Spend your weekend mornings reading and sipping coffee at your favorite coffee shops, and strike up a conversation with the cutie next to you. Ask him about the book or newspaper he's reading, or what coffee he's drinking. You might find you have much more in common. The same goes for the guy next to you ordering the microbrew at the neighborhood pub. Ask him what his favorite band is or what he does for a living. Keep the small talk going, and you might find yourself in a summer fling.

Join intramural leagues. All across Chicago you can find kickball, softball, volleyball and soccer leagues. Join one of these leagues to meet people interested in the same types of activities you are. Refer to the Chicago Park District for teams in your neighborhood. If some of your friends are interested in creating a team, sign up together and make it a point to meet and greet the teams you play throughout the season. This may help you meet a nice guy for a fling, or maybe more.

Volunteer. Groups such as Single Volunteers of Chicago and Social and Service Chicago provide an outlet for young professionals in their 20s and 30s to meet and get to know each other while also serving their community. Find a fling on an outing to clean up Humboldt Park, or while you're cleaning the beach along the shore of Lake Michigan.
