blind date

A blind date refers to a social arrangement in which two people who have never met before are set up to meet each other for a romantic or potential romantic encounter. The term "blind" refers to the fact that the individuals involved have little or no prior knowledge about each other, typically relying on a mutual acquaintance, a friend, or a dating agency to arrange the meeting. It involves taking a chance on getting to know someone new without any prior communication or information about their appearance, personality, interests, or compatibility.
