propinquity \pruh-PING-kwih-tee\, noun:
1. Nearness in place; neighborhood; proximity.
2. Nearness in time.
3. Nearness of blood; kindred; affinity
Propinquityas a concept; the one who happens to be there, gets it. Otherwise known as bring at the right place at the right time; or out of sight, out of mind.
You see it happening all the time. The great girl with the nerdy guy-next-door. The guy who smokes with the boss gets the promotion. The prince marrying the TV3 girl he saw on TV. Robert Downey Junior hooking up with the producer of some film he worked on. Brad Bitt and Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith. Tim Burton and Elizaabeth Taylor on the set of Cleopatra. Elizabeth Taylor and her gardener husband.
Heck, it's the same when it comes to advertising as well. Why do you think millions of dollars are spent on advertising? To bring the product closer to the customer; right into the Lust part of their brains if possible.
Given proximity and just a wee bit of time, you can make anybody fall in love with you. It's not very hard. That's why I'm convinced that if I just get close enough to Val Kilmer and/or John Travolta, I could get them to fall in love with me.
