Love at first sight is such a fascinating scientific (and not just literary) phenomenon. cnn.com/travel/article… It's possible to imagine evolutionary origins for this experience. Its often reciprocated nature is an important clue.
Here is another recent example in the news (among many "Woodstock" couples; here Judy and Jerry Griffin): people.com/human-interest…
I think there are important environmental triggers to the love-at-first-sight phenomenon (including a heightened sense of expectation), and not just biological underpinnings, of course.
Yet, even more interesting (at least to me) is the potential evolutionary origin of "like at first sight." Its existence is part of the story about the evolutionary origins of our unusual (among animals) capacity for friendship, as shown in #BLUEPRINTbook. amazon.com/Blueprint-Evol…
I had love at first sight with @ErikaChristakis. :-)
