I know that for me it's true. It makes me feel safer to learn more about them from a distance, so that I can love them when they're close.

... or not. You might fall out of love because of absence.

Hmm...I don't really believe that.
Absence makes me forget. So if I start to forget who the person is, and what they look like, I start to fall out of love. Unless in this absence I keep in touch with the person, then the reunion will be sweet. |

Actually, I kind of agree with it.Because, like, personally if I really like someone and haven't seen them in a while, I start to miss them.So, like, when I see them again, I'm really happy.

It can go either way. If you put the effort in to stay in touch, keep talking and getting to know the other person then you get closer and closer.
If you don't keep in touch, or don't bother to continue the getting to know eachother process, then you don't grow any closer. |

I don't believe this. I know that when I'm away from my boyfriend for longer period of times without seeing him, we tend to fight more. I don't know, maybe that's just us. I could never do any long distance type dating due to the fact that I need the person I'm dating to be with me physically too.
Although, when I don't see my boyfriend for awhile, I tend to get moody, BUT, it makes the next time I see him just that much more special.

Well I tend to try to talk to them but then they'll get "busy" and i won't get a hold of them as often and so I'll get all suspicious. I like cuddling so I can't do the long distance relationships.

Funny, I was just thinking about that quote...
I believe that in certain situations absense definitely makes the heart grow fonder. But [in my case at least] as the heart grows fonder it is also being ripped to shreds as you would much rather be able to erase all feelings for that absent person from said heart. Also, while your heart grows fonder for that person which it should NOT be growing fonder for, it grows to distrust and question feelings for another person who is questionably absent, and who is the one you really SHOULD be growing fonder of. For me, the first person mentioned is my ex, the second person being my curent boyfriend.  Ok, enough ranting of my feelings.

How can you possibly miss someone if you're always with them?

It depends for me. If I like someone, and the feeling isn't mutual, their absence is the BEST thing ever, cause then I forget them. However, if it's like now, where I have a boyfriend who isn't and hasn't been present for a week due to camp, absence definitely just makes my feelings stronger.

QUOTE(fall3n_s0ul @ Jul 8 2007, 10:10 PM) I agree. How in love could you be in the first place if them not being near you all the time makes you fall out of love? That sounds a lot like giving up. |

I agree with it because when someone I love is away, they're all I can think about. I miss them and get anxious for when I'll see them again. If you love someone enough, absence will definitely not make you forget them...only love them more.

 Hi, Im Brook. Group: Member Posts: 1,774 Joined: Mar 2007 Member No: 508,383 |
I dont really believe it becasue absence makes me forget. So when I start to forget what he looks like, talks like, his personality, and why I liked him I will start to fall out of love.

Yes, it does! It's torture while they're absent, though.

Aaaabsolutely true. When they're away, you don't think about any tiny annoying things that they might do, you just think about everything that's good about them.
