Context: The 90s Filipino Match-Making Test (How to Play)
Before dating apps… before “situationships”…
we had FLAMES and HOPE 😌🇵🇭
All you need:
✔️ Paper
✔️ Pen
✔️ Two names
✔️ A little delusion
FLAMES stands for:
• F – Friends
• L – Lovers
• A – Anger
• M – Married
• E – Engaged
• S – Sweethearts
Step-by-step:
Write your name and your crush’s name.
Cross out the common letters in both names.
Add them up and check the letter corresponding to FLAMES.
(Some people count the remaining letters, some people count the same letters—honestly, it’s all up to you because deep down you just wanted the answer you wanted anyway 😂)
If FLAMES feels too intense, do HOPE 😭
H – O – P – E
means
• Hindi – Hard no ❌
• Oo – Yes na yes 💘
• Pwede – May chance 👀
• Ewan – Situationship starter pack 🤡
👉 Try FLAMES or HOPE with:
• Your crush
• Your partner
• Your best friend
• Your celebrity bias
