ABSTRACT:
A means and method for use at a date matching event to determine, in a discreet manner, the date preferences of a plurality of participants. The method includes gathering the plurality of participants at the date matching event, and assigning a unique identification code to each participant. The identification code is worn or otherwise displayed in plain sight, being readily observable by a plurality of the other participants. Each applicant may next, if time permits, be provided a temporal period to introduce themselves to the other participants, which is followed by a temporal interval for applicants to interact. After an interval for interaction, the date preferences of each participant are discreetly collected and analyzed to determine all occurring mutual matches. The mutual match results are then delivered to the participants, wherein matched participants may then meet to discuss the arrangements for their date.
