Blind date: Most awkward moment? When he said his dad set up the date for him'

Two strangers are paired for dinner and drinks for a blind date, then answer a set of questions that are published in Saturday magazine in the UK and online at theguardian.com every Saturday. The feature has run since 2009 and includes a photograph taken of each dater before the date. Questions cover age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests, and the type of person sought, and additional details can be provided. Personal details published include first name, job, and age, and answers may be edited for length or other reasons. Viewers do not see the other person’s answers, and matching is improved by sharing preferences; dates are only in the UK for home-town requests.
