For many, bachelor parties serve as an opportunity for a group of friends to experience one last hurrah together.

Robbie Chernow expected to do just that and have a weekend full of fun to celebrate his friend Jake's bachelor party in Chicago.

That all changed when the 28-year-old arrived in the windy city on Thursday from New York City on a JetBlue flight.

His unlucky group of friends had their Delta flights canceled to Chicago from the big apple, which left Chernow completely alone in the windy city.

Robbie Chernow was expecting to enjoy a bachelor party trip to Chicago with his friends until their flights were canceled and he was completely alone in the city. Above he smiles while holding a Chicago Bears game ticket

Chernow decided to create the hashtag, 'ChicagoForOne,' in an effort to detail his journey and experiences in the city on Instagram since he decided to stick with the scheduled plan of events.

With almost every photo he posted on Instagram at the various stops he made, Chernow appears to look pretty sad.

The Pennsylvania native kicked off the trip by going solo to enjoy a preseason Chicago Bears game.

He also took in a boat cruise, a spin on a carousel, visited the world famous bean and met a ton of strangers who took pity upon his sad situation.

Chernow, who is a member of The People’s Improv Theater, even turned to the notorious dating website Tinder, in hopes to meet a friend to enjoy the city with.

More importantly, he explained that he was not trying to use Tinder for sexual purpose, just simply 'looking for a friend.'

Chernow took a screen grab of a message he received from one user on Tinder who inquired with him about his skill level in bed and shared it on Instagram saying 'it got weird real quick.'

One of the brown-haired gents' friends felt so bad for him, that he created a GoFundMe page to help lift his spirits.

'I'd like to thank everyone for their unwavering support in my time of loneliness,' he wrote in the photo's caption.
