Does that meaning really exist? Have any of you experienced this sort of thing with your partner or do you not believe in it? What are your thoughts on it?

I would like to invite you to visit the LDR forum here and see for yourself - the many fond ways in which the heart moves after being strained through long distance.

Nah. Out of sight, out of mind.

 

This is also true. Depends on the couple.

Isn't that bad though?

I suppose it depends on the reason for the absence, how extended the absences are and what you're doing in the meantime, doesn't it?

 

If you're hoping that your boyfriend who dumps you and has moved away misses you, then you're probably in for a load of disappointment. But if your boyfriend has been adrift at sea for a few weeks, he probably misses you more than you can imagine.

 

In your case, I don't know.

Girlfriend (1+ year) and I are temporarily on opposite coasts of the US. Haven't seen her in person in nearly a month.

 

I think it definitely makes the heart grow fonder.

 

I never thought I could spend hours on skype with someone nearly every day of the week. Never thought I'd get super excited receiving a hand written letter. Never thought I'd actually get my guitar and sing for someone. I never done this. But, it felt right.

 

And from what I see, she feels the same way. Her face/voice shows so much when we speak of living together. She lights up in a beautiful way. There is a special excitement in her voice when we're looking at furniture, pets, etc. The way she writes her letters, draws little pictures, etc. It shows to me that she truly cares. And cares even more now.

 

I am sorry for rambling on, but I guess it felt nice. Thanks for reading.

I'm a bit worried, I've been dating this 1 guy for a few weeks and then he stops talking to me for a few days, does this mean it's over or he is just busy. And lets say we don't talk for a whole week, do you think he will miss me or.....?

It may be that he's not that into you - at least not yet. A few weeks is very early days to expect much - after a couple of months, he should either be into you or he'll continue this behavior and you'll know he's not.

The statement is only true if the person already likes you.

 

If they dont know you, why miss you?

As with everything else... only in moderation.

Well it's going on 2-3 days with no word so not sure whats up except perhaps he's busy.

If you post more details maybe we can offer better advice.

 

For people who are already in a relationship, being apart a week or two will make them miss/long for each other.

 

However, if you're just getting to know someone being apart is not a good sign. It could mean many things.. Busy, not interested, dating others, etc.

I didn't know a single woman who wasn't exciting by the distance. Once I knew this woman who went to the other side of the world from me. When she got there, she wanted to exchange sex photo's with me. I told her not to bother. Distance didn't do anything for me. So I deleted her.
