In today's world, we use the internet to find everything from a hotel to a potential spouse. However, just like finding that perfect hotel with the best rate, internet dating is harder than it may sound. And you can't rely on friends or family to 'hook you up' either because you still can't tell who it is you're dealing with until you finally meet up. Still, the blind date continues to be more popular than ever, and social media is making it happen, for better or worse.
#1 Online Dating Has Become A Way Of Meeting And Finding Potential Dates
Even if you chat with the person for weeks or months, there's really still no way of knowing exactly who that person is until that first meeting.

Here are some of the most hilarious blind date hookups...
