I have been thinking what could be said when blind dating...an Idea from Shakespeare taken from the most incredible blind date:
R-If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy
shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing
pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with
a tender kiss. 
J-Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which
mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have
hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm
is holy palmers' kiss. 
R-Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? 
J-Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. 
R-Well, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; 
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. 
J-Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. 
R-Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. Thus
from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged. 
J-Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
R-Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me
my sin again. 
J-You kiss by the book.
