If you do a date-like activity, then yes I’d consider it a date.

[The Dissenter]

Yes it’s a date. No way in hell would I ever do one again though.

[Debsi]

The answer’s in the question.

[Reactionary]

Yes. I've had some great blind dates, but more bad ones. I don't want to do it again.

The intent of a blind date is the same as a “normal” date, so yes.

With technology today, there is no reason to have blind dates. You can send each other pictures in 2 seconds.

I don't think the term "blind date" literally means you have never seen their image. It's just a set up with someone you don't know.

[JerZ]

A date is a date.

Sounds terrifying to me.


But if it's through mutual friends who really know the two of you, then it might work.
