Blind Date was a German pop music group formed in 1984, originally consisting of Uwe Schlürmann (vocals and guitar), Peter Koch (percussion), Matthias Baumgardt (guitar), James Michael Griffin (keyboard), Amy & Elaine Goff (vocals), Mark Oesterreich (guitar, bass and vocals), Roman Müllenbach (saxophone) and Bruce Kent (drums).
Their best known hit is probably their debut single Your Heart Keeps Burning which was a hit in Western Germany in 1985 and reached number 17 in the singles charts. In 1986 they recorded an extended version of Hit the Road Jack. The group disbanded soon thereafter.
A blind date is a social engagement between two people who have not previously met, usually arranged by a mutual acquaintance.
A blind date is arranged for by a mutual acquaintance of both participants, whether that person be a friend of both persons or a family member of one. The two persons who take part in the blind date have never met or seen each other, thus the name blind date. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the person who arranges the date to ensure that they are a good match. Sometimes one person is more interested in the match than the other, which may make it more difficult on the person arranging the date to judge whether the date will be successful.
The date is usually two hours or less, as it is just a first date and is really meant to introduce the two people more than it is meant to create a marriage. Furthermore, due to the unfamiliarity of the two people the date is shorter than most because they are in the beginning stages of a relationship. The date is also very adventurous in the way that neither party knows what to expect and whether or not they will hit it off. The location of the date is also affected by the spontaneity in that it is often a neutral and public place so that both parties feel comfortable.
A blind date is a courtship meeting between unacquainted persons.
