a processor configured to:
determine first location information associated with a first user;
determine second location information associated with a second user;
determine, based on the first location information and the second location information, that the first user and the second user have crossed paths; and
in response to determining that the first user and the second user have crossed paths, cause a transmission of a first notification to a user device of the second user, the first notification indicating the first user and the second user have crossed paths, wherein the first notification comprises a time difference associated with when the first user and the second user crossed paths; and
an interface operably coupled to the processor, configured to transmit the first notification to the user device.
