What we’re about

This meetup group is designed for singles in Chicago who are frustrated with dating apps, tired of paying for subscriptions, overpaying for dates that go nowhere, or dealing with ghosting and catfishing. REVIVAL gatherings offer a chance to meet real people in real time—no fees, no gimmicks, and no networking games. Just genuine connections with real people.

We developed this concept in response to the growing frustration people have with the modern dating and relationship building scene. Dating and connection apps aren’t as effective as they once were, and many people aren’t interested in meeting others at clubs, bars, or gyms. This event offers a refreshing alternative—an opportunity to connect with real people in a relaxed, authentic environment.
