The FlowMingle Story

Flowmingle is a fresh take on online dating. We intelligently place people in small local groups that interact with each other during a five day guided introduction process. Every day the group is presented an ice-breaker question that is designed to encourage interpersonal communication, spark interest, and help people get to know each other in a meaningful way.

We built FlowMingle.com upon the belief that we could make online dating dramatically better, and help people find relationships by following these guiding principles:

Guiding Principles

  • Encourage meaningful interaction
    • Provide a guided structure that helps take the guess work and stress out of getting to know someone
    • Give users as many opportunities as possible to communicate
    • Create interesting and fun daily questions
  • Be a guide
    • Create a gentle learning curve and simple entry point
    • Accept and provide feedback
    • Help users through the process by giving examples and assistance along the way
  • Encourage self-expression, creativity, and multidimensionality
  • Encourage communication and feedback between users
  • Welcome everyone / Exclude no one
    • Even if a user does not connect with anyone in his or her Mingle, we use that information to more intelligently create their next Mingle
  • Provide clear goals and a clear path to progress from an online connection to a “real-life” meeting/date
  • Let users choose who they want to connect with
    • People themselves are infinitely better at choosing their partners than algorithms or tests alone will ever be.

We started building FlowMingle about one year ago, and it has turned into something that we are very proud of, something we hope you’ll be proud to partake in or recommend to someone else. Flowmingle is built by us, three normal people that have been through our own ups and downs in relationships, know how tiring it can be to feel alone, and how complex and hard it is to find the right person. We’ve reflected a great deal on these things as well as the thoughts and experiences that others have shared regarding online-dating, meeting people, and love… believing that the greatest tool we could ever fashion for FlowMingle would be thoughtfulness.
