Blind date
From Free net encyclopedia
- This is about a type of dating. For other uses, see Blind date (disambiguation).
A blind date is a date between two people who have never met and typically know little or nothing about each other. Blind dates are generally arranged by a third party, usually a friend of one or both daters, either to bring together people the third party thinks might be compatible, but who might otherwise never meet, or because one or both of the daters has specifically expressed an interest in a blind date. Alternatively the match may have been made by a dating system.
Blind dates have become very famous after the rise of the Internet, when people who have met in chatrooms or fora finally agree to meet in person.
