Make Friends Who Actually Show Up

Welcome to the Anti-Flake Friendship Club

Apply today!

The Anti-Flake Friendship Club, Explained

Mixingle Circles is a 6-week program where we match you with a small group of people who meet weekly to build real friendships.

Same crew. Built-in plans. Everyone shows up.

Here's How It Works

1

WE MATCH YOU

Fill out a short application where you get to tell us about yourself. Then we match you with compatible people.

2

YOU MEET WEEKLY

Same people. Same commitment. Every week for 6 weeks. Built-in plans, zero coordination chaos.

3

FRIENDSHIPS HAPPEN

By Week 3, you have inside jokes. By Week 6, you have a crew. After the program? Friends who follow through.

If This Sounds Familiar...

You meet someone cool. You exchange numbers. "We should totally hang out!" And then... nothing. The text sits there. Life gets busy. You both move on. Or maybe you DO make plans, and they cancel. Twice. Eventually you stop trying.

It's not you. It's the system.

Making friends as an adult is weirdly hard. Not because you're bad at it. But because there's no structure anymore. No dorms. No forced proximity. No one making you show up.

You've tried:

  • Bumble BFF (ghosted after three messages)

  • Meetups (showed up once, never saw those people again)

  • Being the "organizer" (exhausting, thankless, no one follows through)

 

Here's what you actually need:

People who commit. Plans that happen. A system that makes flaking weird.

Real People,
Real Friendships

They always say you find someone special when you stop looking for them. I was happy to find someone I wasn't looking for, but most certainly needed in my life.

Who's in a Circle?

See yourself anywhere here? Most people relate to more than one. When you apply, you'll tell us where you're at and we'll use that, along with everything else we learn about you, to build the right circle for you.

New to Seattle

You moved here within the last 1-3 years. You like the city, but it still doesn't feel like home. You want people to explore it with.

New to Seattle Circle

Do You See Yourself Here?
Saturday afternoon. You want to try that new ramen spot, but not alone. Again. College friends are three time zones away. Coworkers aren't "weekend hangout" friends. You end up with Netflix and takeout. Solo.

You might be a fit if:
  • Moved to Seattle within 3 years

  • Have zero close local friends

  • Tired of exploring alone

  • Want a crew, not just coworkers

 

Your Circle might:

  • Find your go-to coffee shop together

  • Debate which neighborhood has the best brunch

  • Build weekly traditions from scratch

  • Become your Seattle family

Outdoors & Adventure

You're happiest outside — hiking, kayaking, weekend trips. You want adventure buddies who actually follow through on plans.

Outdoors & Adventure Circle

 

Do You See Yourself Here?

5am alarm. Perfect sunrise hike weather. You're packed and ready... to go alone. Again. The drive is quiet. The summit photo is for Instagram—no one to share it with. REI membership: used. Hiking buddy list: empty.

 

You might be a fit if:
  • Value active, outdoor lifestyle

  • Done too many solo adventures

  • Want friends who show up for hikes

  • Seek activity + real conversation

 

Your Circle might:
  • Keep a running trail list to conquer

  • Finally split gas to trailheads

  • Plan camping trips without coordination chaos

  • Actually use those REI memberships together

Social Reset

Your old crew moved away or got married. Life happened. You're ready to build something real again.

Social Reset Circle

 

Do You See Yourself Here?

Friday night. Scrolling for dinner plans. College bestie is in Chicago. Former happy hour crew? Baby. Married. "So busy." You send "we should catch up!" texts knowing they won't happen. Work calendar: packed. Weekend calendar: empty.

 

You might be a fit if:
  • In your 30s, 40s, or beyond

  • Close friends moved or life stages shifted

  • Past the "party every weekend" phase

  • Want depth, not just small talk

 

Your Circle might:
  • Host dinner parties instead of bar crawls

  • Have real conversations about life

  • Plan grown-up adventures (wine tasting, trips)

  • Actually keep plans (we're past flaking... right?)

