Dear Abby,Your job is to use the following concepts from social psychology to make some recommendations that will help with this romantic dilemma.
Dear Abby, I have been dating a young woman for about 8 months. I fear she is losing interest in me. We attend different schools, so I can’t spend as much time with her as I would like. I am afraid she may have fallen for some other guy. Can you give me some advice about how to win her back?Signed, Worried and Weary
