Online dating is becoming as big of a commitment as a serious relationship. The applications and endless profile-building keep you chained to your computer when you could be out meeting The One or at least adding to your repertoire of Hell-Date stories.
Crazyblinddate.com, which is launching today in Boston, New York, and San Francisco, strips the online-dating process down to its bare bones. Crazyblinddate.com promises to get you interacting with as many people as possible as soon as possible, which reduces the chance of a sizzling online romance fizzling with an in-person meeting.
The process is easy: Go to crazyblinddate.com, and pick a single or double date. Choose the time and neighborhood for your date, and the site text you with the time and location of your date. All the dates take place at a coffeehouse or bar--your pick. The idea is to keep the expense and the drama at a minimum.

You can narrow down your potential date a little bit if you really don't want to date an 85-year-old retired MIT professor named Ernie. Or you could throw caution to the wind and let the fates decide. Once the date is over, you must rate the date before you can go out with anyone else who has registered with the site.
CEO Sam Yagan, who also brought you OKCupid, says that the Beta launch of the site, which was covered by our brothers and sisters at Austinist, attracted "tons of users." The site's goal is to make dating a little more spontaneous, and he compares the site to Twitter, which successfully pulls off "offline and online [interaction] at the same time."
If you dare to try out crazyblinddate.com, let us know how it turned out, and we'll post the experiences!
