I'm attempting to do different things this year (so cliched, no?), and I started off by going on a crazyblinddate.

For those of you not familiar with this concept, Crazy Blind Date is a website developed by the creators of OKCupid. You sign up, put in a few sparse details about yourself and what you like in your date, pop in your available days, times, and locations, and sit back. The system matches you up with someone, and then the haggling is done by means of texts, e-mails, and logging into the website. You also can't talk to your "date" beforehand, and you aren't able to see his/her photo either.

My friend Jersey and I went on a double date with Challah & Frites. Challah sucked since he didn't even show up to the bar. Frites did, and while he was pleasant enough to chat with, he smelled as though the concept of soap were foreign and puzzling to him. It was rough. Drinking a potent beverage helped. Jersey sent Frites a message about his Pig Pen-ness. He had sent me a friendly message, but I never responded. And that was that.

Crazy Blind Date is very random, and it seems to have a lot of flakes. At least later you can go and review your people. And there's no commitment, and you don't build up folks in your mind. Plus, it's free, but you get what you pay for.

We liked reading this date gone wrong and having a laugh.
