"It's interesting that the less I see him the more I like him" (Rutka 34).
I got this quote a while back when I was reading a book. It went into my list of things to blog about . . . an ever growing list since I have been a total slacker lately. It can back to the forefront when I recently ran into someone.
Anyways, ever so often I read something in a book, and it feels like I could have written it or at least it is something I can totally relate to. This is obviously one of those quotes. Looking back, I realize how many times this has been true of the various crushes I have had over the years. I remember thinking how great that person was when they weren't around, and then I can remember seeing that person again and wondering what I was thinking.
Is it really that absence makes the heart grow fonder or that absense makes one forget what the other person is really like. Maybe it is somewhere in between the trite saying and the cynical thought above. Either way, props to yet another writer who has capture my thoughts perfectly.

a worse crush problem is when the opposite happens.
I think it's that absence makes the heart grow fonder BECAUSE absence makes us forget what the person is really like... =) And I, too, have experienced that all too often.
