The subject invention is to assist people in a social gathering, such as at a bar, a dance or networking mixer, where people desire to locate persons of similar interests. The invention affords the user the opportunity to select and conveniently encode their interests into a small personal electronic device. The device then uses a transceiver to broadcast their selections over a very localized physical area, e.g. 10 - 20 feet. The computer system contained in the personal device uses a method to determine if a match is received and then to either discard the signal and examine the next signal in the event of no match, or trigger a signal indicating a match. Persons possessing similarly encoded devices can then locate one another using the match indicator.
