Problem summary

The user wants to form a mutually agreed connection with another person

Example

facebook.com

You can form mutually agreed friend connections at Facebook.

Usage

  • Use when you want to let users create a closed circle of people with whom they want to interact and share content with

Solution

Let users form mutually agreed connections with each other.

The mutual agreed two-way connection of friending is in contrast to the one-way Follow pattern, and implies a connection of a more personal type. Having an online friend relationship often gives each party access to the exchange of more actions and information between them.
