I think it’s a great idea for a shidduch date. The tables would have mechitzas and the shadchan should come along on the date, along with his/her spouse, so they can actually make the conversation for the boy and girl, who naturally would not be allowed to see each other through the mechitzah. For example. let’s say the shadchan is the husband. he could ask the boy to make a comment, repeat that comment to his wife, and she could convey the sentiment to the girl. The girl could then reply (to the wife) and she could convey the girl’s comments to the shadchan who could in turn repeat them to the boy. All very tzniusdig.
