Crazy Blind Date: Dating On the Spot
This is the third of our reviews on dating applications. For a quick primer on the common features of a web 2.0 dating application, please see our post, Dating and Web 2.0.
So a dating application is great for setting the mood, flirting over the web, and so on, but what do you do tonight? If you’re in one of the major US metros, Crazy Blind Date is an application that can put you into a date - that evening if you like.
Starting with the basics, where, when, and possible alternate dates, Crazy Blind Date can guide you into a solo, double, or even double blind date. Brought to you by the same team that created okcupid, Crazy Blind Date has a pool of people to draw from and an interesting method.
After you’ve entered the basics, they’ll verify your email and mobile number. When the right person comes up, they’ll send a brief profile along with a blurred picture. If both are willing, a meeting is arranged. To avoid mishaps users send a description of what they’re wearing, and if that doesn’t work, they open a line of communication through them to help you along.
The downside to the service is that there is very little information available on who you might be meeting, but since it is a blind date, this unique application is perfect for quick rendezvous and empty nights. To find this or other applications like it, there is the Listio search: dating.
