When searching for new people, the current instant messaging networks typically allow users to search mainly by name or by e-mail and some of them also by interests, although one of them (Odigo) allows to search also by sex , age, area, languages, occupation &, interest. However, to the best of th e inventor's knowledge there is no way to systematically search in these networks for compatible personality, or by reciprocal compatibility in any o f the above mentioned attributes. This is a waste of huge potential since some of these networks already have more than dozen of millions of people. Also, Odigo allows searching by only among people currently connected, which means that highly compatible dates can be missed just because they don't happen to be connected at exactly the time of the search. The present invention is a novel concept which applies computer dating to the context of instant messaging, in a systematic and flexible way that to the best of the inventor 's knowledge has never been done before. This system and method enable the user to search and instantly compatible dates in instant messaging networks on th e basis of attribute search or 1-way compatibility search or 2-way compatibili ty search instead of being limited to search only by the limited options described above, and to search either for potential dates that are currently Online or Offline, and also take advantage of many additional features, and especially features that are based on improved integration between computer dating and instant messaging.
