For years I've religiously read the Guardian's Blind Date column every Saturday morning.

If you've not come across it: the paper sets up two strangers on a date at a nice restaurant, then asks them both a series of questions afterwards, culminating in a score out of ten.

As of this Saturday, there have been 877 of them. So I pulled every article and analysed the scores, sentiment, trends, and a few other things I was curious about.

The whole thing updates itself; every Saturday a new date drops into the dataset automatically.
