Jiffr, you could say, is the exact opposite of a blind date. This is a combination of Flickr and eHarmony wherein everything is based on photos—a picture is worth a thousand words, right? Start by representing yourself with a set of Flickr photos—choose nine from your account that describe who you are and choose well, because this is your only form of communication; there will be no messaging, chat or long love letters; text is out, photos are all you’ve got.
Next take a gander at other users’ photos and pick the ones that look datable. Come Thursday expect an email in which you’ll find a potential date. If both you and the other party agree to meet on Saturday at 8pm at a previously agreed upon location, you’ve got a date. If you can’t make it, try again, wait until the next Thursday comes along for your next chance.
