Dating in Chicago
Why dating in Chicago gets harder after October

The method
How Jared Laurence coaches men in Chicago
Phone and video coaching that keeps working through a Chicago winter, plus in-person bootcamps in the city.
Meet her
Chicago runs on neighborhood spots and regular routines. You learn to talk to women at the gym, the coffee shop and the bar you already go to.
Build attraction
Chicago women are down to earth and can tell when you’re putting on a show. Jared teaches you to be playful and direct without trying too hard.
Texting and dates
Get the number, make a plan within a day or two, and pick a place close to her stop so weather never cancels the date.
Keep her
Winter is when a lot of new couples stall out. You learn to keep things fun and moving when everyone wants to stay in.
Where to meet women
Where to meet women in Chicago
Chicago is friendly once you start talking. These places make that first conversation easy.
The Lakefront Trail in summer
Runners, bikers and people out on the grass from Oak Street to Montrose. Summer is when the whole city is outside, so use it.
Neighborhood street festivals
Almost every weekend from June to September there’s a fest somewhere. Everyone is relaxed and open to talking.
Coffee shops in winter
When it’s ten degrees out, people camp in coffee shops for hours. You learn to start a conversation without it feeling forced.
First date ideas
First date spots in Chicago that work
Pick a spot near the L so getting there is easy, and have a warm second stop ready in winter.
Wicker Park
Bookstores, coffee and small bars on Milwaukee Avenue. Easy to keep the date moving.
Lincoln Park
The zoo, the lakefront and neighborhood restaurants. Great for a daytime date.
River North
Polished cocktail bars and restaurants. Good when you want the date to feel like an event.
Logan Square
Craft cocktail bars and the boulevard for a walk. Relaxed with good energy.
Avoid these
Mistakes guys in Chicago make
These are the habits that keep good guys in Chicago single.
Hibernating all winter
Five months off from meeting women puts you back at zero every spring. Keep a small habit going through the cold.
Only dating inside your circle
Your friends’ friends run out fast. Meeting women on your own gives you far more options.
Playing it too safe
Being the nice, polite guy feels safe and gets you friend zoned. Show interest clearly and early.
