TAMPA, FL, September 07, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Single Social Club, a new Tampa Bay-based social platform, is offering a fresh approach to socializing and potentially meeting new people. Unlike traditional dating apps, Single Social Club emphasizes shared interests and activities over constant interaction, aiming to alleviate the burnout many singles experience with current dating formats.
Founder Felicity G. Morgan, a professional matchmaker, and technology lead Greg Miceli co-founded the platform. Morgan was inspired by conversations with singles who were tired of the constant pressure to find a date. "I kept hearing the same thing: 'I'm taking a break from dating. I'm focusing on myself. I'm tired of the apps.' But why should focusing on yourself mean sitting at home?" Morgan said.
Single Social Club's model is straightforward. Instead of swiping profiles and deciding on a date, members choose an activity they want to do, ranging from kayaking and pickleball to dining, trivia, fitness, and more. The platform then pairs compatible individuals for the chosen activity, typically in groups of six to eight people.
One key feature of Single Social Club is its approach to identity. Members use code names rather than revealing their full identities until they decide to connect further. "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," Morgan explained.
The platform is designed to be inclusive, offering activities for singles at various stages of their lives. "It's not just for people actively searching for a relationship," Morgan noted. "It’s for the person coming out of a breakup, the newly divorced parent rebuilding a social life, or the professional whose friends are married, busy, or interested in different things."
Single Social Club launched with a $1 introductory offer for the first 30 days, with Basic membership at $20 per month. The platform currently includes over 157 activity options and aims to foster genuine connections by focusing on shared experiences rather than superficial interactions.
Morgan believes that the traditional dating format has become too efficient at disqualifying potential matches. "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," she said. "We're flipping that sequence with Single Social Club. Activity first. Person second. Romance only if it develops."
The platform's technology is designed to help people get off their screens and into the real world. "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's initial focus is on Tampa Bay, but the founders plan to expand as interest grows. "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."
With a growing number of singles experiencing dating app burnout, Single Social Club offers a promising alternative. By prioritizing activities over immediate connections, the platform aims to create a more fulfilling and less pressured social experience.
