I had gone to my Mom’s place yesterday for a casual meet. While I was chatting with her, my attention was suddenly diverted to my 16-yr old cousin sitting beside, completely absorbed in her course book. Firstly she was continuously scribbling something in the columns of the book she was reading and secondly her expressions were changing rather quickly. Both stuck me as odd. Quietly I moved beside her and peeped into her book. I couldn’t help smiling. She was trying out FLAMES.
I am sure everybody in their teens have at least once tested their relationship through FLAMES ( Friendship, Love, Admiration, Marriage, Enemity, S- I don’t remember). Love meter gives the same result in percentage form. You try all this fundas – be it through love meter, love calculator, FLAMES, etc – when you have a soft corner for the person you are checking on, and wanna find out what your relationship will turn out to be according to these meters. Love had just started blooming in my Cousin’s heart too. Alas! The meter crushed it down by defining her relationship with her significant other as “Enemity.” I wonder how easy it would have been if one could really foresee the future of their relationship through such inventions!!
