The user enters his/her name, his/her age, gender, adds his/her picture, and answers 20 simple multiple choice questions about their dating preferences. Whether the application is active or not, it will notify them via text message when another user with the application is nearby (within 50 yard radius). The user can set a filter for how many answers they must have in common with another other user before match notifications are sent. (Example: “I would like other users to have at least 12 answers matching mine before a notification is sent.”) The match notification text message will include the other user’s picture, name, and how many answers (out of 20) they shared in common.
