"Blind date" , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas,(80 cm x 100cm)
Real-life may not always be a symphony of buoyant instants or ecstatic exploits. Downbeat emotional externalities can emerge unpredictably throughout our life journey. If we wish to turn life into an undying dance prom, let’s keep one foot in reality for sure. Taking part in blind date sessions claims some mental detective work. Do the participants want to pursue a relationship or are they just looking forward to playing the field? Blind dating is often the last straw and is not always a glorious enterprise, as its path is often sown with disenchantment and many misunderstandings. It can be experienced as a stage of embarrassing moments, sometimes decorated with thought bubbles like " Rather boring", "poor background", "be beautiful but keep quiet?" and the communication language is often restricted to desperate small talk." If we put a sexologist, a sociologist, and a spiritual advisor together, they could create the perfect couple, based on scientific matchmaking. They follow singles yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree to a provocative proposal: getting legally married to a complete stranger the moment they first meet.. After several weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together or decide to divorce. This is thus an extreme case of blind date session: the social experiment, "Married at First Sight"
