Dateare

Dateare is a fictional construct used in speculative fiction and worldbuilding to describe a comprehensive, time-aware dating and relationship-management system. In narratives, Dateare frameworks model how individuals, events, and preferences are recorded, matched, and navigated across different temporal layers, enabling characters to plan, revisit, or alter relationships over time.

Key components include a dateare data model that encodes temporal intervals, lifecycle states (proposal, dating, commitment), consent protocols, and privacy controls; matching algorithms emphasize not only current interests but future trajectories and life events. Interoperability with social graphs and narrative timelines is common.

In literature and games, Dateare often serves as a plot device to explore themes such as surveillance, algorithmic bias, consent, and the social consequences of ubiquitous dating data. Variants depict dystopian or utopian outcomes depending on governance, transparency, and user agency.

As a term, dateare is not an established technology or standard in the real world. It appears primarily in fictional contexts and as a thought experiment for discussing how temporally aware data could shape interpersonal relationships in future societies.
