Mingle Grove...

A Unique "Connections Community" Website for Oregon

...More than just meeting- Bringing people together.

Welcome to The Mingle Grove Community, where we help each other find new and nourishing relationships that go beyond the screen.

We’re more than a dating site; we will soon be a vibrant community dedicated to helping you meet local people in a meaningful, genuine, and enjoyable way. Whether you’re looking for love, friendship, or someone to share your hobbies with, Mingle Grove is bringing people together in Oregon, and surrounding areas, with more regions opening soon.

Oregon's New MG Connections Community

Life is better when we have people to share it with—friends to laugh with, a group to belong to, or someone who just gets you. But in today’s world, meeting new people isn’t always easy. That’s where Mingle Grove comes in. Our MG belief: Meet people conveniently online, but connecting happens in person.

Mingle Grove is a new evolution in social media: a unique “Connections Community” place made just for Oregon. Forget websites that keep you glued to a screen rather than meeting people. With your help,  we think Mingle Grove can be the next level of real-world connection—a local community built for everyone looking to meet new people, whether for romance, a hiking partner, a card group, or a playdate for your kids. Think of it as Match, Meetup, and Nextdoor all together—but focused here in the greater Portland area.

MG helps you start from home, making it simple to find and connect with others who share your interests. Introduce yourself one-on-one or try browsing groups, join discussions, and hop into virtual gatherings—all at your own pace. Then, when it feels right, step out and meet in person, because the best connections happen face-to-face.

Whether you’re looking to join an existing group or start your own, Mingle Grove makes it easy to bring people together. No pressure, no endless scrolling—just real connections, made easier.

Mingle Grove is mostly powered by its members and volunteers. Whether it’s creating and organizing groups, moderating discussions, or helping others feel welcome, volunteers help shape the MG experience. Let’s make MG a welcome and friendly place for all.

Mingle Grove is free to join, and as a Founding Member, you’ll get access to extra features at no cost. Sign up today and start making connections that matter. Meet Online – Connect in person.

Bringing People Together

Making Nourishing Connections

At Minglegrove.com, we understand that connections with people form the foundation of a fulfilling life, transcending traditional boundaries to include not only romantic partnerships but also friendships, activity partners, and supportive communities.

Recognizing the dynamic nature of how people come together, we’ve embraced the latest evolution in social interaction, what we call a Relationship website, from virtual meetups to helping people connect in shared living arrangements, reflecting a broad spectrum of needs and desires.

Our platform is designed to facilitate these diverse forms of connection, offering online tools and spaces that cater to the evolving ways individuals seek companionship, support, and shared experiences. And encouraging local gatherings to get you face-to-face as well.

Whether it’s finding a travel buddy, a new best friend, or a like-minded individual to share life’s adventures, Minglegrove.com is committed to helping you navigate this landscape, making meaningful connections easier and more accessible than ever before.

Tired of the Big Dating Websites?

Northwest singles… we hear you – you’ve had it with the big, impersonal dating websites?

Fed up with added expenses at every turn? Running into fake people? Discovering your profile lived on long after you quit?

Helping find people with whom to connect is what we are about at MG. Finding that special one for you is about your heart. We will always respect that.

Yearning for something more authentic... more nourishing? Us too.

Find A New Friend

Everyone deserves a chance to meet someone who gets them. It’s about putting yourself out there in a way that feels fun, freeing, and without pressure …starting with MG.

So why not? Experience a new, exciting way to meet people in around, and in, Oregon that’s as friendly, encouraging, and full of possibilities as the region we call home.

Join us at Mingle Grove for free, where the journey to meet like-minded individuals in the Pacific Northwest is reimagined as an adventure filled with potential, warmth, and the promise of new friendships.

Single or Married - Find Your Mingle Groups

Imagine a place where first impressions extend past a simple swipe, beginning with a personal, ten-second, phone-selfie video. It captures the essence of Portland’s innovative and inclusive spirit, creating a welcoming space for you to show up authentically. Mingle Grove is not just another dating site; it’s a modern-day rendezvous place for people craving real connections, blending the excitement of new encounters with the warmth of familiar ones.

Some current MG Groups:

  • Traditional Dating
  • Non-Traditional Dating
  • Activity Partners

And Mingle Grove let’s you create your own Mingle Groups that make MG a better place. This feature invites you to tailor your search for connection, around what you want in life. Make your group totally private by invitation only, if you like. MG believes making connections should be as diverse and dynamic as the individuals within our community.

Frequently Asked Questions

We started the MG community as a dating website, in part, because we felt even online, meeting someone should be meaningful and genuine. And we felt big dating websites had lost their way.

Mingle Grove has evolved to be about helping people make real connections with your neighbors… whether you are looking for a lifelong romantic partner, someone new to share in an activity or just a new friend to come out and play.

MG is different than the big dating websites because:

  • MG is owned by one, semi-retired guy that isn’t planning ways to increase your subscription fees.
  • The same guy had too many bad experiences with the big dating websites and hears similar stories from others.
  • Conclusion? There has got to be a better, more humanizing way to meet people, even if it is online.

So MG is striving to be better…. we are also different because:

  • Local Approach – We verify each member’s address so you know you are connecting with people in your area. Local gatherings are encouraged.
  • Meaningful And Genuine – We strive to build a supportive, local community. We provide a secure platform and monitor feedback to create an environment you can trust.
  • Community Focus – Join a local community of like-minded individuals who want to meet other people, while valuing authenticity and meaningful connections.

Yes, married individuals, and couples, can find Activity Partners to share the things they like to do. Hiking partners, card playing friends, Superbowl aficionados, happy hour associates… MG is about finding new friends, first and foremost.

Yes, we offer a free level of MG. You will always be able to message someone. Or leave your profile available and get notified if someone wants to talk. Or hide your profile until you return.

MG is serious about trying to help members get to know their neighbors. We encourage you to tell MGer’s about yourself with a ten-second, video introduction, along with your pictures and your stories that let others know you better.

And we want to hear all about who you want to meet and why. (Spoiler alert: You have a secret, additional profile for your Connections!)

Nearly every MG profile question is optional. You can make your visits quick and easy, or spend a little time to make your introductions more meaningful and reflective… your call. (We do know more informative profiles help others feel more comfortable meeting you)
