Abstract

This invention relates to a dating service which allows potential dates to observe the users of the system in their automobiles. The preview of the person allows them to decide if they are compatible in age, attractiveness, and economic level. The potential date could then call a telephone service to hear a brief message about the person's interests and information, after entering in the automobile's license plate number. A voice message can then be left for the user of the system for anonymous contact.
