"What were you hoping for? In an ideal world, my last first date. Failing that, an entertaining voice note for my pals. First impressions? Handsome, friendly and immediately put me at ease. You know you're off to a good start when a blind date begins with a hug. What did you talk about? All the topics you're supposed to avoid on a first date: religion, politics and money."
"Q&AShow Blind date is Saturday's dating column: every week, two strangers are paired up for dinner and drinks, and then spill the beans to us, answering a set of questions. This runs, with a photograph we take of each dater before the date, in Saturday magazine (in the UK) and online at theguardian.com every Saturday. It's been running since 2009 you can read all about how we put it together here."
"What questions will I be asked? We ask about age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests and the type of person you are looking to meet. If you do not think these questions cover everything you would like to know, tell us what's on your mind. Can I choose who I match with? No, it's a blind date! But we do ask you a bit about your interests, preferences, etc the more you tell us, the better the match is likely to be."
Blind Date pairs two strangers for dinner and drinks every Saturday in print and online, followed by a shared Q&A about the experience. Photographs of each dater are taken before the date and are published alongside the Q&A. Applicants provide first name, job, age and answers about age, location, occupation, hobbies and the type of person they seek. Matches are made blind using applicants' interests and preferences, and photographs are selected by the team. Answers may be edited for length and clarity and applicants are asked to respond honestly but respectfully. The feature has run since 2009.
