I'm posting this on behalf of my friend because she's not on Reddit. I'm actually the one who found the original post here and encouraged her to sign up because I genuinely thought it was a great idea.

She was contacted by one of the organizers, and later by George, and was told they had found a potential match for her. They scheduled her date for July 5.

Because she took it seriously, she planned her entire weekend around it. She cleared her schedule, decided not to travel, and even avoided pursuing other dating opportunities because she didn't want to end up canceling on someone if this blind date turned out to be a good match.

She was genuinely excited. She even answered the first phone call in the middle of a meeting because she didn't want to miss it. Since then, she's been telling friends and family how excited she was because she loved the concept of a real blind date.

Now... complete silence.

Her calls aren't being answered, her texts haven't been replied to, and she has no idea whether the event is still happening.

What makes this especially disappointing is that when this event was first posted on Reddit, a lot of people criticized the organizers because participants weren't being paid for appearing. I was one of the people defending the concept because I thought it was refreshing compared to dating apps and genuinely believed they were trying to create something meaningful.

Now I feel terrible because I'm the one who convinced my friend to sign up.

She's now left looking foolish when everyone asks, "So how did the blind date go?" and she has nothing to tell them because she was simply ghosted.

I'm not posting this to attack anyone. I'm genuinely wondering:

* Has anyone else been scheduled for **Table Two Together – Love at First Bite** and experienced the same thing?

* Has anyone actually gone on one of these dates recently?

* Is there an explanation or has communication just stopped?

I still think it's a fantastic concept, but if plans change or a match falls through, I think participants deserve a quick message instead of being left wondering.

I meant "Table Two gather " for the name of the show

Hey! I'm a 31-year-old brown guy, 5'10", with a solid build and a regular gym habit. I'm an engineer by profession but try not to let work define me. I'd say I'm pretty easygoing, curious, and always looking for my next adventure.

You'll usually find me riding my Triumph Bonneville, exploring new roads, hiking, working out, traveling, taking photos, or getting lost looking up at the stars. I'm a big fan of good food, road trips, deep conversations, and learning about everything from history to astronomy.

I'm hoping to meet someone who's kind, genuine, has a good sense of humor, and enjoys getting out and making memories together. I'm much more of an in-person connection kind of person.

I’d rather grab a coffee or go for a walk after we've established we're both normal than spend weeks chatting into oblivion. Life's too short for endless texting. If that sounds like your kind of vibe, come say hi!

I’m a 36M professor. I’ve recently gone through a breakup and am single for the first time in a long time.

Personality

I'm curious, irreverent, analytical, calm, and slightly subversive. I feel most comfortable one-on-one or in small groups. I value openness, intellectual playfulness, and unconventional ideas. INTJ.

I like sunlight, rain, indigo, sake, corgis, capybaras, puzzles, abstraction, artful asymmetry, analytic philosophy, modern art and architecture, negative space, warm lighting, bookstores. On weekends, I often find myself wandering Toronto’s neighborhoods, soaking in the texture and character and life of the city.

Activities

I play video games, especially strategy and puzzle games. I exercise regularly (running, lifting, pickleball). I’m interested in getting into board games, yoga, meditation, disc golf, and raves/festivals/concerts—if you like any of these things, I’m open to exploring together.

I’ve long been passionate about psychedelics (as well as other drugs, including cannabis). I’m responsible and intentional about this, and I seek a partner who’s open to having such experiences together and who recognizes the value that they can bring.

Career

I went to an Ivy for undergrad, did my PhD at a top program, and now am a professor. I’m ambitious and successful, but I worked very hard to get to where I am today. I care deeply about my research, and it’s a core aspect of my identity.

I'm from the US, but I’ve lived in five countries (and more than ten cities). I travel often for work, and I like exploring new places.

Physical

East Asian / 5’7 / fit with some muscles / stylish / kinky.

You are…

• intellectually curious, and open to learning about my work.
• appreciative of small moments of beauty.
• attentive to your own appearance, including style.
• stable, communicative, cooperative.
• ambitious in life, in whatever sense that means to you.
• any age: I’m open to younger and older.
• the whole package: heart, brains, and liver.

Hello

I am looking for people who are interested in testing my dating app. It is at the external testing phase. My app promises more quality matches, and engagement. Since it is in the testing phase, you will get higher-quality matches because I am not focused on selling you a subscription, like the other dating apps. I am mostly looking for Android users because i need 12 testers for 14 days, but I will also be taking Apple users
