Male, single, dances and socialises (7)

I believe the answer is:

mingles

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'socialises' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'male single dances' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'dances' indicates an anagram.
'single' anagrammed gives 'ingles'.
'm'+'ingles'='MINGLES'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mingles that I've seen before include "Mixes together" , "Circulates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
