Abstract

A computer implemented method includes monitoring at a server electronic communications over a network between a first matched individual at a first client device and a second matched individual at a second client device. The monitoring includes observing initiator electronic communication contributions originating at the first client device and recipient electronic communication contributions originating at the second client device, maintaining a total electronic communications count between the first client device and the second client device, and measuring an electronic communications duration period from an initial initiator electronic communication and a last electronic communication. Based on the monitored electronic communications, it is determined that one or both of the first matched individual and the second matched individual are ready for an in-person meeting. A prompt is supplied to the first client device to initiate the in-person meeting.
