Does love grow more when you are not together?
Many of our age old adages are not true and the one that's "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" is really not even close to being true. Initially there is a yearning and loss to a degree, but as time passes the two people grow apart. Common realities (goals, backgrounds, etc.) and good honest communication do make the heart grow fonder but not with a prolonged absence.
How can Absence make the heart grow fonder if being out of site means being out of mind?
Absence can make the heart grow fonder because it allows time for individuals to reflect on their feelings and appreciate their connection. While "out of sight, out of mind" implies a lack of immediate presence, being apart can spark longing and strengthen emotional bonds between two people.
Why absence makes the heart go fonder?
Absence does not really make the heart grow fonder. Absence usually makes people forget the bad quicker than the good. People forget why they broke up and wanted nothing to do with each other ever again. Still, as soon as people leave high school and go off to college, they usually break up with their high school sweethearts for someone else. So, unless there has been serious trauma, they usually forget or repress the bad and keep the good memories.
How can this reconcile with the other saying out of sight out of mind?
I can only conclude you mean " Abscence makes the Heart grow fonder " . Abscence DOES make the heart grow fonder with true love, but " Out of sight , out of mind " would indicate it was only a physical attraction.
What does this proverb mean Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
It means that when you don't see someone for a long time, you miss them more and more every day and remember mostly positive qualities about this person. This applies strictly to something you would like back. The mind has a tendency to remember the good times and wants to relive those experiences. When something that you enjoy is removed from you ,you will put almost all the negatives out of your mind and focus solely on the good.To me the term "absence makes the heart grow fonder" means that when someone you care for or love is away from you, you realize that regardless of what your feelings were, his or her absence makes you realize just how much that person means to you and by missing that person, it makes your heart happy :-) and you realize just how much you care for that person and want that person in your life!It means that when somebody's away, someone else misses them and likes them more when they return. For instance: a person you're dating goes away on a business trip or something. While he/she is gone, you miss them and wish that they would return. When they do return you are so glad to see them that it seems as if you like them so much more.This proverb means that when two persons are being separated form each other, they tend to miss each other more the longer the period they are being separated .This proverb is used particularly to describe lovers, husband and wife, and very close friends.
In dealing with men is it true that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' or is 'out of sight out of mind' more true?
Anything dealing with men is mindless because they are complicated. The heart only grows fonder if it has fondness to begin with for the absent one. Out of sight/mind only works if there are no feelings left. Basically if you have love for this individual then either way you will find it hard to forget them. Men are like babys: they need the love and the nuturing but have a hard time expressing exactly how. Some men think it shows weakness to show emotions but I myself am grooming my son to be emotionally attached not detached from his and others feelings and that my friend will make for a better man. I say real men wear pink, cry and love all woman in there lives like their mothers, whole heartedly......... Depends on the circumstances under which you and the man are distant, his level of feelings for you, his mental health issues if any, and so on. After a breakup, some people tend to idealise the relationship as time goes on, meaning they recall the good things and not the bad things. In that case they might grow fonder (this is why some people try to re-contact). Some people deliberately try to forget the other person and move on, in which case they wouldn't, especially if they have a new person in their life. If it's simply a matter of geography that is the source of your distance, I would think the level of feelings involved and the possibility of being together would factor into it. In psychology and dealing with the male part absence actually does make the heart grow fonder. The male is a lot more likely to feel depressed and anxiety. They'll stress and loose weight, and be the ones to rack up quite a phone bill calling their significant other. Out of sight out of mind isn't the case most of the time. Also depends on the relationship. Strong feelings have to be involved to continue dating long distance. A lot of couples if it comes to a point where they have to move away will just cut all ends. So yes when dealing with men absence does make the heart grow fonder.
What does absence makes the heart growfonder?
Absence from someone you love does, in fact, make the heart grow stronger. Absence in this sense can mean either or both distance and time. When an individual is away from another they care deeply for, or have good types of feelings about, they are more likely to feel those caring and good feelings more-so then before the person was away.
How do i make my guy friend forget about his girlfriend?
You aren't going to like my answer, but it's a 'no nonsense' solution in a quick way. Communicate the fact to him that he's not ready for a serious relations; that you have feelings too and until he is over his girlfriend then it's best to part your ways and each go your own way. This will give both of you head space to think more clearly and if he really loves you then 'absence makes the heart grow fonder.' It's a risk, but it helps you get on with your life. Don't take what he's dishes out.
Should you move with him to another state?
Well, I mean, maybe if your married, or engaged. Otherwise, don't do it if you are not because that could cause trouble. Good advice. Without a commitment, you should not give up what you have achieved and start all over. Use your time apart to your advantage; take some courses; do some volunteer work; learn a language or a new skill. Absence will either make the heart grow fonder, leading to more of a commitment, or to showing you that the relationship wasn't what you thought it was. Win, win either way.
If a guy found the woman he thinks is the one but moved to LA for med school is it likely he will retain these feelings for her if shes in Illinois or is it unlikely considering his new location?
"Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder." Boloney! Who'd ever believes that being away from somebody benefits a relationship. You'll be living in a different world, experience new interest, make new friends. It's a big world that is full of attractions, full of other women who will fulfill your needs, othe human beings that you can relate to.
