Question and answer
Fake a blind date?
Display
The date of the blind is the dating column on Saturday: every week, two strangers are paired for dinner and drinks, then the beans leakage to us, and answer a set of questions. This works, with a picture we take from each clown before the date, in the Saturday magazine (in the United Kingdom) and online Theguardian.com Every Saturday. It has been operated since 2009 – you can Read everything about how we put together here.
What questions will I ask?
We ask about age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests, and the type of the person you look forward to meeting. If you do not think that these questions cover everything you want to know, tell us what is going on in your mind.
Can I choose who I match with?
No, it is a blind history! But we ask you a little about your interests, preferences, etc. – the more you tell us, the better the match.
Can I choose the image?
No, but don’t worry: we will choose the most beautiful.
What are the personal details that will appear?
Your first name, your job and age.
How should I answer?
Frankly, but with respect. Be aware of how to read your history, and the blindness of the blind up to a large audience in printing and online.
Will I see the answers of the other person?
No, we may edit you and their effects for a set of reasons, including length, and we may ask you more details.
Will you find me one?
We will try! marriage! children!
Can I do that in my city?
Only if it is in the United Kingdom. Many of our applicants live in London, but we love to hear from people living elsewhere.
