#2This is some strange notion of zero-knowledge.
If Bob publishes his link, and I want to know who his crush is, I can simply try all our classmates' names and quickly find out that it's Alice.
Those games only make at least a bit of sense when everybody enters their crush and only when matching both get notified.
Also brute-forceable, but at least it's quadratic (if you suspect nothing about crushes, which is unrealistic in itself).

Yeah, it is like hashing a phone number to protect its owner's identity. With a small domain known by the attacker hashing isn't really one-directional.

Or even easier, use a SHA-256 reversing service that has all names.

Easy as an adult. But as a kid I feel like we jumped through soooo many hoops to de-risk telling someone we had a crush on them.
I remember those reallllly early games like MASH or even early "compatibility" apps. Very coy.
