What we’re about
🔥 Sparks & Mingle – A Singles social group for 50+
Good People. Great Conversation.
🔥 Group Description:
Welcome to Sparks & Mingle, where the conversation crackles, the laughter sizzles, and the connections? Let’s just say… things have been known to catch fire.
This is a singles group for adults 50 and over in Metro Detroit who are looking to heat up their social lives. Whether you’re out to mingle, make new friends, flirt a little (or a lot), or maybe strike a match that actually sticks — you’re in the right place.
We host easygoing, pressure-free meetups — happy hours, dinners, coffee hangs, music nights, and anything else that keeps the sparks flying. No forced icebreakers. No awkward speed dating. Just good company, great conversation, and the possibility of a little friendly combustion.
💥 Come play with matches.
🔥 Who knows what might ignite — friendship, romance, or at the very least… a group that you actually enjoy.
✨ Worst case? You leave with a good laugh, a fun story, and maybe someone new to explore the city with. Best case… well, bring oven mitts. 😉

🚒 A Quick Note About Age (Before Things Get Too Heated):
This group is for singles 50 and over — seriously, that’s the deal.
(Yes, your organizer is slightly under 50… but don’t worry — I have a lifetime honorary membership, and the fire marshal said it’s fine.) 🔥
We’re looking for fun, vibrant people who still have plenty of sparks left — whether that’s for friendship, fun, or something flammable.
⸻
🔥 House Rules:
• 50 and over. No exceptions. (…Except me. I run the thing. Perks of holding the matches.) 🔥
• Kind, respectful, and cool humans only. No wet blankets allowed.
• Zero tolerance for spam, drama, or unsolicited weirdness. This is about real connections and good company.
