Method and apparatus for facilitating romance and/or sexual relations

摘要

A method and apparatus for facilitating interaction between a human individual and other individuals with whom he or she has indicated an interest in or attraction for, or with whom he or she has a shared ‘mutual attraction’. A computer system receives inputs from various individuals indicating an attraction for or interest in other individuals. Individuals are directly notified through the system of the other individual's interest regardless of whether or not a ‘mutual attraction’ exists. When the system determines that a ‘mutual interest’ exists between individuals, it indicates the current availability or logged-on status of both individuals. In addition, the system provides a means for a user to indicate, change and communicate his type or level of interest in another individual. The system also provides a user with the ability to track and view all those individuals who have indicated an interest in or attraction for him or her, regardless of whether or not a ‘mutual attraction’ exists between both individuals.