Women's Circle

A women-only space to build friendships without the performance. 

Women's Circle

 
​Do You See Yourself Here?

You crave female companionship. You watch 'Sex and the City' and 'Golden Girls' on repeat and wish you had a friend group like that. A group where you can be yourself, laugh together, support one another, and share memories.

 

You might be a fit if:
  • Craving female friendships that go deeper than surface level

  • Want a no-judgment space to actually be yourself

  • Ready for real talk, not just "I'm fine, you?"

 

Your Circle might:
  • Skip the small talk and go straight to what's real

  • Be the text thread you actually look forward to

  • Hold space for hard weeks without making it weird

  • host weekly brunches together

Young Professionals

College gave you a built-in crew. Same dorms, same classes, same bars. Then you graduated, got the job, and realized no one tells you how to make friends after that.

Young Professionals Circle

 
Do You See Yourself Here?

The job, the apartment, the city. It's actually pretty good. But it's also... quieter than you expected. In college, your friends were 50 feet away. Weekends planned themselves. Now your coworkers go home to their families and your college friends are scattered across three time zones. You text the group chat. React to someone's Instagram story. Close your phone. Saturday: nothing.

 

Nobody warned you that adulting would include starting your social life completely from scratch.

 

You might be a fit if:
  • Recently graduated or early in your career 

  • Your college crew is spread across the country or the world

  • You have work friends, but the relationship ends at 5pm

  • Your weekend plans used to make themselves. Now they don't.

 

Your Circle might:
  • Be the first people you've actually hung out with since moving here

  • Do the things you keep meaning to try — new restaurants, hiking, game nights

  • Become the group chat you actually respond to

  • Feel a little bit like having your people back

The Fresh Start

You're navigating a big shift: a move, a breakup, a career change, a loss. You are looking for people who get where you are at.

The Fresh Start Circle

 
Do You See Yourself Here?

Six months ago, your life looked completely different. Different address. Different Sunday routine. Maybe a different last name. Maybe a different city, career, chapter. The people you leaned on were part of that version of your life. And now you're standing in the new one, and it's quieter than you expected. This isn't just "I need more friends." This is: everything changed, and I need people who belong to this version of me.

 

You might be a fit if:
  • Going through (or recently came out of) a big shift — divorce, breakup, move, loss, reinvention

  • Your support system was tied to the old chapter

  • Ready to build forward, not just survive

  • Want connection that feels like progress

 

Your Circle might:
  • Be people who also know what starting over actually feels like

  • Meet you exactly where you're at — no explaining required

  • Be proof that the new chapter can be just as good

What's Included 
(And Why People Love It)

$250 for 6 weeks - that's about $42 per week.

 

For less than a typical dinner out, you get a curated group of people who actually show up, a plan for every week, and a system designed to turn strangers into real friends.

 

Here's what's included:

  • Personalized matching: We carefully review every application and hand-pick a small group based on life stage, values, interests, and availability. 

  • 6 weeks of planned activities: We suggest and coordinate a new activity each week so you never have to figure out what to do or where to go. Just show up.

  • Profile cards before Week 1: Know who you're meeting before you walk in the door. First names, neighborhoods, interests, and fun facts. No awkward "wait, what's your name again?" moments.

  • A Circle Toolkit: Conversation prompts, weekly themes, and connection guides designed to help you go deeper than small talk from the very first meetup.

  • Ongoing support from Mixingle:  Weekly check-ins, a direct line if anything comes up, and facilitation every step of the way. You're never on your own.

  • A foundation for friendships that last: Most Circles keep meeting long after the 6 weeks end. We give you the structure to start. What you build from there is yours.

Your Crew Is Waiting

This isn't another app. It's a group of real people who all agreed to show up every week, for 6 weeks.


When everyone commits, something different happens: plans actually happen, conversations go deeper, and friendships stick.

Same people. Same time. Real connection.

6 weeks of guided connection
