Chioba is a free dating website that is a bit different from traditional dating websites:

• Chioba is only for people who live in the Chicagoland area.
• Profiles only last for 90 days, then they are automatically deleted. This keeps the site fresh with actual members who are really looking to meet other people.
• We have a live member chat room if you want to talk to other members live.
