Embodiments enable auction style dating comprising posting and bidding for activities which have at least a temporal component. Bids are a commitment from a bidder to attend an activity posted by a posting member that occur at a given time and possibly location. Embodiments of the invention enable an auction style online dating service that brings people with common interests together based on activities and allows for actual dating activity between a person posting an activity and a person seeking to participate in the activity through the bid process. The system allows for a real-time interactive dating service that allows a person who posts the activity to choose between bids. In addition, the system is capable of removing bids for other activities after a user has won an auction if the winning user's other bids are for activities that would not be able to be attended based on the winning bid.
