Wouldn't it be nice if dating was actually fun and easy?
"Trying to get to know someone is more exhausting than it's worth."
"Doesn't anyone want an actual relationship anymore?"
Meeting New People Could be Exciting!
What if the dating pool was already full of people worth your time? The kind that show up, want what you want, and actually know how to be in a relationship.
What if you could tell — early, clearly, and honestly — whether someone was genuinely into you, or just into the idea of you? And whether you were genuinely into them!
What if you could see a connection clearly enough, soon enough, to stop heartbreak before it starts? No more wondering if you're being breadcrumbed, ghosted, or quietly downgraded to a situationship.
Maybe you're feeling burnt out on love. But maybe you're actually just burnt out on the process.
You've been through enough to know what you don't want.
But somewhere underneath all of it, the hope is still there.
You just want it to be simpler, more enjoyable, and honestly, a little more efficient.

How It Works
What's Inside the Course?
More than just an emotional intelligence course, this teaches you new tools, frameworks, and language to actually communicate about this stuff with all the other singles in your future dating pool. A self-guided course, about 4 hours — on your phone or your computer.
Being your favorite version of yourself
Learn how you naturally think, feel, and show up as your most authentic and passionate Self, and build your entire approach to dating from that place
Take a deep dive into trust
Why it's so hard to build, what it actually means, how to cultivate it with others and in yourself, and how to work with your anxiety as you open up to someone new
Understand your brain on dating
A plain-language look into the science behind attraction, chemistry, and why you do what you do, redirecting old patterns to new, more genuine experiences
See other people more clearly
New frameworks for understanding situations and intentions with objectivity and discernment, so you know where your boundaries are and why they're there
Write your awesome label here.

What's the community like?
We call the SmartHearts online community The Hub. It's a conversation-oriented space, exclusively for Chicago singles who've done the work. No swiping, no scrolling through pictures — you find your people the way you always have: through genuine conversation.
No self sales pitch, no fake profiles
Just one simple pic, thoughtful posts and comments, interesting topics, and fun moderators! You'll find connections by what people say, not how they look.
Everyone here has passed the course
That means on your dates with other SmartHearts alumni, when things get real, you're talking to someone who actually cares, and knows how to talk it through with you.
Exclusive In-person events
As soon as doors open, we will begin hosting events where you can meet members in real life! This includes members-only themed events, as well as public events where you can test your SmartHearts knowledge with members, as well as not-yet-members out in the real world.
Getting access isn't instantaneous, and that's by design We're building a highly moderated, carefully gatekept space so the quality of the community stays exactly what it promises to be.
