Document Summary
Propinquity: we are more likely to become close with people we see and interact with often. Exception: if you start off disliking someone then increased exposure increases the dislike. Functional = physical and similarities of daily schedule or new formed friendships from a town house complex. Similarity: we are more likely to become close with people who are like us, especially in attitudes and values. When we like someone, we might adjust our perceptions of similarity and downplay differences. Perceived similarity is more important than actual similarity. If we like someone we may believe that we are more similar than we are in reality. If you plant the idea that you are similar then they are more likely to like you. Reciprocity: we are more likely to become close with people who like us back. When it comes to romance, we like others who. When given a low number of point then there are clear preferences.
