"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."
"What personal details will appear? Your first name, job and age. How should I answer? Honestly but respectfully. Be mindful of how it will read to your date, and that Blind date reaches a large audience, in print and online. Will I see the other person's answers? No. We may edit yours and theirs for a range of reasons, including length, and we may ask you for more details."
Blind Date pairs two strangers for dinner and drinks and publishes a post-date Q&A and photograph every Saturday in the print magazine and online. Participants answer set questions about age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests and the type of person they hope to meet. Applicants cannot choose their match or pick the photograph, and answers may be edited for length or clarity. Applicants are asked to answer honestly and respectfully and to provide sufficient detail to aid matching. The column has run since 2009 and accepts applicants across the UK, with many from London.
