The obvious thing is to do like Sasha would: collaborative filtering.
After every date, each participant rates the other and posts those
ratings, then everyone on the system compares their ratings of various
dates to others; "Let's see, EvMick and I seem to have a high
correlation in our ratings, and he just rated Amara an 8, so I might
just give her a call..."
