“Love Is Blind” has become a wildly popular reality dating show since its debut in 2020. The premise is simple – singles go on “blind dates” in romantic “pods” where they can talk to each other but not see one another, with the goal of getting engaged before finally meeting face-to-face. While the show has produced some genuinely heartwarming love stories, it has also delivered plenty of cringe-worthy, uncomfortable moments that had viewers squirming in their seats. Here are 10 of the most awkward scenes from “Love Is Blind”:
