14 DAY TRIAL // Have you ever been on a blind date? If not, read this and let me know if you intend to try it. If the answer is yes, this service is exactly what you need. Crazy Blind Date is a service that tries to do exactly what its name says: to set up blind dates with the people in your area. Here's how it works: you're required to create an account on its official website, enter your details including location and the day of the week when you can go out and wait for the service to do its job. After a matching partner is discovered, the technology sets up a blind date depending on the free time you mentioned. How awesome is that? The only problem would be that you don't have a clue about how your partner looks like, which in some cases might be a problem.
After the date is set up, Crazy Blind Date notifies you using a SMS message and asks you to confirm. If there's no problem with the date, you can contact your partner with 30 minutes before the date using a special ID provided by the service, keeping your phone number private. According to Mark Hendrickson from TechCrunch, Crazy Blind Date even chooses bars and cafes for you, "so you won't find yourself in any particularly dangerous situations."
"A date request is not a commitment. If we find someone for you, we'll show you a brief summary and a super blurry picture. At that point you have to say yes or no. A yes is binding," the FAQ of the service reads.
"Maybe you'll make great friends! You only have an obligation of 20 minutes, so get to know them. Plus, after each date we get feedback about personality and attractiveness. What they have to say about you determines a lot about your next date. Our matching system isn't public, but in case this isn't obvious: if someone says you're extremely nice and attractive, it does wonders for getting you assigned to other nice and attractive people," it is added.
The interesting aspect of the service is the rating system which allows you rate the partners met (or not) by you. Supposing the girl who was supposed to go out on a date with you didn't show up, you can easily go over to Crazy Blind Date and report the user. So, have fun and good luck! Who knows, maybe you'll find your next girlfriend on this website...
