Are you tired of spending way too much of your free time in front of the TV or computer? Does your dog or cat have more of a social life than you? Well, if you're feeling like we are, let's try and remedy this. We're looking for women who want to develop some good, and hopefully long lasting friendships...women who enjoy dining out, seeing a movie, playing cards, traveling, or just sitting around with a pot of coffee and sharing themselves with each other. Men are great, and we love 'em, but not …

We decided to modify the group slightly and gather with people who like to cook and play musical instruments. Almost everyone likes live music and wants to learn to play instruments such as guitar, piano, or drums. Taking classes is a commitment not all of us can take on, but meeting with a group of friendly people for good food and music might be fun. If you would like to practice the instrument you are playing than this is a place for you. We are interested in: blues flamenco folk and popular …

Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) We schedule most of our meetups in Lake County, but since we've been getting more members from all over the place, we've been scheduling more meetups in Chicago, Cook County suburbs, and a few north of the border in Wisconsin, or a bit West in McHenry County, just to give you an idea of locations. For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a …

I started this group since I didn’t see a meetup group for single dads specifically. Dads need a group to provide support and make new friends. I know I do. Let’s make this a group that actually meets up. We can just meet up at a local bar, someone’s house, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe even plan an activity or two. I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

If you're more of an introvert, and also identify as LGBT, then maybe this is the group for you. This group has gone through some changes, so you w,ill see "old meetups/former members" still listed from last year when it was a different version. We hope to make this the last and final version of the group! The previous group we tried to create just didn't quite "fit" us, and we realized that we needed to gear this group more towards introverts, but LGBT introverts. Please keep in mind... This is …

Hi guys. This is a (newer) group which is meant to be a meeting group for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and comicbook fans, (of movies, books, artwork, etc) and creators in Lake County/McHenry Counties (for example, writers, artists, movie makers, etc, are welcome too!) since the only groups I've been able to find like that, all seem to be in Chicago. This group is going to work best for those with a more flexible weekend schedule since I plan on scheduling a meetup for this group on at least one Sat …

Hi ladies! I reside in the Lake County, IL. area, & have found that there are not many if any interesting groups on this site for those of us in the far north west suburbs. All the great groups of people appear to be located in Chicago! I myself did not wish to travel all the way to the Chicago land area on a weekly or monthly basis to meet new people, or to make a new friend, especially being that the individuals in the group that I had attended did not wish to do the same for me! NO bueno! Thu …

This group has merged with Gen X/Y Social between the cities - please join our group on that meetup site instead.  Thanks! I have found it difficult to meet young people in their 30s and 40s along the Illinois/Wisconsin border. It seems that most groups in this area are under 40 or over 50 and forgot about the awesome kids who grew up in the 80 and 90s listening to grunge and alternative. Whether single, divorced, newly separated, or in a relationship, we often don't have enough time to find pe …

Looking to meet new people in the gay community without having to go to the city? Look no further! This group will hopefully serve as an opportunity for those of us in the northern suburbs to make new friends and plan fun and unique social outings. It can be difficult finding other local LGBT folks when we're limited to the downtown scene. The lack of suburban venues for the gay community can often feel isolating, so let's change that! I welcome anyone to join this group, and I look forward to t …
