1. A way to meet new people.
2. A hybrid between networking and hooking up.
*When you
mingle you are meeting people of the same or opposite sex to either become a work contact, end up in a relationship with, or just say that you met them (and have a future place to stay when in the area for the night).
*If you remember to go into a mingle situation with an
open mind, and not instantly decide if they're going to be a hookup that night, for example, you will have a better time actually meeting them.
*Who
mingles? Mostly women and gay men.
