Dating Rubik’s Cube pretty much encapsulates everything that is good and bad about the dating scene in Chicago, and it does so with a surprising amount of honesty.  It’s also one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time. – audience member

The Discussion

Do you feel like you have good dates but that they could be better? Not currently dating at all?  Looking for ways to meet people that don’t involve a bar or a computer?  Do your budding relationships sometimes go awry without you understanding why? Would you like to learn techniques to make dating easier and more successful? Do you have stories to share?  Do you want to hear others’ experiences?

60-minute post-film discussion will offer practical techniques to help folk date smarter with more enjoyment and success.  You will learn 7 key principles to help understand how to find, build and maintain stronger dating relationships.  You will leave the discussion with increased knowledge about your own self as well as what you are looking for in a relationship. Gain a clearer vision of how to take steps to find that relationship you desire.

Imagine all this taking place amongst couches,

laughter, wine, cookies, and strangers in slippers…
