Relationships, be it a boy-girl, man-woman, friend-friend, etc., are like hot coffees in a cold restaurant. You need the drink to keep you warm. The place is cold, and something ought to keep us warm.
The first step in buying a coffee is deciding the type of coffee you want. This somehow reflects your personality, although it, in no way masks the personality of your coffee. Are you a latte person? An all-black person? Perhaps a moccachino kind of guy? In anyways, we buy the coffee our palate approves of.
The next step is finding a comfortable place where you could enjoy your coffee. Of course one usually buys hot coffee on a rainy day and would usually want to sit near a window to observe the outside world. One congratulates oneself that in this cold rainy day, one is sitting with a very hot coffee. Unless, you're a masochist, you would not want to drink your hot coffee right away. YOu could get hurt. The keyword here is slowly. Hot coffees are enjoyed by sipping, not by gulping.
Eventually, you and your coffee lapse into a comfortable phase, you read your favorite book and after a while, forget the coffee. Finally, when you remember to drink your coffee, you find out that it is not that hot anymore and God forbid, it is a bit cold! It is no longer the coffee you wanted... it is still made up of the same caffein, but somehow it is different. The feel is different. And you long for the hot coffee. You feel the cool breeze of the airconditioning system and you reminisce the good old hot coffee. Where is my hot coffee? 'Tis a stranger before me! So the question that immediately comes to your mind is - should i get another cup of coffee? But it is too much expensive. One has to get up, walk towards the counter and again decide what kind of coffee you want. Too much work you say. But it is cold and you need something to keep you warm. The answer? Don't get up. Ask the waiter to get a coffee warmer.
