Singles Message Boards - The message boards are discussions between members about anything and everything. You can choose to read the discussions, join in the discussions, or even start a new discussion! By reading the boards, you will get to know your fellow minglers in a relaxed and friendly environment. If you're interested in what someone has to say, you can instantly bring up that member's profile. The message boards are not chatrooms, so you don't need to be online at the same time other members are to interact with them. try out mingles.com for free and see

New member notifications - On the profile page is a check box where you can elect to automatically receive an email whenever someone new joins Mingles that matches your profile. This is a great way to keep track of who's new on Mingles without having to keep checking the web site. You will get a personal notification when new members create profiles that match with yours, and also when existing matches modify their profiles. Very cool site function indeed!

Voice Messaging Another very cool tool lets you can add a voice message to your profile if you'd like too. Upload a wav file to your profile and speak your mind! Cutting edge matchmaking at it's best. Mingles will convert your message to a RealAudio file and attach it to your profile.

Mingles.com Hotlist Option - Mingles.com gives you the ability to create your own personal hotlist of the members that interest you. A hotlist is like a notebook. When you find a member that you're interested in, you can click the Add To Hotlist button below that member's profile. This will put that profile in your hotlist. You can then review the profiles in your hotlist at any time by going to the Hotlist page. Your hotlist will be saved from session to session, so the next time you log back on, your hotlist will still be there.

Flirting Winks to Mingles Members - Winking is a cool way to flirt with another mingles member. If you are unsure what to say in an email, but still want to flirt with someone, you can wink at them (using the wink button underneath their profile). The member will receive an email saying that you've winked at them. They can then decide if they wish to wink back, or maybe even email you back!

And then we have Mingling - Mingling is an exclusive hip feature of Mingles that you won't be able to find anywhere else. Wouldn't it be nice to find out who was interested in meeting someone just like you? Remember, mingling is different than matching or searching. Mingling shows you members who have described someone like yourself as being the type of person they are looking to meet, but who don't necessarily meet your stated criteria. It's worth checking these members out... you might find someone interesting that you're overlooking! Have a mingle
