Created by professional matchmaker Felicity G. Morgan and technology co-founder Greg Miceli, the new activity-first platform brings verified singles together around what they want to do and when they're actually free to do it.
TAMPA, FL, September 07, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Swipe left. Swipe right. Judge the photo. Read three sentences. Decide whether someone is worth meeting.
Then start all over again.
Single Social Club, a new activity-first social platform launching from Tampa Bay, is asking singles to try something different:
What if you stopped making every interaction about finding a date and started living your life around other singles instead?
Created by professional matchmaker Felicity G. Morgan, founder of Assured Matchmaking, and co-founded with technology lead Greg Miceli, Single Social Club was born from conversations Morgan was already having with singles who felt exhausted by modern dating.
"I kept hearing the same thing," Morgan said. "'I'm taking a break from dating. I'm focusing on myself. I'm tired of the apps.' And I thought, okay. Focus on yourself. But why should focusing on yourself mean sitting at home? If you love kayaking, go kayak. If you want to learn pickleball, go play pickleball. If your friends aren't available or don't want to do it, why can't we help you find other singles who do?"
That question became Single Social Club.
This Is Not a Dating App
Single Social Club removes one of the most familiar features of online dating entirely:
There is no swiping.
Members aren't presented with an endless catalog of photographs and asked to decide who deserves a conversation.
Instead, they begin with an activity.
The platform currently includes more than 157 activity options, from kayaking and pickleball to dining, trivia, fitness, attractions, entertainment and other experiences.
Members choose what they would genuinely like to do, indicate how far they're willing to travel, select the age ranges they generally feel comfortable socializing with, and enter when they're actually available.
Then the technology does something people often struggle to accomplish themselves:
It finds the overlap.
"If you're free Saturday from two to seven and somebody else is free from three to six, we don't need six text messages asking, 'What time works for you?'" Morgan said. "We already have the overlap. Now let's find the other people who wanted to do the same thing."
When compatible participation exists, Single Social Club can bring members together in small groups, generally building toward groups of approximately six to eight people.
Meet Bee, Fox, Moon or Turtle Before You Meet the Person Behind the Name
Single Social Club also takes a different approach to identity inside the activity experience.
Members interact using code names rather than immediately displaying their full identities to the group.
You might be Bee.
Someone else might be Fox, Moon, Turtle or Star.
The temporary group environment allows participants to coordinate and communicate without automatically handing strangers their personal phone numbers or contact information.
Behind the scenes, Single Social Club uses a verification process before members participate. The platform is designed with privacy, verification and member safety as core considerations, while recognizing that no social platform or verification process can guarantee another person's behavior.
"We wanted people to have some breathing room," Morgan said. "You don't need to know someone's entire dating résumé before you've even bowled a frame with them. Go have the experience. Talk. Laugh. Pay attention to how people actually show up."
Modern Dating May Have Become Too Good at Eliminating People
The timing is deliberate.
Popular dating formats have increasingly turned the mechanics of modern dating itself into entertainment.
The viral Pop the Balloon format makes rejection immediate: participants can eliminate a potential match based on what they see or hear, sometimes before much meaningful interaction has occurred.
Its creators have publicly argued that the show's sometimes uncomfortable moments expose something already happening in modern dating: unrealistic expectations, materialism and superficial judgments.
Meanwhile, Love Is Blind became a cultural phenomenon by testing the opposite question: what happens when people form connections before seeing one another?
Single Social Club isn't trying to recreate either show.
But Morgan believes both point toward an important question:
Are singles sometimes eliminating people before they've had enough information to know who they're eliminating?
"We've gotten incredibly efficient at disqualifying each other," Morgan said. "A picture. Height. Shoes. A job title. One sentence in a profile. Sometimes we're deciding what somebody isn't before we've had an opportunity to experience who they are."
Single Social Club flips that sequence.
Activity first. Person second. Romance only if it develops.
For the People Who Are "Working on Themselves," Too
Single Social Club isn't only designed for people actively searching for a relationship.
It is also for the person coming out of a breakup.
The newly divorced parent rebuilding a social life.
The professional whose friends are married, busy or simply interested in different things.
The person taking a break from dating.
The person discovering who they are again.
And the person who simply doesn't want to spend another Saturday night conducting a first-date interview.
Research on dating-app use has increasingly examined dating-app burnout and emotional exhaustion among users.
Morgan sees that fatigue regularly through her work in matchmaking.
"Sometimes you don't need another date," Morgan said. "Sometimes you need to go live. Go do something you've always wanted to try. Meet some people. Maybe you make a friend. Maybe you discover something about yourself. Maybe somebody catches your attention. And maybe nobody does."
She added:
"If you meet somebody interesting, great. If you don't, you still had a life that day."
What Happens If There Is a Connection?
Single Social Club isn't pretending romance won't happen.
It simply doesn't require romance to be the price of admission.
After an activity, members have a private opportunity to indicate whether someone in their group stood out to them. One-sided interest remains private.
When two people independently express genuine interest in one another, the platform can recognize the mutual connection.
That's where Morgan's other business, Assured Matchmaking, can optionally step in to help participants explore what might come next.
There is no public rejection board. No popularity counter. And members aren't paying to discover a fabricated list of people who supposedly liked them.
The experience remains social first.
Technology Designed to Get People Off Technology
For Miceli, the challenge was building technology whose success ultimately means people put their phones away.
"Most technology is designed to keep you on the screen," Miceli said. "We're building something that's supposed to help you get off the screen. The technology handles the coordination, finds the overlap and helps form the group. Then the real experience happens in the real world."
Single Social Club is a web app, which means members can access it directly through their phone or computer browser without going through a traditional app-store download.
Mobile users can also save Single Social Club to their phone's home screen for convenient app-like access.
Starting in Tampa Bay, Built With Expansion in Mind
Single Social Club can be accessed beyond Florida, but its initial participation and activity-building efforts are deliberately concentrated in Tampa Bay, where the concept was developed.
During the initial launch period, the founders plan to watch where interest develops and expand active communities as participation grows in additional markets.
"We're starting at home," Morgan said. "I want to see Tampa Bay get out of the house. I want to see people trying things, meeting people and actually enjoying being single while they're single. Then we'll see where the community takes us."
$1 to Try Single Social Club for 30 Days
To make trying the concept easy, Single Social Club is launching with introductory access for $1 for the first 30 days.
After the introductory period, unless canceled, membership automatically renews at the applicable membership rate. The Basic membership is $20 per month and includes up to five activity opportunities per month. Individual activity, venue, food, ticket, transportation or other third-party costs are separate.
For Morgan, the invitation is simple:
"Don't join because I promised you're going to meet the love of your life. I can't promise that, and neither can anybody else. Join because there's something you've been wanting to do. Go do it. Let life surprise you from there."
