Speed Dating & Singles Events in Chicago
Tired of swiping? PJmatch connects you with real Chicago singles online first — then brings everyone together at local events, speed dating nights, and meetups across the city.
More Ways to Meet Than Another Dating App
Chicago has plenty of singles nights — the hard part is knowing who's actually worth your evening. On PJmatch you meet people online first, then take it offline.
Speed Dating Nights
Fast, fun rounds of mini-dates so you can meet a dozen Chicago singles in one evening — no awkward small talk with the wrong crowd.
Coffee Meetups
Low-pressure daytime hangouts at local cafés. Perfect if you prefer a real conversation over a loud bar.
Group Socials
Mixers and themed socials where members meet as a group first, so first dates feel like seeing a friend again.
Member-Hosted Events
Members can create and RSVP to their own events — from game nights to lakefront walks — all inside PJmatch.
How It Works
From first message to first handshake in three steps.
