Controversial opinion: I love romances that involve love at first sight and think there should be more stories that feature it. It's perfectly fine for someone to feel an intense and immediate connection with someone. It's romantic to suddenly have your world upended by one glance at another person. They can still get to know each other later. Or they can be the type of person who's willing to take responsibility and use the strength of that immediate connection to care for the other person. There's a lot of potential in the trope that gets overlooked.
