Waiting for that "love-at-first-sight" kind of match...means you may miss out on an even better one.
When we are younger, we often dream of being married, what it will be like, who it will be with. If you were a child in the 80s and 90s you probably grew up dreaming of your Disney-style prince charming, or beautiful princess. There is a whimsical magic in those dreams that makes finding the "right" one seem beautiful and easy...as if that "right" person just falls out of the sky/tower/coffin/forest/castle right into our arms. Many children of the late 1900's have dreamed of this "love-at-first-sight" for years of our growing up lives. But is that really how true, lasting love works? Should we keep keeping our options open until we find this "instantaneous love?" What does science say about it? The science here is interesting to say the least.
