Early Lessons in Empathy

My story starts in a small, cozy home in Coquille, Oregon with my mom and siblings. My loving mother was a single parent, and from her, I learned about resilience, strength, and the challenges that women often face. These early lessons in empathy and respect have stayed with me and greatly influenced how I view relationships.

In college, an intriguing, hippy professor introduced me to new ways of connecting with people. We would engage in exercises that focused on present-moment awareness and honest communication. This experience was a revelation to me, highlighting the warm feeling you get from genuine interaction with others. It made me realize how much depth and connection we miss in our everyday conversations.

The Turning Point

After college, I ventured into the world of technology and computers. After my second marriage ended, online dating was just starting. I would have sworn they made this service just for me! I could meet a girl without going to a bar!

While the convenience of meeting people online intrigued me, I quickly noticed some issues – superficial connections and a general lack of depth in connection, among others. Many women I met shared their discomfort with dating sites and their desire for a more personal and emotional way to meet people. These stories drove my intent to create something better.

Creating Mingle Grove

That’s how Mingle Grove was born. I wanted to build a space that wasn’t just about swiping left or right but about forming meaningful relationships. At Mingle Grove, our online neighborhood is designed to help our members find local, in-person interactions in a genuine, meaningful and friendly environment. It’s about letting you get to know the person behind the profile, sharing experiences and building connections that go beyond the screen that can then help you feel more comfortable and confident getting together in person.

Central to Mingle Grove’s approach are our Groups—whether online or in person—that simplify meeting new people in your community. With online video chats, you can comfortably connect with others from home, while our impromptu, in-person meetups encouraged at local parks, breweries, or events provide a relaxed, social atmosphere for face-to-face interaction. These group environments create a welcoming space where you can take your time, building relationships within a supportive community.

Our community is designed to be inclusive and welcoming, where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves. Whether you’re looking for a romantic partner or just someone to share activities with, Mingle Grove is a good place to start. We strive to make every interaction meaningful and ensure that all members feel valued and respected.
