Mingle is IRL community for singles who'd rather meet new people over dinner than swipe through a thousand profiles. We host curated group dinners, larger mingles, and themed events in Warsaw. Tell us a bit about yourself in a 2-minute onboarding - your interests, your lifestyle, what you're looking for - and we'll place you in a group that fits. No chatting inside the app, no swiping, no profiles to browse. What's inside: - Browse upcoming events: small circle dinners (6โ8 guests per table, 24 seats total), bigger mingles (150+ guests), and themed nights. Each event lists its age range and keeps genders balanced. - Curated groups: our team reviews your interests and preferences to place you with a compatible group for the evening. Your table is revealed on the day of the event. - Easy booking: pay securely in the app. You'll get venue details and arrival instructions the day before. - Verified community: every member is reviewed by our team before joining. You can block or report anyone from an event you've attended. Mingle is for adults 18+ looking to meet new people in real life โ for going out, friendship, new connections.
