CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/874,916 filed Dec. 14, 2006 entitled “System and methods to facilitate the interaction between entities”, which is incorporated fully herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to facilitating private interactions, and more particularly to evaluating and presenting interactions between parties privately. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONSocial and recreational clubs and private facilities may limit access to individuals who are members. Individuals may desire to experience other private clubs and facilities where they are not members, as well as meet other individuals. Members of clubs may also wish to invite guests to share in the enjoyment of clubs and facilities to which they members, as well as make new acquaintances. Identifying individuals who are compatible with each other may be difficult and time consuming. Identifying other individuals that may have compatible interests may be socially awkward. In addition, providing personal information puts members at risk both physically and emotionally. Face-to-face meetings between individuals also inhibit meaningful feedback that may assist individuals in future interactions. Accordingly, an efficient and effective apparatus, system and method is needed for assisting individuals in identifying possible compatible individuals without the need to divulge sensitive information or require prior personal contact. The systems and method may allow individuals to identify clubs and facilities of interest and share their experiences, or interaction at clubs and facilities. In addition, systems and methods may allow for feedback as well as allow other individuals to provide input in order to facilitate future interactions with compatible individuals. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is, therefore, an objective of the present invention to provide devices, systems, and methods for facilitating interactions between individuals. The exemplary method may include providing information about a first facility by a member of the first facility and reviewing information about a second facility provided by a member of the second facility. The member of the first facility may request a meeting of the member of the second facility with details of the requested meeting. The requested meeting is transmitted to the member of the second facility. The member of the second facility may accept, deny, or modify the requested meeting. The response is transmitted back to the member of the first facility. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the device may incorporate the following embodiments. In one embodiment, a member may put other members on their inclusive list or exclusive list. In another embodiment, members may rate the interaction and/or facility. In another embodiment, the first facility and second facility are private member only clubs or association. In yet another embodiment, the member of the first facility may be matched with the member of the second facility based exclusively on the membership of the facilities, time of the requested meeting, and members not being on an exclusive membership list. In another embodiment, the actions are carried out via a web portal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSThe above and other objectives and advantages of the present invention will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers refer to like parts throughout, and in which: FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a general overview of the interaction process between members according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
