How to get a Date by BlueJacking?

Some time ago the Japanese developed a small wireless device that you could wear, into which you could enter the details of the person you would like to meet plus your own details, and when two devices came within range of each other they would beep or flash indicating that a match was nearby.

You get the idea - it's a Friday night and you fancy a *hot date* - he must be muscular, 6' and not into commitments - you walk down the road past a bunch of guys and your device beeps - one of them is your perfect match for tonight - you get the picture I'm sure.

Anyway, the device never really took off.

But we now have Bluetooth phones that can BlueJack

You could start by sending a simple message - perhaps 'Guy 17 looking for Girl 17-18' or similar - perhaps we should develop a BlueJacking code sheet to avoid confusion :)

You now check your Bluetooth devices and see that 'SexyGirl' has come into range - in the crowd you have no idea who she is of course so you send your message and include your details within the Contact.

Now she knows your Bluetooth name you can start a dialogue. With the built in camera in your phone you can take your picture and send it to her - moments later you get a tap on the shoulder and ......

Well, you get the idea.

The advantage is that you now have something in common to talk about - the art of BlueJacking.

Best of all this is completely and 100% free of charge - no 10p text messages or phone calls and not finding that the other person lives 150 miles away - they are in the same bar/pub/bowling alley/tube or train as you are.

So the future is Blue, not Orange.
