Love At First Sight

According to Dubrow, love at first sight is when you sense an instant connection to another person. "Some people describe it as pyrotechnics, while others describe it as times when nothing else mattered but seeing and talking to each other for the first time. It's the feeling you get when you don't want a moment to finish because you've never had such a connection with another person before."

In theory, glancing at someone for the first time can elicit a flood of emotions, but it's mainly lust or curiosity that captures attention. Love, on the other hand, is a complicated beast. Hitting a home run in your first Kentucky Derby is the stuff of dreams, metaphorically speaking. Meaningful partnerships frequently necessitate more innings, with compatibility determined by factors other than performance in the saddle. In Sleepless in Seattle, for example, Meg Ryan's character doesn't even require a visual signal. Instead, she dumps her fiancé and falls madly in love with Tom Hanks' voice. Sure, this '90s classic is undeniably charming, but it doesn't excuse questionable morals and speculative behavior.
