Crazy Blind Date

A few months ago I discovered a website called Crazy blind Date.  Can't remember where I heard about it, but it sounded "safe" enough so I created a profile on there.  Basically you enter very generic information about yourself ( Name, age, height, body size, race, religion, education).  The way it works is they pair you off with someone based on your availability.  For example, If I wanted to go get a drink and was free sometime between 7 and 10 pm, they match you with someone who was also available during those hours on that particular day...got it?  So once a "match" has been made, they email or text you letting you know and you have 1 hour to decide.  Once you accept, there's no turning back.  They frown upon no-shows and cancellations.  So then they send you a list of pre-selected places to choose from based on the different neighborhoods of your own choosing.  Once you both agree to meet there your all set.  You have no idea what your date looks like,  if they're dorky, or psycho...No you just show up and wait and see what you got.  The website does however, let you communicate through their own texting system on your phone to exchange messages like " I'll wait at the bar and I'm wearing a ruffled purple shirt and ski boots".  True story...Tell you more about THAT one later on.  Anyway, its a cool and interesting way to meet new people and well hey you never know!
