What we’re about
Whats up NWI and South Suburbs?! Are you ready for some fun events in the region!?
Here's an opportunity for meeting new people and connecting with old friends for some!
We strive to have non-intimidating, comfortable social events after work and on the weekends.
So, why spend the weekend sitting at home alone when you could be hanging out with a bunch of fun loving singles & couples from the area?
You may have noticed our name change and new direction for our group. While we have always been open to singles, couples, those dating, its now more clearly stated. Since many of us over the years have formed friendships, relationships (dating and otherwise) and even gotten married, it seems the name "SINGLES" was a bit misaligned with who we are today as a group. So therefore, we have broadened our description and are revising our alignment.
Who is this group for? ANY singles, couples, any adults, any lifestyle, ethic or religious background. Married, divorced, separated, etc. ALL are welcome!
Who do we not welcome:
- Men hitting on women through private PMs in the group, Disrespectful, rude behavior is not tolerated. Trolling women in PM's and generally being "creepy".
- We are not Match.com. Anyone being offensive on private messages will be removed. Keep in mind that lots of the women on this site are not looking for someone to date. They might already have someone special in their life.
- If you want to meet someone to date in this group who isn't attached, please do it in person, not in private messages. If you have met someone in person and want to continue the conversation, private messages are great for that!
- Kids (note that picnics and private events we usually include kids but most events are ADULT ONLY)
That being said, our ages range quite a bit and most age groups are welcome. Our average ages of members are 40's - 60's though. If you are in your twenties or thirties, we might be too "mature" for your tastes. If you're age seventies and beyond, you might not be "in pace" with us. Or you might. It just depends on the person.
Join us for our next meetup! We would love to meet you!

A few rules and comments:
- If you have not uploaded a picture of yourself yet, we highly recommend this. We need to know who to look for at the meetups and it helps us to remember your name.
- If you join this group and do not attend meetups for a very long period of time (like a year or more) or continue to RSVP and do not cancel and do not show up, you will eventually be removed. Its OK to change your mind and UN-RSVP before the meetup at any time. People who continue to "No Show" regularly though, will eventually be removed. Please be accountable to the events that you say that you will attend (especially those that require reservations).
- If you don't log onto the meetup site at least once in 10 months or more, you're probably going to be removed. Please don't get your panties in a bunch over it. We're just cleaning house. No hard feelings. Rejoin at ANY TIME! We would love to have you back! There is no point in wasting your time or ours if you're not into the group though.
- If you joined this group without using your real first name, you will be removed. You do not have to include your last name in your profile but no "nicknames" or made-up names please.
If we are not doing the kinds of meetups you would like to see, please suggest meetups! Volunteer to lead meetups as well! We are open to many new ideas. Members will have the opportunity to sign up for these meetups. **VOLUNTEERS ARE IMPORTANT!** We need you to step up and help! There is no way that we can do it all. Start a discussion today and get people motivated about your ideas!
- Please see other group rules on the discussion board. If you have concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are very understanding with privacy concerns.
