A method and apparatus for automating the process of confidentially determining whether individuals in social groups have positive or negative responses to each other and for automating the process of notifying the people involved of such responses. A computer system receives inputs from participants who have engaged in a group social event indicating the positive and negative responses they have toward each other. The system collects this information and searches for matches, i.e., for mutual positive responses, and for other patterns of response that provide valuable feedback to the participants, such as which participant received the most positive responses overall. The system then reveals this information to all the participants, and allows the participants who matched with each other to communicate privately.
