Personal dating ads coming to life in this roughly year-long dating game show.
Gameplay
The contestants that appeared on that show were all people drawn from personal ads from newspapers, magazines & videotapes. The objective of the male contestant was to find out how compatible one of three female contestants can be. (On lesser occasions the genders were reversed, with one female contestant selecting from three men.)
Main Game
The three ladies all answered four dual-choice questions previously answered by the man contestant. Their job was to predict how the man answered. The first woman to make four matches or the woman with the most matches when time is up won the game; if the game ended in a tie, the man had to guess which tied lady gave a more specific answer to any question making her the winner. The winning lady became the date for the man (partnered with the man) and together they played a bonus round against the previous show's couple.
Bonus Round (Love Thermometer)
The formed couple & the previous show's formed couple played against each other in a bonus round called "Love Thermometer". In this round, the couples sat with their back to one another and started to answer compatibility questions. Each time a couple made a match, they moved up one step; if they didn't make a match at any time, they fell back down to zero. Each correct match increased the value of a trip for that couple; the more they matched, the bigger the vacation. This round lasted for 90 seconds (1:30); when time was up, the couple with the higher-filled love thermometer won the trip.

Trivia
This show was the first of three dating game shows to air during CBS late nights. It was also the longest running having the others last for just a few months. The other two shows were A Perfect Score & Night Games.
The production logos in front of a scene with a landing airplane were later used in the pilot for Caesar's Challenge.
Announcer Jennifer Martin went on to voice Ms. Sara Bellum in The Powerpuff Girls.
