1. A computer-readable non-transitory physical storage medium having stored thereon machine-executable code for electronically facilitating contact between mutually interested entities, said machine-executable code to be executed by a microprocessor, said machine executable code which when executed by said microprocessor causes the microprocessor to perform operations comprising:
causing a device to display a graphical user interface (GUI) for a first user to input a rating of the first user's level of interest in one or more respects in at least one other user, wherein the at least one other user is from a pre-existing list comprising a list of users other than the first user;
