    It is New Year’s Day and the Magical Girl of Love and Shipping approaches you. She tells you she is running a matchmaking event that occurs once per year.

    If you agree to participate, you will be matched with a person who is absolutely guaranteed to be someone you will love. The Magical Girl is able to guarantee this due to her magical shipping powers.

    This encounter will occur in a magical dimension where both of you can make anything you imagine come true, so basically an ultimate date of your dreams.

    There are a few caveats — you can only spend 24 hours with that person. Additionally, both of you will receive slight modifications to your appearance so you look different. Furthermore, your lips are cursed with a seal so that both of you cannot share any identifying information that could ascertain your identity. This means you cannot mention your name, location, job... many details that could potentially be identifying.

    Basically, the encounter is rigged so it is impossible for you to meet your date again... well, at least until January 1st 2021 when the event happens again!

    1. Would you participate in the matchmaking event?

    2. Would you want to meet someone who you’ll absolutely love, if you were told that you would never see them again?

    3. How would you spend your 24-hour date?

    4. Is 24 hours enough for you to feel comfortable with or open up to your “ideal” love?

    5. Are you bad with saying goodbyes?

    Agreeing to meet up somewhere isn't identifying though :blobpeek:

    1. Yes because I want to feel affection
    2. No, I'm not stupid enough to hope for another meeting
    3. Wholesome handholding while playing videogames
    4. Anyone that shows slight affection to me will make me happy
    5. Nah. I don't think much about it except when I'm home alone and lying down on my bed reminiscing about my friends. I just feel this anxiety deep inside for some reason that we can't do stupid shit anymore ever since I moved away and loneliness engulfs me.

    You wouldn’t know exactly what they look like, or have a reliable form of contact.

    It would be kind of like saying: “Let’s meet at the Eiffel Tower in Paris on December 25th 2020 at 5:00 PM!”

    1. Nope, not a hookup person, but for poll purposes lets just say i was drunk and accepted

    2. That sounds like something that would make me depressed, so no

    3. From all i know about dates whatsoever, netflix and chills sounds pretty nice

    4. I don't think so... im pretty introverted and closed in general and 24 hours it's a pretty small amount of time

    5. Absolutely, my best friend had to go to another state last year and that was pretty fucking depressive

    Happy new year! :blobhero:

    You'll need some sort of nickname in the matchmaking, which you can just shout at the location at the time. It'd basically the same feeling as someone shouting your online nickname in public, would be hard to miss.

    Ah, but you forgot to add "I'll be wearing a purple coat with orange stripes so you'll recognize me. Now what will you be wearing?"

    I find it interesting how many polls i see this account make that do their best to make things that would be appealing to many people become as unappealing to as many of those people as possible. And then tries to quantify which of those people ended up being pushed off and by how much the formerly appealing thing by adding quantifying identifiers to the poll answers. *applause intensifies*

    If I wasn't married then maybe. it would have to be that I like her and asked her out, or maybe we spoke before and maybe she liked me so she asks me out.

    something you notice is women tend ask you out more when your married. *shows ring* she goes *OH! ok bye* or *OHHH! lets go to a hotel! she won't find out*, as a man severally tempted, but *makes space between us and declines*.

    btw I do tell my wife when it happens it's like hanging a ribbon on the wall. like see!!!! I still got it!

    So just a really good date where you can't meet up for a second date.

    Sounds bad but I might reluctantly agree depending on my mood at the time.
    Considering I'm with friends and celebrating the new year though... nah. Maybe if the fairy came when I felt more lonely and was more desperate. I can honestly just go on a date with someone who I actually have a chance at meeting again which would be much better.

    *says to my date*
    "Lets meet up at the Eiffel Tower in Paris on December 25th 2020 at 5:00 PM! I'll be wearing a shirt that says 'i'm waiting for my blind date'. I'll be the person who reads novels online with his phone"
