The difference between good faith and bad faith relation, due to the transactional nature of relations vs the destination of the relation. RelationShops are where love and hate are sold on an open market.

A relationShip, on the other hand, it a vehicle to transport two or more people from one place to another.

When two people have a relationship just to maintain a business or when one of them fakes having feelings for the other just for the sake of saving their business.
A man thinking to himself: " My business is about to collapse, I should come up w something... ' EUREKA!' I will approach my dumb female business partner."
Man: Hey lets hang out?
Dumb woman: SURE! ( in a happy go lucky fashion)
Man: You know, I always thought you are quite interesting and beautiful... I like you a lot. Would you like us to get to know eachother well? Lets have dinner tonight.
Dumb woman: I actually like you too, OK!
(then they end up sleeping and in the following days become a "couple" woman constantly keeps taking pics w her arm wrapped around him head tilted on his cheek.)
(Another girl that was ditched by the cowardice relationshop guy) : Wow, what a pathetic relationshoper of a guy he is.
