How do you tell the relationship status between a hetero-couple travelling on a bus together?? Think , think…must have wondered at some point in time.
After much observation, consideration and subsequent deliberation, I can now identify with certain degree of accuracy as to what's cooking between the two i.e. their chemistry.
Here’s how…the omen lies in them paying fares…so watch out for the obvious signs.
#1. Dutch Treat: going dutch with bus fares is synonymous with “just acquaintance” variant of couples or the best of pals in some cases.
#2. Both of them reluctant to cough up fares: hmmn, misers!! Love doesn’t patronize misers! So minus the love angle…probably covert competitors/rivals who are trying to go one up…you know the types!
#3. Either one overtly eager to pay the fares: well, that's simple! One of them striving to earn some brownie points…not too late, pal!! the target ain’t tagged and bagged, yet!
#4. Both of them sticking out to pay for the other: Mutual affection there.maybe be stemming out of previous instances of benevolence but indicative of budding affection nevertheless… call it courtesy, chivalry or whatever.
#5. One of them pays while the other looks on: If the non-paying party appears condescending of the other, then
:-( forget it yaar ! They have reached a mutual understanding in accordance with their future financial designs.
otherwise
:-) cool it yaar ! its his/her turn to pay…typical amongst daily commuters who travel together or colleagues.
#6. “left my money bag at home!”: you wouldn’t wanna get up, close and personal with these types…think preponed good riddance!
and finally…
#7 Either one of them smirks/chuckles on successfully coaxing the other to pay up: well the latter happens to be head over heels in love whereas the former is a cheap douche bag/leech.
