Very much B.
Part of the reason me and the missus get along so well is because we're sometimes apart for weeks at a time. It just get's us out of each other's hair. Almost all the time i see couples bickering it's because they are living together and constantly under each other's skin, especially if they're the type who like their independence.

Completely depends on the person and how close (or not close) you are to them. There's some people that won't leave your mind no matter how much they're out of sight.

I experience a bit of both. I tend to miss people more when I first start seeing less of them, almost like withdrawal. Time apart makes me depend on their presence less, though. If I were to avoid someone long enough, the pain and longing would be dulled to the point of it being easy to ignore.

Depends on how long you're apart. Absence initially does make the heart grow fonder because you miss that thing/person, but eventually, if they're gone long enough, you will move on and your sentiments for them will fade.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder (especially if we're talking about food), but it's to a point.
Too long of an absence, and it starts to function like the first one.

This is a joke, right?
Both are completely true. Why are you trying to differentiate?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, IF YOU'RE ALREADY IN THE HEART! You can't miss something or someone you never knew.
If you're not in my heart and you go away, you may as well never have existed at all in my world. - 766 opinions shared on Other topic.
Number 2 for me, most definitely.
I once heard that guys fall in love in a girl's absence while girls fall in love in a guy's presence, but who knows how accurate that is - 13.3K opinions shared on Other topic.

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder -
Out of sight out of mind. I already lost a few good friends just because they moved away and I didn't bother about keeping contact.

Out of sight, out of mind
I'm very busy but even so, for some people is absence makes the heart grow fonder - 7.6K opinions shared on Other topic.
The first. I can't deal with it. It's almost impossible. I have distanced myself from people because of that.
I guess I am superficial like that. -
If you feel a connection with someone, the later is true. If you really don't like that person or there wasn't a connection, then the first is true.
-
If I spend enough time away from anyone I forget about them, it doesn't matter who they were to me. Too many people come and go to keep track.
-
A) If that person had the backbone to leave me, then I should have the backbone to accept it and move the fuck on.

the vast majority of long distance relationships, even just relationships that went over a distance for a year only simply don't last...
so yeah. distance makes you grow apart from each other. -
out of sight out of mind, because my mind if fully bloated, bloated by the desire to be the best, the one who will bring justice and fairness to a chaotic and unfair local universe.
-
Completely depends on which person it is. Sometimes I can get over a crush simply by not seeing them, but other crushes I crave more by distancing myself. i have experienced both
-
Depends... if the person is special than absence... if the person isn't very special then out of mind.
-
Absence does make the heart grow fonder. Well at least for me because you're always curious as to what the other person is up to, and not knowing fucks with your mind and feelings.

Out of sight, out of mind when I'm trying to cut someone out of my life or move on. The latter with pretty much anyone I care about.

Out of sight, out of mind. All it does is make my heart wander. It's very difficult to keep up a long distance relationship.
-
It honestly depends on how much you like the person.
