Techniques are disclosed to facilitate user matching in a virtual environment. Social interactions of a first user in the virtual environment are monitored. A request to participate in a desired activity is received from the first user. A set of users currently eligible to participate in the first desired activity is retrieved. A match is programmatically generated between the first user and at least a second user of the retrieved set of users, based on the monitored social interactions. The first user and the second user participate in the desired activity in the virtual environment.
