Anyone who has felt this instant attraction describes the experience as dramatic, intense and overwhelming. As psychologist Linda Blair says: 'The feeling can make you feel unbelievably alive. It can knock you flat in any situation, and you shouldn't view it with suspicion.

I thought, I could do with a man like that. He looks happy but thoughtful. I could spend my life with someone like him.’ The feeling was mutual and a few minutes later he came over to talk to her. ‘I said to myself, “Yes. From now on you only say yes”. Since then I’ve never stopped saying yes to him.’

Instead we need to cultivate a genuine feeling of being available without necessarily wanting anything to happen. ‘Everyone could potentially feel the connection of instant love, even those who don’t consciously want to,’ says psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Didier Lauru. ‘But some conditions need to be in place, and these have nothing to do with the desire to experience these emotions’. When Louise, 37, met Patrick in Hong Kong, she didn’t have the least intention of falling in love. ‘I’d just begun a round-the-world trip with a friend,’ she says. ‘I really wasn’t looking for an emotional attachment. I wanted to have fun, to discover new places. I wanted to travel. We were at the beginning of our journey and I felt very available, very free. I went to a bar with my friend, and his flatmate Patrick walked in. From the moment I set eyes on him, I heard a little voice in my head saying something I always think is ridiculous when I hear other people saying it – “I want him”. He seemed strangely familiar. He sat down beside me and ordered two beers, announcing that he intended to get really drunk. We drank, we talked. We kissed, I think. I don’t really remember very clearly. We left together in a taxi, both drunk. On the way back to my hotel he patted me on the leg, laughing, and said, “I need to marry someone like you”.’ Then the taxi dropped Louise at her hotel. The next day, she left with her friend. ‘I wasn’t sad, I just told myself that if it was meant to happen, it would.’

Ten years later we are still living together and have two children.’ Given this idyllic scenario, who wouldn’t want to experience love at first sight? Yet such an instant connection doesn’t guarantee a long and happy relationship, something many psychologists often warn us about. ‘I would say it’s more lust at first sight – it’s physical attraction, which is fine, but real love takes longer to develop,’ says Blair. ‘We feel love at first sight when we believe we have met someone who understands us,’ says Gori. Whether they do or not is less significant. ‘I felt as though I was lost and someone came along to tell me where I was,’ writes the French surrealist André Breton. ‘When we experience love at first sight we idealise the other person,’ explains Lauru. ‘We feel certain that this person will complete us’. We are also, Lauru believes, drawn back to our earliest unconscious memories; the physical connection between mother and newborn when they first gaze at one another. It is probably the rarity of love at first sight that makes it even more desirable. Lauru says if we experience it even once in our lifetime, we’ll be lucky. And if that chance encounter leads to a lasting relationship, even luckier.
