You Can Come Even If You're Coming Alone

This is the most common misconception about singles activities: that everyone else is coming with a friend, and you'll be the only one on your own. That's not what happens. Most people book on their own, arrive on their own, and are in exactly the same situation as you when they walk through the door. The difference from most social situations is that everyone in the room has made the same choice. No one is there because someone else convinced them to come.

It may sound surprising, but coming alone is a good thing. When you come with a friend, it's natural to stay together. You already have someone to talk to and someone to turn to when there's a quiet moment. It feels safe—but it can also become a barrier. People rarely move beyond it. When you come alone, there is no barrier. You talk to the people who are actually there. And that's why you came.

The fear usually isn't about the whole evening. It's about the first few minutes - standing alone, not knowing where to go, thinking everyone else already knows each other. Those awkward moments don't really exist here. You'll be welcomed when you arrive, the activity gets started, and you'll immediately have something to do together with everyone else. That's the whole idea behind the format: conversations don't have to be forced because you're already doing something together.

Feeling nervous is completely normal. It doesn't mean you shouldn't come—it just means you're doing something new. You don't have to feel ready. You just have to show up. The hardest part usually happens in your head during the days before the activity—not once you're actually there.

MinglMe is an activity dating platform where singles meet through activities in Stockholm and Sweden instead of chatting in an app.

You don't need someone to come with. Choose an activity you genuinely think looks fun and book your place.
