Meet IRL | Curated Speed Dating | Ages 26-34 | Wicker Park

Meeting new people can be hard - join us for curated speed dating where we match you with the most compatible people in the room!

Looking to meet someone great in person? Our curated speed dating events bring together compatible singles in a fun, low-pressure setting designed to spark real connections.

This specific event is for our community of folks ages 26-34 that are interested in male/female dating. Check out our other upcoming events if this one isn't for you!

How it works:

• Purchase your ticket based on your age and gender—you'll tell us who you're hoping to meet later.
• After checkout, check your confirmation email for a link to set up your profile in our Meet IRL app.
• In the app, you'll answer a few quick questions to help us match you with the most compatible people in the room!

What to expect:

• We’re a small, local business and care deeply about creating high-quality, welcoming events. We’ll be there throughout the night to facilitate, answer questions, and make sure you have a great experience.
• Arrive between 6:30–6:45pm to check in, grab a drink, and mingle.
• Speed dating rounds start promptly at 6:45pm. The timing of this event is important, so please arrive no later than 6:45pm.

• You’ll rotate through about 8–10 one-on-one “mini dates” at different tables. Think of each round as a vibe check—short, intentional conversations with optional prompts to keep things flowing.
• We’ll wrap up the structured rounds around 8:30pm, but we encourage you to stick around, grab a drink, and continue your conversations at the bar!
• After the event, you’ll be connected with mutual matches so you can continue to build on the initial spark!

Introducing Eligible In 🫶

Our Curated Speed Dating Winter Series is sponsored by Eligible In! Eligible in is a new Chicago-based dating newsletter and podcast that highlights amazing local singles who are seeking something meaningful. Just like us, they believe real connection starts with actually getting to know someone — not swiping on strangers based on a few random prompts. If you’re ready to put yourself out there and show other Chicago singles what you’re all about (or have a great single friend you’d like to nominate), click here! You can also sign up for their newsletter for subscriber-exclusive features or give the podcast a listen here.
