Question

Upon arriving at college and meeting your roommate, you sigh mightily as you listen to his endless droning on about how wonderful his girlfriend back home is. "i miss her so much and i can't wait to see her during thanksgiving break," he comments. knowing a bit about social psychology and the rules of interpersonal attraction, what are you most likely to think to yourself?

Answer 1

Answer: I am most likely to think that this relationship is doomed because of what the principle of proximity says.  

Explanation: The principle of proximity argues that people tend to be most attracted to those who are close to us rather than far away. Even though the feelings the college guy feel may seem strong at the present moment, it will probably fade away with time.
