And in true Blind Date Fashion, I have made you a ~quiz~ that is scientifically calculated to give you your IDEAL MATCH.
Yes.
Science-driven. One True Love. Happily Ever After. Blah blah blah lots of love.
Simply go to the link (), take the quiz, and your IDEAL MATCH will appear (along with the five prompts).
