SPEED DATING IN CHICAGO, IL

This is our most common theme, as it attracts a quality crowd of young, attractive and successful singles. At these events, you'll have a number of dates with smart and active people like yourself, whatever that professional pursuit may be. Just because it's our generic theme doesn't mean you won't meet interesting people who would also happily attend events like "Athletic Singles", "Diverse Singles" or "Creative Singles" - it just means that it's a great theme to enjoy a speed-dating event that's likely to attract a crowd well-suited to the typical busy city single.

Not so much a theme as an event format - consider this the same as "Single Professionals", but bigger! If you enjoy speed-dating, and believe that finding people to connect with is all about first impressions and percentages, then you will probably get a lot out of our marathon events. You can choose either our "Thirty First Dates" or "Fifty First Dates" format - aside from the numerous opportunities you'll have to find attractive people to date, this will also just be a fun, flirty and highly unusual evening.

If you are you one of the thousands of single African Americans in the city, then come out and meet a bunch of other fabulous African Americans, and select those you would like to meet again.

This is a special event for creative and artistic singles, and those who want to meet them. So whether you're an artist, a lateral thinker, or just appreciate museums, indie film and the occasional non-corporate mindset, this is the event for you.

This event is for Asian-Americans and other Asians who would like to meet other Chicago singles of the same background. (Please note: while everyone is welcome at almost all of our events, for this one please sign up only if you consider yourself to be Asian.)

Like running, hiking, roller-blading, yoga, and other active pursuits, and want to meet other single professionals with similar interests? Whether you're a weekend warrior, love the outdoors, or just like keeping fit, this is the event for you.

Want to meet people from a wide range of races, ethnicities, and countries? Of course everyone is welcome at all of our events, but this event is for people who are especially interested in meeting diverse singles.

At this worldly event you will meet other singles who are passionate about exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. Here's your chance to exchange adventure stories and swap travel tips, and maybe pick up a travel buddy. You don't have to be a serial traveler to attend this event - just have an interest in checking out what the world has to offer.

Want to meet other Jewish single professionals? This is the event for you!

Keep an eye on our calendar - every now and then we run separate events for gay and lesbian singles, and all the ones we've had have been great fun!

Been interested in trying speed-dating, but always felt a little apprehensive about it? Or has it been a while since you were out there on the dating scene? This event is being set up specifically for you. Our hosts will be our most experienced and friendly, and they'll take care to explain everything to you and make sure you feel well looked after.

As requested, we're introducing a speed-dating evening for taller men and women. At this event, we ask that the men be 5.11"+, and the women 5.8"+. We apologize in advance if our hosts don't meet these guidelines!

City dating is anything but stereotypical, and we've been asked for this theme by both men and women. If you're a guy who would like to date someone a little older than yourself (and let's face it, the city is full of incredibly attractive women who may be older than you), then this is the event for you. And if you're a woman who feels that men in your age range aren't anywhere close to being as energetic and young as you feel, then join us at this relaxed and fun event!

We're not just going to offer speed-dating - we'll be running happy hour singles events at some of Chicago's best bars! So if you like the idea of meeting new people, but would prefer less of a structure to your mingling, then look out for our non-speed-dating singles' events throughout the city.
