The main problem is that these two are separated by a very thin line, as a matter of fact many people confuse attraction with love. These people believe that the feelings they have for the other person are so strong that they passed the attraction phase and walked into what is so called “love”.

Because the focus of URT is on initial interactions, it makes sense that decreasing uncertainty would result in increased intimacy. Because we are interested in romantic relationships, we will use the relational turbulence model to explain the role of uncertainty in relationship satisfaction.…
