Hey Chicagoland Singles!
To see the entire list of events, PLEASE CLICK HERE.
In five days, singles all over the world will let out a collective sigh—for being single.
In Chicagoland, we’re sighing for a different reason: deciding between attending Thursday Dating’s Valentine Social, Salsa for Singles at Jhoom Bar, Singles Bowling Mixer at Timber Lanes, Single N’ Minglin’s 4-year anniversary Valentine’s Day Speed Dating, or any of the other 25+ events on Valentine’s Day.
So many Valentine’s Day events = so many opportunities to find your boo.
Is it just me, or did we just collectively sigh over a good problem?
Rest of the world may not get it. Valentine’s Day is actually the best day of the year to be single. If I had to pick one day in the year that would be the equivalent of the super bowl for finding your boo, it would be Feb 14.
You have so many events leading up to it and on the day itself. And there’s a good chance your future boo will show up to one of these events this week. So why not say hello?
Let’s get into the week’s events!
P.S. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Single or not, you all are the best and I’m grateful for you to be a part of this community! ❤
