Blind Date

Couple of days back my friend asked me if i have ever been on a date before. It took me by surprise. I started thinking on what people call a date. Every stranger we meet in life can be a vital part at later stages. We start blank and then start knowing more about a person. Dating is something which is arranged for two people to meet with the prospect of getting into a relationship. It can be arranged by a third person or can be self. Then what is called a blind date. Its when a person meet a total stranger about whom he or she knows nothing.
Well, have i been on a date then? I have met many strangers who are a significant part of my life today. It could be arranged by a third person but still it falls short of one reason - "Relation"!!!
