In the heart or out of it ?
Have you ever wondered if 'out of sight is out mind' or does 'absence make the heart grow fonder' ?
What do you think ?

Libyan multicultural, multiracial, single mum...Hopeless romantic, veteran of unrequited love, still searching for her soulmate and fancies herself a novelist !

Depends. For sure, a few thousdand kilometres can work as an amplifier of ones feelings.
The letters, the Xs the Os, the calls and the trembling of ones voice, the waiting, the missing each other, the imagination that beats any reality... What can be more romantic?
it depends on the person's closeness ,and also about the time interval ,if it's considerably a short time then it's the second saying ,if it was a LONG time then it'll eventually turn to be the first saying.
I think it always ends up 'out of mind' for men and 'fonder' for women - it's gender based. Unless the absence is related to a death, then there is mourning followed by resignation and then forgetting.
I used to say: ‘loin des yeux - loin du coeur’ but then I realized that I was a big fool...
shlemazl,
Answering your what can be more romantic is when you finally realize that the distance is just too much that you can't do it anymore.
I don't beleive that absence makes the heart grow fonder unless the distance is for a short time. But I also don't believe out of site out of mind.
I think it mostly depends on the relationship and like highlander said gender.
Out of site is NEVERout of mind when the relationship means anything to you.
Lets see - six comments and what's the score?
Shlemazl: it's romantic - yes stronger ?
Anonymous : time is a factor
hatem: yes -stronger
Highlander: gender is a factor
american libya: time and gender
rosebud: yes - stronger
Thank you for your comments and welcome to my blog for the first timers.
I still can't make up my mind :)
