I remember our growing up days particularly in secondary school….or wasn’t that when we had ‘confirmed’ crushes on one another? Anyways, we had a funny game we played to determine whether the person we had a crush on was compatible with us. It sounds so silly now, but at the time it was a major factor in determining whether we should daydream about the fella or just move on to another crush. We simply put the person’s name over ours…like using the division formula in mathematics and then cross out the letters that we had in common. Ladies, please tell me you remember this formula….so let’s presume that my name is Adeola and I have a crush on a guy named Oyewole…here is how the formula goes: hehehehehehe
Adeola
Oyewole
So after crossing out the common letters, in this case e,o,l…we have these letters- a,d,a,y,w,o and e, we count these letters and check the table formulated to decide whether we are FRIENDS, ADMIRERS, LOVERS, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the criteria for classification anymore. Someone can help me out please…..as we really took these results to heart.
Enough of the digression, I guess that my husband must have gotten tired of our apparent differences and the little arguments about obvious issues that he decided to put me through a compatibility test. How early…right? I totally agree. Ordinarily I would have objected and showed my disagreement with the proposed test but on this particular day, I couldn’t be bothered. I even ensured that I provided very honest and consistent answers to all the questions.
I am sure you are aware of those online tests where you can receive the test results immediately you complete the tests. Anyways, I got my results and forwarded them to him without any second thought. I didn’t hear anything about the test until the next day. As expected, we were confirmed opposites…seriously, we had nothing in common. As in we share no similarities…..I was surprised, I always told him that even science has proven that opposites attracts….lol.
To our surprise, after we had compared the results and confirmed the obvious, the last line on the result page indicated that even though I was a total opposite of his type of person, he actually NEEDS ME to get a correct balance in life. Fellow wives and ladies, I am sure you know where that information comes handy.,……
I think I'm young enough to remember using F.R.I.E.N.D.S too. And the opposites attract quip
