Getting Started…

Getting Around Mingle Grove

Mingle Grove is easy to use, especially in our just-starting phase. Think of MG as a “get-to-know someone” place, rather than just a dating site, and you will better appreciate what MG has to offer.

Mingle Grove

More than just a dating website.
Helping people connect online and off…
meaningful, local, and genuine.

Getting Started

Register for free by choosing a Display Name (it can be your first name), then entering your gender, age and city. Then choose which group you want to join. MG will strive to keep basic dating available for free.

MG Members

Think dating website with local people looking for relationships, offering a view into their world. MG also offers an Activity Partners area too. Think Meetup-like website, but with a more one-on-one approach (although activity groups will form). Message or request a Connect to a member to show your interest.

Your Profile

Your Profile introduces you! Spend some time on it? Or just upload a Profile picture and the rest is optional. We recommend taping a ten second Introduction Selfie Video with your phone. And MG offers an extensive area to share your unique stories.
