And what I like about that is in our single study that we do, we ask about love at first sight fairly often.

And this last year in our study, we found that the belief in love at first sight was up to about 60%.

So about 60% of singles said they believe in this concept of love at first sight.

That's up from about a decade ago, only about a third, I think it was 34%, said that they had believed in love at first sight 10 years earlier.

So why has that number increased so much?

That we don't know why it's increased.

But I think that on the one hand, that 60% of singles today believe in love at first sight.

On the one hand, I think it's romantic and it's cute.

On the other hand, I actually think it can also be concerning.

I'm a bit cautious about it because it also means that a lot of people are expecting that.

They're expecting that

for me to find love, for me to really be attracted to someone, I need to walk in the room and have this sense, this feeling that I've been knocked off my feet by someone across the room.

And that's not how most relationships start.

That's not, although we feel that feeling,

having that feeling doesn't mean that you're going to have a healthy relationship with that person.

It doesn't mean you're going to have a satisfying sexual experience with that person.

It just means you feel drawn to someone.

And I think too often people infer what that would mean for love and connection.

But in fact, our studies show over 70% of people have become attracted to someone they weren't initially attracted to.

Over a third have fallen in love with someone they weren't initially attracted to.
