Have you ever looked across a crowded room, felt an instant connection, and known deep down that you had found the person you would one day marry? Well, then, perhaps you have experienced love at first sight! In this Simplified Speech episode, Andrew and Jeremy act as your Cupid guides, discussing the ins and outs of romance and love at first sight.

Fun facts

The validity of love at first sight is a much-debated issue: is it truly love, is it lust, or is it simply a strong attraction to another person? Whatever the case, studies have been done on the subject and some common facts have come to light. First, men are more likely to say they have experienced love at first sight compared to women. Second, it is possible for people to have multiple “love at first sight” experiences, and the number increases drastically for those with traditional standards of beauty and attractiveness.
