blind date

I hadn't quite gotten to the subject of who the blind date should be when he cut me off.

“I count my blessings that I accepted a blind date with her 38 years ago,” David Petraeus said in a speech last May.

Through a family friend, she fell into a last-minute blind date with young cadet David Petraeus.

I was set up on a blind date and so was he, but not with each other.

But just like an awkward blind date, you need a good opening line.
