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

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

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

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. But once we get in the rehearsal room, it’s always a Total BLAST. Last week we worked on remounting the show and adding a few new people into the mix.

It’s a Typical Meow Monday here where I’ve been playing with my KITTIES! Meowing, Pranci

“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Ah, William Shakespeare…Would it? WOULD IT? Because in the year 2016 where people meet online BEFORE they meet in person, a profile name could be Killer (as in awesome, “I’m in mad mental lust with this person already”) or KILL (as in send your potential soul mate racing to block your profile forever. Done. Dead. OVER.). In the online dating experiment we did for Undateable & #DateMe: An OkCupid Experiment
