This is essentially what i have

This person has requested something from another person at this time.
Map<person, timestamp>

But I also want to know who the other person is? Would I have to create another map or is their a different way?
Map<person, otherPerson>

ex.

if (!Map.checkTimestamp(person)) {
"youve already interacted, please wait 5 seconds"
} else if (!Map.checkPeople(person) {
"this otherPerson already has an interaction with someone else"
}

hopefully this makes sense because im having trouble figuring it out myself.

You'd probably need A Map indexed by Person, with as value everything to know about this person, such as a Map indexed by other Person to point to all requests made to that other person
