Hey Chicagoland Singles!
(To see the entire list of events, PLEASE CLICK HERE)
The last week of April is here and we have a good lineup of events as usual. And the best part is you don’t need to bring your jacket and gloves anymore 🤞.
To try to keep the same-level of anticipation energy I brought last week, I am hyping up this week’s events too because, they deserve it.
IYKYK Christian Speed dating is making it’s Chicagoland debut (Welcome). We have Media Naranja is back at it again this week. Popular organizers such as Thursday Dating, Meet IRL, Shuffle, Jigsaw, Ivy Dating, Hot Potato Hearts, Chicago First Dates, CitySwoon, MyCheekyDate, Break the Ice, Intelligent Singles Network and Throwback Dating all have events this week as well. We also have a lot of newcomers in the group like Birds of a Feather, HinduVivah, Matchify, Eli Tea Bar, and more (Welcome to ya’ll as well).
Many of these organizers have begun adding events that are catering to diverse interests. So I’m telling you….expect an event that matches your vibe.
With that being said, let’s jump into this week’s events!
