I've heard of people who didn't like someone initially but after being distant from them for a long time they fell in love, many such cases in my social group. Does this actually work? If so why?
availability heuristic. many people have gotten laid on roadtrips or spring breaks or camping trips just by being the hottest person in the group, even if they're unpopular with hundreds of people around
It’s a saying for a reason“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”It really depends the type of connection you share with the person before the absence If what you shared with them was a deep connection most likely they will be impacted forever. Most likely they will eventually realize they love you. Miss you, etcIf not then absence won’t do anything.
