Secret identity pairing and gradual disclosure

摘要

A method of pairing and gradually disclosing secret identities of at least two individuals looking to exchange messages on a defined topic, such as a meeting place providing individuals an opportunity of assessing each other suitability as a prospective partner in an intimate relationship. Individuals must select each other in addition to a number of selected contacts from a list of contacts that is presented to them. An application system or a third party individual must aggregate their choices, pair the individuals that have mutually selected each other and, display an intermediate pairing event to each individual paired with a contact, wherein the pairing event consists of the contact paired with the individual positioned among at least one contact of the number of selected contacts. The intermediate pairing event is providing a first disclosure stage in which each individual obtains a clue on the real identity of a prospective partner.
