Or, in my Co-Dependent Case… Completely Paranoid And Worried That You Don’t Love Me Anymore!!! I mean, seriously: “Robyn! Where have you been? You disappeared for TWO Weeks!” I’m so sorry! If someone did that to me (And they HAVE. Multiple times.) … I would think something fishy was up. (And it WAS. Every time.) But, I SWEAR this is a different scenario. And I don’t want to do that to you! I Know I Haven’t Been Around As Much As I Used To. I like to be here for you EVERY WEEK

Ready For A Hot Summer Fling? ALL. SUMMER. LONG. That’s right.  #DateMe  has been extended through the summer. Sick of us yet? TOO BAD. Because we LOVE You. We’ve been running for TWO AND A HALF YEARS. Which is kind of mind-blowing. But we wouldn’t be here without the immense support of our audience members. 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

We Attract Bachelorettes. That’s a fact. I think at one #DateMe show last weekend we had EIGHT bachelorette parties. It goes with the territory when you do a dating show. If we were to create our own dating profile for our show  #DateMe  we could just put… “You Should Message Me If… You Are a Bachelorette Party.” …and then call it a day because we’d be considered a Match Success! Now, as a comedian and actor, news of a bachelorette party in the audience can lead to Eye Rolls

Okay. So maybe we’re not FASHION models. But someone drew an AMAZING pic of us last weekend! And that made us feel SUPER COOL. It was an eventful weekend at #DateMe & 1959 Kitchen & Bar .

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 .

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
