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.
But there is some Exciting Stuff Cooking for the Future of #DateMe. And I have to focus on that as we wind down the last weeks of our Chicago run.
Don’t worry. Our cast will still be performing in #DateMe at Up Comedy Club through August 19th.

And I will still be featuring YOU, our audience. It just might not be EVERY week.
Please stay tuned for exciting developments about the future of the show. I can’t say anything yet. But, when it happens, it will be exciting!
So, don’t think of it as me abandoning you.
Think of it as me planning an Extended Amazing Surprise Party that I just can’t tell you about yet.
Deal? Deal.
Share The Love
As I said in my last post, #DateMe has been showered with so much love the past several years.
And it’s time to give some of that love back in a weekly feature.
Meet Bryce & Richard
I mean, SERIOUSLY. Could they be more ADORABLE!
Follow them both on Instagram. You will not be disappointed!
And they were kind enough to bring some friends and give us this shoutout.
I mean. Not gonna lie. I had fun taking this pic! And everyone was so nice.
Thanks for coming to the show, guys!
Meet Eli Finkel
That’s Eli J. Finkel, Professor of Psychology in the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
You can read some of his articles here:
Fascinating stuff. Thanks for coming to the show, Eli!
And Now … YOU!!
Every week we feature our favorite moments from the previous week’s #DateMe audience.

Who knows. YOU might be featured!
6 Things You Can’t Live Without
One of the questions OkCupid asks their users is:
We recite several of these answers from user profiles Verbatim in #DateMe.
But then we want to hear from YOU.
We asked. You Tweeted.
Here Are This Week’s Favorites:
I don’t know if that’s Ranch dressing or an actual western style rodeo Ranch.
Either way I love it.
Haha. Cats Who Act Like Dogs. Like This?
A. Sir Mix-A-Lot Has More Songs Than ANYONE would Guess.
B. Love A Guy Who Can Unabashedly Rock some Crocs.
I REALLY Want Number 1 To Be Referring To Me.
“Could this be about me?!?!”
But Pretty Sure Ben Means Swedish Singer & Songwriter Robyn…
…who, incidentally, was born “Robin” but changed to “Robyn” with a “Y” because that’s the CORRECT way to spell it.
I Love When People Include Pics With Their 6 Things:
And What Is Up With This Girl?
Why Can’t She Live Without Abe Lincoln?!?!
And why is she wearing his hat?
This is cracking me and also making me SO confused.
I guess we’ll never know.
Profile Names
We ask our audience to create their own Profile Names.
This Week’s Favorite’s Are:
“Queenie Bitz”
I Love Joint Couple Names!
“I’m With This Guy” & “I’m With This Chick!”

Who Is Camel LARRY And Why Are You Marrying Him?
Another Mystery waiting to be solved.
