It's hard at times to meet people outside of work. It's also more fun to go to a bar when you know you're likely to actually meet someone that you'd like to get to know and have a real conversation with. So at least once a month we'll meet at a bar. We'll announce the meeting before hand (and warn the bar) so we "Flash" into the place around the same time and hang out. We may have some live band, dancing, and dining events too! Anyhow, if you are newly divorced, grew apart from friends, new in t …

Without the initial help & suggestions and input of the original members this group would not be what it is today. Many thanks should go to them and to Liz & Sheila who stayed focus o …

We make road trips, we try out new bars, bowling alleys, restaurants, festivals, etc. There are always tons …

So you're bored, I mean like really bored and you decided to sign up for meet up. There are some crazy folks out there and meeting them in private at a local spot still seems disheartening.

Maybe grab some last minute tickets to go see a-no-longer-in-his-prime-but-is-still-trying comedy show, a good laugh is alw …

It seems all the singles Meetup groups in the suburbs tend to consist mostly of fifty-somethings with a couple divorces under their belts and their kids married or off to college.  Leaving the younger crowd forced to head to Chicago for social activities with others in their age range.  Not that there's anything wrong with folks over a certain age, they're as active and vivacious as the rest of us.  Sometimes more-so.  We just want to hang with people of a similar age. There are a lot of young s …
