Matthew-Lingering-Effect

When one remembers a romantic encounter where they were told something nice. One will continue thinking about this encounter whenever given the opportunity. AKA it lingers in one’s heart.

This term was coined by the official rizz god, Matthew A. M.

“OMG, Brittney, I can’t stop thinking about him!”
“Yup, that’s the Matthew-Lingering-Effect for you…”
