When it comes to finding your forever person, there are infinite you could meet them. From bars to apps, many duds are out there waiting for you in the dating pool. One of the oldest ways of meeting someone is a blind date, where you're set up by someone and meet for the first time on the date.

Obviously, the ideal blind date is set up by someone you mutually know who thinks you'd both get along great. But, what if you don't have that friend to come in clutch and set you up? Would you trust an app to set you up on a blind date? That's what a developer named Alex Mead is hoping for.

On his website, he says he noticed that dating in Grand Rapids is broken, so he decided to use his engineering skills to try to fix it. That's when Blind Date was born.

While walking around my neighborhood in Alger Heights this week, I came across several of these strange signs posted. They're clearly printed on a home printer and laminated using a regular paper cover, so they almost look borderline sketchy.

The ad promises to help you find that perfect blind date on an app that is exclusive to West Michigan. They also list a website, GetBlindDate.com which takes you to a landing page trying to sell you on the idea that with just a few simple questions, they can set you up on a blind date with someone in Grand Rapids that is perfect for you.

While this feels like the modern day answer to a matchmaker, It also seems way too good to be true. The small pool of people willing to download an app after seeing it on a telephone pole doesn't exactly seem like the type of people I'm looking to date. But, they say they're using AI to help you find a perfect match, so it shouldn't matter.

But hey- maybe you'll find your special someone before this thing goes regional or nationwide and you can brag about it.  (or, maybe you'll find a serial stalker. It's a blind date set up by a stranger, what can go wrong here?)

Myself? I'll stick to the old-fashioned way of dating- dumb apps full of weirdos, and terrible dates after you met at the bar. But, maybe I'm just traditional like that.
