Should dating be available on prescription?
"What if your doctor said: 'You need companionship. I'm prescribing you a date.' It sounds provocative. A bit crazy. But is it really? On February 14, 2026, we're participating in the debate in Expressen: Single life is expensive. Very expensive. Not just for the individual. Not just for the wallet. But for society as a whole. Read the opinion piece here.
Being single – a lifestyle or a cost?
When we lost the meeting places
In the past, people met through friends, associations, and workplaces. Today, much happens on mobile phones. Sure, the apps made dating efficient. But efficient isn't the same as working well.
That's why more and more people today are searching for something else and a more genuine experience:
- how to meet singles without apps
- activities for singles in Stockholm
- singles events Stockholm
- mingles for singles
And it's not 'because everything was better in the past'. It's a longing for something that feels more real.
Dating as public health?
We already prescribe physical activity and talk therapy. Why don't we talk as openly about companionship? Companionship is security. Context. Social training. Faith in the future. So maybe 'dating on prescription' isn't literal. But perhaps it's a signal that companionship isn't a luxury.
A new way to meet – IRL
That's why MinglMe exists
MinglMe was created to make it easier to meet singles in real life.
You see other singles digitally. You book the same activity. You meet IRL.
It's activity dating. It's slow dating. It's a new way to meet singles in Stockholm.
