The basic elements of interpersonal attraction include:
1. Proximity: Physical or spatial proximity increases opportunities for people to interact, thereby promoting mutual understanding and attraction.
2. Similarity: People's similarities in attitudes, values, interests, backgrounds, and other aspects can resonate and enhance each other's attraction and favorability.
3. Complementarity: In some ways, people may seek partners or friends who complement their personality, abilities, or needs, and this complementarity can also generate attraction.
