How it works

Life should be lived with no regrets. Undoubtedly there are people that you know (or know of) that you’ve always wanted to ‘encounter’ physically. With graduation right around the corner, these final weeks are your last chance. This site is devoted to facilitating those encounters.

So... you enter the andrew IDs of the top five people you have always wanted to get with. If they also list you in their top five, we will email both of you-- the rest is up to you. If nobody matches with you, c’est la vie-- at least you tried. It's as simple as that.

Your top five are safe: your desires will only be revealed if the other person also desires you. Otherwise they will be kept secret forever.

You can look up andrew IDs in the directory.

Rules

While this is meant for seniors, underclassmen can participate; however they can ONLY list seniors in their five. Any non-senior entered by an underclassman will be removed from their five, thus they will have one less opportunity.
Seniors are recommended to put other seniors, but can also list underclassmen.

Strategy

We recommend that you choose your five as such:

one ‘reach’ - a person who’s a longshot, but it would be pretty sweet if they put you.
three ‘realistic’ - these are people who are in your league.
one ‘safety’ - someone you know you can bag (and want to bag).

Suggestions

Let's be honest. This could easily get awkward if you are unprepared. Here's some recommendations to help prevent awkwardness:

Be discreet. After receiving a match email, don't immediately facebook them or email them with the subject "OMG Where should we hook up?!". No one wants that. Instead, upon receiving a match email, just put that information in the back of your mind. If you run into each other on campus, or you are both at a party, then you can more confident to make moves.
Don't point out the elephant in the room. You might have a strong urge to point out the fact that you are a match with someone. Don't do this! You might wonder, "Did they get the email too? What if they didn't read it? Let me make sure and ask..." NO! They got it. They know what's up. Now be smooth.
Never reveal how your match fit into your strategy. It doesn't matter who was your reach, realistic, or safety. Don't tell anyone-- especially someone you match with. Also, never wonder what your match put you as-- it will drive you crazy. All that matters is that you chose each other.
