Graphing a relationship....

"Be Specific" with an akward flat-handed-arms-at-an-obtuse-angle gesture is how it all started about six months ago. What did it mean, we pondered. How does this fit into the bigger picture of the male/female relationship?

Well, as David and I were sitting at lunch enjoying Dos Reales the conversation turned to relationships, existing or potential (mostly potential) and perhaps we discovered it.

I'm not going to sell the farm, but I'll let you see the cattle. Basically, a relationship in all phases, can be explained graphically. We focused on the potential relationship. The x-axis is labeled time. There are two y-axis' one describes time spent together (increasing from bottom to top), the other describes thinking about/desire for the person of interest (also increasing from bottom to top). As the lines converge the 'red zone' is entered where action must be taken. In the red zone the male must decide if the desire and time spent have been matched by the corresponding female. If they do not match, clearly the potential relationship needs to be taken to the landfill, but if they do match the relationship must be defined in conversation and both must 'be specific'.

Obviously, there are other external factors, which can be graphed in squared and cubic functions. There's not enough room on blogger to explain variations, but you get the idea. Also, granted it's not perfect, but I'll let you chew on that for awhile and rip it apart in the comments section. Cheers.
