During the "Blind" date, one doesn't need to care about his or her
partner's appearance, and only makes judgments through conversations.

Young adults in Shanghai have started to try a new dating atmosphere:
They meet in a dark, wearing patches on their eyes.

Wang Weiming, secretary-general of China Match-making Service Industry
Committee, told the reporter that such activity still needed to be
studied as to whether it fitted domestic lovers.

During such activities, eyes are no longer needed. All participants
become "blind." "We intend to create an atmosphere, which to easily make
people fall in love," the sponsor Ms. Ouyang said.

She explained that naturally one could easily judge others solely by
their appearances. Young boys and girls who had never met before could
relax themselves in such a circumstance. "One doesn't need to care about
his or her partner's appearance, and only makes judgments through
conversations," she said.

To learn how many young adults can accept such activity? The reporter has
made an investigation on the Internet. The result shows that most young
people think it is interesting, but are unwilling to participate in it.

Ms. Li doubts she can find a person of her heart through it. Still, she
believes it would provide opportunities for less confident people. But
they and their partners still need to meet in a "bright room" one day,
says she, and by then both of them might probably feel disappointed with
each other.

Many girls also fear lest some hooligans take advantage of them in the
darkness.
