Code of Conduct

We like to keep things fun, friendly and fabulous – just like our guests. If you don’t play by the rules, you will miss out… and let’s face it, nobody wants FOMO that fierce.

We want everyone to get the most out of their Single & Mingle experience, so we have a Code of Conduct – or social etiquette rules, if you prefer.

Failure to comply with these will result in the closure of your online account, and you’ll not be welcome at our events.

One strike, and you’re out!

In a nutshell

  • Be kind
  • Be polite
  • Be considerate of others
  • Don't lie - be unapologetically you
  • Don't hog people - be fair and let others socialise with the people you like
  • Don't assume someone is interested in you romantically just because they're talking to you
  • Don't assume that someone wants a kiss on the cheek (or more) - respect people's personal space
  • Don't be rude
  • If someone says no - they mean NO
  • Don't be a dick! There - we said it!

Relationship status = single

Our only pre-requisite is that you’re single and open to dating and meeting new people.

Please do not attend our events if you are in a relationship. Single & Mingle host in-person socials, exclusively for singles – so there’s an expectation that those in attendance at our events, are indeed single.

Connecting after an event

Not everyone likes to ask for people’s details during an event, so we have a post-event connection request service which allows you to connect with others after an event has ended.

We will not tolerate misuse of our connection request service:

  • Keep it clean
  • Don't share personal or private information
  • Only share your number and email if you feel comfortable doing so

Be respectful

Single & Mingle promote a safe space for people to meet in real life. Our events are for everyone, no matter their gender, sexual orientation, religion, abilities, disabilities, shape and size, ethnicity, or identity (please note: some events are for everyone and some are for specific age groups or sexual orientations).

If we are made aware of any discriminatory behaviour, harassment, or abuse to a fellow member, an event host, a venue partner’s team or their customers, your account will be closed, and you’ll not be welcome at our events.

Be unapologetically you

No one likes a liar!

There’s someone out there for everyone, so be true to yourself.

Do not lie about your age, social standing, work, life experience, or anything else – you’ll always get found out, and deception (aka catfishing) is never a good look.

Let's keep things private

We recommend that you do not share any private or personal information on your member profile, such as your address, contact details, security details etc.

Only your first name and first letter of your surname will be used on your member profile.

After meeting someone, and if you feel comfortable doing so, you may wish to share your phone number or email address so you can continue the conversation.

Soliciting and illegal behaviour

We have a zero-tolerance policy for any illegal behaviour or soliciting of any kind at our events, on our website, on your member profile, when using our connection request service, and on our social media platforms.

This includes, but isn’t limited to, the sale or use of illegal substances, offering services of a sexual nature, or promoting anything unlawful. Anyone found to be engaging in this kind of activity will be removed immediately and may be permanently banned from future events. We also reserve the right to report serious matters to the relevant authorities.

No Photos or Videos

Please upload a suitable and recent photo of yourself to your member profile. This must be clean, clothed, and a true likeness of you.

Dating is a very private thing for most, therefore, we do not allow photography or filming at our events 

Single & Mingle host the occasional event where photographers and videographers are present. These are our media events, and for those who book a place, they are made explicitly aware that they will appear in our marketing. 

If you don’t want to appear in our marketing, it’s simple – don’t attend a media event.

No-Shows

No one likes a no-show!

We get that things happen. Cars break down, childcare falls through, and people change their minds. But please let us know if you can no longer attend an event.

We can’t stress enough how people not turning up, having booked a place, affects the dynamics of an event. 

If you simply don’t show up, it can: 

  • skew the gender balance
  • lead to low attendance
  • disappoint those who have turned up
  • affect our venue partner relationships (they staff our events according to numbers)
  • make it awkward for our hosts

So pretty please – do the courteous thing and let us know
