AND  so many people who have given positive write-ups and features. Meet The Windy City Bloggers Last summer, before I started DateMe Diaries , I wanted to do my research

It’s Been A Busy Couple Weeks at #DateMe! Not only did we have our shows as usual. We had Tons of great Audience submissions via Social Media .

Every week we feature our favorite moments from the previous week’s  #DateMe  audience, posing the question,  “Would YOU Date Our Audience?” We’re pretty sure the answer is Y

OkCupid asks their users to fill out several questions on their dating profiles. We recite several of these answers from user profiles Verbatim in  #DateMe . One of our favorites that we use in the show is: What Are The Six Things You Can’t Live Without? Seems like a simple question. But this can reveal A LOT about someone’s personality: Are you going to put your best  foot forward? Make a joke? Take it too seriously? Be too literal? Speaking of being TOO LITERAL, since we w

Every week we celebrate our #DateMe  Audience Members here on DateMe Diaries . But this week we’re going to let you in on a little SECRET . We Can SEE You!

It was a Love Fest this weekend at #DateMe: An OkCupid Experiment!

Ever Wonder What Goes On Behind The Scenes When Remounting a Show? It takes a ton of rehearsal time and behind the scenes logistics to make #DateMe: An OkCupid Experiment  come to life.
