Chicago Secret Singles Social – A Fun Alternative To Speed Dating
July 28, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
* THIS IS A PRE-PAY ONLY EVENT. YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO SIGN UP AT THE VENUE *
WHAT IS SECRET SINGLES SOCIAL?
Secret Singles Social is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people meet people in Chicago. Have you ever been at a bar or lounge, looked around and wondered, “Who is single in here?”. This event was born when the founder of the company found himself sitting at a bar and wondering exactly that. He then thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to know who was single?”. The light bulb went off and he created the Secret Singles Social Event…
********************************************************
WE DO DIFFERENT AGE RANGES FOR EACH SECRET SINGLES SOCIAL EVENT SO CHECK THE CALENDAR BELOW FOR EVENT DATES AND AGE RANGES:
EVENT CALENDAR:
FRIDAY JULY 28th – AGES 30s & 40s
AUGUST 25th – Ages 25 to 39
********************************************************
SECRET LOCATION & SECRET SYMBOL:
Each Secret Singles Social Event is held at a different secret location in Chicago. We always choose quality bars in good/popular locations.
We choose venues in popular neighborhoods like Wicker Park/River North/Logan Square/Gold Coast.
After signing up you will get an email from us with the location of the event. In that email we’ll also give you a secret symbol that will let the other attendees know you’re part of the event. You will draw that secret symbol on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event (for those who don’t want to write on their hand you can simply make a bracelet out of a piece of paper, tape it around your wrist and draw the symbol on the piece of paper). See the image at the bottom of this page to understand what we mean.
Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. There are no name tags, no host and no awkward check-in process. This means that only you and the other attendees will even know that you’re at a singles event! (The venue is not directly involved with the event so please don’t ask their staff questions as they likely won’t have answers)…
This event is not a structured or overly organized event. Feel free to come with a friend/s as well. We’d say about 75% of the crowd comes on their own.
You’ll simply look for other people with the secret symbol on their hand to know they’re also single and part of the event.
ICEBREAKERS TO WIN A $50 AMAZON GIFT CARD!
Before the event we’ll also email you icebreaker questions that you can use to get to know the rest of the singles at the event. The icebreakers are optional but most people love them because they really help you get to know people and gauge compatibility. In the email we send you before the event we’ll explain exactly how the icebreaker works but essentially you’ll be asking and/or being asked 3 icebreaker questions. If you complete the icebreaker you’ll be entered into a raffle and one of the event attendees will win a $50 Amazon gift card!
EXAMPLES OF SOME OF OUR FUN ICEBREAKER QUESTIONS:
* If you had a time machine – where would you take it to? Would you stay there?
* Do you usually follow your heart or your head?
* Would you rather live for one year on an island by yourself or for one year in a small apartment with 7 strangers?
* What is one thing you’ve always wanted to cross off your bucket list, but haven’t yet?
