# Halo effect We often idealize the people we are attached to. In the early stages of a relationship, everyone is prone to seeing their new interest through rose-colored glasses. We selectively focus on their best points, and tend to disregard or ignore all the rest. When we find someone attractive, we tend to assume they are wonderful in all sorts of other ways as well. This is called the Halo effect by psychologists. The Halo effect happens more easily with [[Long-distance relationships (MoC)|Long-distance Relationships]].
