Questions and Answers:
Are you interested in going on a blind date?
Blind date is a dating column published every Saturday in the UK’s Saturday magazine and online at theguardian.com. It features two strangers who are set up for dinner and drinks. Afterward, they answer a set of questions to spill the beans about their experience. This column has been running since 2009 and includes a photograph of each dater before the date. If you’re interested, you can find more information on how we put it together.
What kind of questions will I be asked?
We will ask about your age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests, and the type of person you are looking to meet. If these questions don’t cover everything you want to know, feel free to share what’s on your mind.
Can I choose my match?
No, it’s a blind date. However, we do ask for information about your interests and preferences to ensure a better match.
Can I choose the photograph?
No, don’t worry! We will select the best and most appealing photographs.
What personal details will be shared?
Only your first name, job, and age will be shared.
How should I answer the questions?
Be honest and respectful. Keep in mind that your answers will be read by your date and by a large audience in print and online.
Will I see the answers of the other person?
No, you won’t. We may edit both your answers and your date’s answers for various reasons, including length, and might request additional details.
Will you help me find “the one”?
