Falling in Love and Getting to Know Someone: How Our Image of Them Changes

Distinguish an episode, personal hope and actual agreement. A warm image can change with information. Clarification is voluntary; refusal, safety and real obligations retain significance.

The 1996 study reports favourable idealization associations, not a causal effect of this practice. (Selected source within recorded scope, with editorial boundary)

A broken promise, refusal and harm retain significance regardless of my image. (Editorial distinction)

Revising an image need not declare past joy false or rewrite the past. (Editorial distinction)

Unknowns may remain open while important current terms need agreement. (Editorial distinction)

A small clarification is voluntary and needs no jealousy, monitoring or covert test. (Editorial distinction)

Song of Songs’ poetic address creates no duty to contact someone against refusal. (Selected source within recorded scope, with editorial boundary)
