Structure A blind date is arranged for by a mutual acquaintance of both participants. The two people who take part in the blind date may have never met or seen each other, hence the phrase "blind date". Therefore, it is the responsibility of the acquaintance who arranges the date to ensure that they are a good match. Sometimes one person is more interested in the match than the other, which may make it more difficult on the person arranging the date to judge whether the date will be successful.

The date is also very adventurous in the way that neither party knows wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
