Whats up NWI and South Suburbs?! We are a non-traditional Singles meetup group for people in their 30's through 50's. Unlike other social groups or organizations, we "do not" charge any annual membership fees or dues! When we do charge minimal organizational fees, they are based on the individual event, and cover any out-of-pocket costs that we incur with the event and/or commitment fees that we pay to the venue in advance of the event. If you've already tried internet dating and perhaps other m …

If you are young, mid age, old, live together or married, it doesn't matter! "Couples" is about any twosomes who would like to join others for dinner, walking, biking and any social activities that we all share with light conversation and meeting and enjoying new friends. Let's face it there are times when you enjoy doing things with other couples as wel …

Let's get together! Since lots of mom work during the week it's hard to meet up for weekday playdates. I wanted to form a group which would primarily host weekend playdates (with mom or dad or both), and the occasional mom's night out. Welcoming all moms, dads & babies for fun activites and making new friends!

… Our aim is to create genuine community where women can connect and feel safe, have avenues of support, professional networking,  friendships, and potential dating. The only way to do this is through attendance and contributions of the members.   Can't wait to see you! 

This is a group put together for women in or near NW Indiana who take on the daily joys and challenges of being a working mother.

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 …

As a stay-at-home dad (with a 10 month old) who is new the suburbs I wanted to start a group to meet other parents and kids in the neighborhood. I'd love to plan fun outings to the park, the library, the pool, etc. as well as casual play dates at home. I'm excited to meet other parents who are going a little stir crazy staying at home all day.
