What is/are the difference(s) between short-term initial attraction and long-term maintenance

attraction?

What will be an ideal response?

Short-term initial attraction is the degree to which we sense a potential for developing a
personal relationship. Long-term maintenance attraction refers to the level of liking or
positive feeling that motivates us to maintain or escalate a relationship. It is rare for us
to maintain a relationship solely on the basis of what we initially found attractive about
a person.
