Blind Date is a Saturday dating column. Every week, two strangers pair up for dinner and drinks, then spill the beans to us while answering a series of questions. It takes photos of each date before their date and is published every Saturday in Saturday Magazine (UK) and online at theguardian.com. This has been running since 2009. You can read all about how we put it together here.
