About MG
Mingle Grove is designed to be the best place to meet Portland area people online. (We wish it was a coffee house in real life, but this works too.)
Our Vision
Our Mission
Part of how we choose a friend is by the things we have in common. We want MG to help make finding and meeting people with something in common easier.
Our Process
Think Meetup-like activity website, but with a more one-on-one approach (although activity groups will form).
Our Team
New Connections
The landscape of relationships seems to be evolving, embracing a broader spectrum of connections that extend beyond the traditional model of two people spending their entire lives together. In this contemporary approach, individuals may seek to share different parts of their lives with one partner… or multiple partners, catering to specific needs and desires. If you prefer a full-time romantic relationship, maybe you just want to find a few more fun friends.
Someone to talk to for instance, providing emotional support and intellectual stimulation, offering a shoulder to lean on during tough times and a companion for deep, meaningful conversations.
Another person might be a partner in adventure, sharing hobbies, interests, and experiences, from hiking trails to concert halls to just a shared dinner, enriching each other’s lives through shared activities.
Yet another might play a practical role, like a partner who excels in fixing things around the house, cooking a healthier menu or offering expertise in areas where the other might not be as skilled, contributing to a sense of teamwork and mutual support.
And then, there’s the possibility of a Lover, someone with whom physical and romantic connection is the focus, bringing intimacy and passion into the mix.
This modern view acknowledges that not all needs have to be, or perhaps can be, met by a single individual, opening up the possibility for richer, more diverse, and fulfilling relationships that together compose a complete and balanced life.
But monogamy remains a prevalent and deeply valued practice for many. At its core, monogamy is cherished for the depth of commitment, exclusivity, and the intimate bond it fosters between two individuals.
This traditional relationship model continues to hold significant importance, often seen as a foundation for family stability and emotional security. The choice of monogamy highlights the diverse ways in which individuals seek to express and experience love, each path valid and significant in its own right.
Extra Effort
At Mingle Grove, our approach is rooted in the belief that matchmaking is more than just algorithms and swipes; it’s about genuine connections, heartfelt support, and the journey to find not just any relationships, but the right ones.
Unlike the many big dating websites where members can often feel like just another profile in a never-ending stack, our team prioritizes the individual stories, aspirations, and desires of each member. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with care, respect, and attention to detail that the larger platforms simply cannot afford to offer.
Our commitment extends beyond the surface. We understand that the quest for a meaningful relationship is a deeply personal and sometimes vulnerable journey. That’s why we’ve cultivated a community where members are charged fairly, without hidden fees or unexpected costs (free for now, at least)— transparency is key to trust and a testament to our integrity. But what truly sets Mingle Grove apart is our dedication to the success of our members. We celebrate every connection made and every love story that begins with us, big or small. Our team invests time and heart into curating matches, organizing events, and creating spaces that encourage genuine interactions, always with the goal of fostering relationships that last.
At Mingle Grove, we’re not just building a dating platform; we’re nurturing a community where every member can feel valued, understood, and hopeful about finding love or friendship. It’s this commitment to heart-driven matchmaking that makes Mingle Grove a place where real connections flourish, far away from the impersonal approach of the larger dating sites.

Welcome to Mingle Grove! We sincerely hope this place helps you find new friends and enjoy your MG community experience.
I started Mingle Grove to provide a dating site with integrity. A place where you can feel comfortable being you… a place where you can feel comfortable you are among your neighbors… a place where even though you are meeting someone online, it still offers an emotional sense of who they are and what they want.
And we try to keep it local feeling, so you remember you are a short distance away from meeting face-to-face, if you choose. We still recognize meeting in person is the best way for new friends to connect!
We hope you enjoy Mingle Grove Community and encourage you to continue communicating to others as the best, and indeed only, way we will become a great place to meet new friends.
Thank you for joining us and let me know through the Contact page if you like the site and if I can help you in any way. Enjoy! …George
