FAQs
what is a blind date?
A blind date is where two people, that haven't met or seen each other before, meet for a date that has been arranged by someone else.
who is this for?
In our opinion, Blind Date is for single people who are looking for a different way to date from the apps. Blind Dating is not a new concept but it's not the norm in a world where appearance is everything. If you are confident in your own skin and tend not to judge on appearance, then this is for you.
How much is this going to cost me?
Nothing at the moment. Members who join in 2025 will have free lifetime membership and won't pay a penny, ever. In 2026, membership will be £9.99 per month and you can cancel any time. Register here.
What areas will you cover?
We cover the whole of the UK.
What ages do you include?
From 18 to 80! As long as you are over 18, we'll arrange a blind date for you.
Do I get to see my date before I meet them?
No, you won't. It's a blind date.
Will I know anything about them?
Yes, you will know their first name along with a little background.
How am I matched?
You will be matched by the questions you answer when you register.
where will we meet?
You will meet in a mutually appealing, public place of your choice, just like any other date.
How will i recognise my date?
You will agree on how to recognise each other before the date.
what if they don't turn up?
Just like any other date, this is a chance you take. However, we have a strike system that you can ask to see before you meet the person.
why aren't you on much social media?
Being on Social Media would involve people potentially exchanging pictures before dates. That's not the idea. We do have an instagram account for you to follow for events - Blind Date
HOw will you know when I'm available?
We will send you an email at the beginning of every week and ask when you are available.
Do you do background checks?
No, we don't do any checks but we do ask to see some form of ID.
do you give out my details to other members?
No, never. It is up to you to share your details on your date if you want to.
Do you allow married people to join?
No. This is not for married people. If we find out that a person is married or in a relationship, their membership will be terminated without a refund.
Do you set up dates for all sexual orientations and gender identities?
At the moment, we are only setting up blind dates for heterosexual men and women. We will expand when our database grows.
Do you have events?
Where requested, we have 'pre date blind date' evenings. See Eventbrite for further details.

Yes indeed. Please contact mydate@blind-date.co.uk we'll be happy to answer your query .
