FLAMES is a popular game, especially among young people, that is often played for fun to determine the compatibility between two people in a romantic context. The word "FLAMES" is an acronym that stands for:
F - Friends L - Lovers A - Affectionate M - Marriage E - Enemies S - Siblings
The game is based on the names of two individuals, typically a person and their crush or someone they are interested in romantically. The names are used to find out the relationship status between the two people and to predict what kind of relationship they might have in the future.
Here's how the FLAMES game is played:
Write down the names: First, write down the names of the two people you want to "test" on a piece of paper or any other medium.
Cross out common letters: Go through both names and cross out any letters that appear in both names. You should only count the letters once, even if they appear multiple times in either name.
Count the remaining letters: After crossing out the common letters, count the total number of remaining letters. Let's call this number X.
Calculate the FLAMES result: Using the word "FLAMES," count the letters sequentially (ignoring spaces and punctuation). Keep counting until you reach the letter corresponding to the number X. When you reach the letter "S," start again from "F."
Identify the relationship: The letter you land on after counting through "FLAMES" will indicate the relationship status between the two people:
- F: Friends
- L: Lovers (or in some variations, "Like")
- A: Affectionate (or "Admirers")
- M: Marriage (or "Married")
- E: Enemies (or "Enemies for life")
- S: Siblings (or "Soulmates" in some variations)
Remember, the FLAMES game is just a fun way to playfully speculate about the relationship between two people. It has no scientific or realistic basis for determining actual relationship compatibility. It's just a lighthearted game often played for entertainment among friends and young individuals.
