Dating doesn’t have to suck.

Our support group helps you find the fun!

Tired of navigating the dating scene?

Over the apps but don’t know how to find real connection?

Seems like dating is confusing and exhausting?

Join our Dating Survival School - A group of queer folks learning together how to work through the trials and tribulations of dating!

Our Dating Survival School helps you build community as well as building skills.

By sharing and processing the things that happen in our dating experiences, we can:

  • Learn new strategies to find positive dates.

  • Develop a stronger sense of self esteem.

  • Feel supported by people who are going through the same thing.

What to expect:

  • Each group session lasts one hour and is limited to no more than 15 attendees.

  • You’ll get access to special education materials so you can continue your growth outside of the session.

  • Attendees are all aged 20+ and all sexuality and gender expressions are welcome, however the focus is on interacting with the gay dating scene.

  • Kink/fetish and poly folks are especially welcome.

  • Sessions are held in person at the Leather Archives and Museum, 6418 N Greenview Ave, Chicago, IL 60626. This location is accessible only via stairs.

  • Each session is $30, payable at the time of booking. Limited sliding scale options are available for those whom the cost is prohibitive. If this applies to you, schedule a short consultation with us to discuss your circumstances.

  • Your ticket for the event includes a free 30-day membership to the Leather Archives and Museum, to enable you to explore the exhibits and galleries as much as you like following the event.

  • You control how much you share, but collaboration is encouraged and folks find most benefit when they actively engage.

  • Sharing in a group can be challenging, especially if you don’t know others, so we’ll have tools to support you in growing confidence.
