NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) \u2014 Is love truly blind, and are you willing to risk it? If you live in New York City, now you can.<\/p>\n
For the first time, Love Is Blind, the Netflix dating series, is casting singles in the city.<\/p>\n
The show begins with a speed\u2011dating format for 30 men and women, each paired in pods separated by a wall. Contestants talk without seeing one another and must get engaged before ever meeting face\u2011to\u2011face to go onto the next phase.<\/p>\n
The first time couples see each other is during the engagement reveal, when the doors open.<\/p>\n
After getting engaged, couples move into a trial\u2011living period before heading to a wedding ceremony, where they decide whether to say, \u201cI do\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
