Rec. #767: The Guardian's "Blind Date" Series




What: Blind Date has been a regular feature in The Guardian for years, and it is *fascinating*. Every week, the paper matches two readers up and pays for their dinner together.

The blind daters report back via a questionnaire that touches on awkward moments, expectations, and whether they'd introduce their date to their friends. They also each rate the date on a scale of 1-10.

Common themes: Restaurants seating the dates at separate tables, plate sharing, people describing their own friends as "vicious" 

How to get it: You can dive into more than 500 blind date stories in the Guardian's online archive.
