Blind dating的意思

"Blind dating" is a term used to describe a type of social arrangement where two people who have not met each other before are set up on a date by someone else, usually a mutual friend or acquaintance. The "blind" aspect of the date refers to the fact that the two people being set up typically have no prior knowledge about each other, aside from perhaps a basic description provided by the person who set them up.

Blind dates can be arranged through friends, family, or even through online dating services that specialize in setting up people who have not previously met. The idea behind blind dating is that it can be a fun and low-pressure way to meet new people and potentially find a romantic partner, as there is often less pressure or expectation than a traditional date where two people already know each other.

However, blind dates can also be unpredictable and sometimes awkward, as there is no way to know beforehand if the two people will have chemistry or if they will have anything in common. Despite this, blind dating remains a popular way for people to meet potential romantic partners, especially in cultures where arranged meetings are more common or where people may have limited opportunities to meet new people outside of their social or professional circles.
