Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The title of the article indicates that it will focus on the initial step in forming a romantic relationship, which is typically meeting the other person. Proximity, or physical nearness, has been found to be a strong predictor of attraction and is likely the focus of the article. Intimacy, altruism, and similarity may all play a role in attraction, but are not as directly related to the first step of meeting someone.
