I recently read an article on veg speed dating in San Francisco. Would anyone be interested in this in Chicago? Would it need to be all vegans?

I'd think most people interested in that are folks having trouble finding vegan dates. At the very least, dietary preference should be clearly denoted for each person beforehand.

I bet if this were publicized well it would have a good turnout.

I think this is a great idea - it would be even better if we could manage to have one in the city and another in the suburbs. :)

Thanks for your responses, ladies! Now I'm wondering if any men would be interested!

If you do not know, ChicagoVeg offer series events that called "ChicagoVeg Singles". We plan our next event in September. Parag is the lead organizer for these events. I will forward this discussion to him to see if it would be an option to do speed dating event too. If you have some specific suggestions please send him message directly at http://www.chicagoveg...

Stay tuned for our upcoming 'salsa for singles' event in September and maybe a speed dating event sometime thereafter.

Second what siri says. I attended the last chicagoveg singles event--it was an improv class, and tremendous fun! Very well run, and i met a lot of cool people, good male/female ratio.

Christine -

Do you think that speed dating will be more attractive than some event like David just mentioned about (http://www.chicagoveg...) where we had a really good mix of the people with a lot of fun interactions?

Would you be interested to organize a single's event?

Hi Vadim,

I'm considering hosting a veg speed dating event through It's Easy Being Vegan. I will post more information as it becomes available.

Great idea, it is EXTREMELY difficult to date as a vegan........I have nothing against non-vegans but it is very refreshing to meet and date a dude who understands what bing a vegan is about.

If you need ANY help in planning, I would be happy to plan.
