Its not about love at first sight, but I don't know why anyone would purposely spend time with someone and have romantic intentions toward them if they don't feel any chemistry with them. It just doesn't make sense to me.
If it happens organically without realizing it, that is great, but it isn't realistic in the modern world. There is no place outside of work (not acceptable to date there) where I spend time with the same person or people week after week after week, and there likely never will be. Not socializing (even then, dating a friend of a friend is a no go in my book, and how often would one see such a person without making the effort to say "invite so and so", once every couple of months?), not at a club, not through volunteer efforts or alumni group actions... no where.
The largest amount of people that I know that married and/or have LT s/os met and had instant chemistry that they explored, often immediately.

Yes, I've had that happen to me a couple of times.
In fact, the person I am most interested in right now is a prime example of that. I met her almost nine years ago at a bar, and I really wasn't interested. We've sort of done a mutual dance over the years ... she would disappear for a while, then come back again.
About a year ago she came back again after being gone for a year, and we hit it off again. Now we're spending a few hours with each other every week, and our interactions are getting more and more intimate.
Will we end up dating? Who knows? I just enjoy her company. But part of me hopes so. I like her. :-)
Is that a problem? You aren't supposed to give every single human that crosses your path a date and being single is not like having a deadly disease.
I think people on this forum expect you to ask out every woman you see or else you'll be single forever. I don't ask out every woman I see in public because I'm not attracted to most women I see. Lord knows we don't have anything else to do lol.
I see it happen within my office damn near everyday of the week.
I have experienced others attach themsleves to me without any motivation or actions on my end as well.
I view it as nature selection at work and a reminder we are all animals at the end of he day. Proximation plays a huge role in what we attach oursleves to.
By that I mean at first meet, he or she is, well, just another person. You've most likely never looked at them a second time - even if you did, you friend-zoned the person..
But as time passes, you find yourself becoming interested in him or her. slowly. Before you realize it, you're striking up a conversation, getting to know them better. Eventually, you're asking them out to coffee, lunch, or even dinner.
Experiences?
Yes. In fact I just saw her today. When I first met her, I didn't see her in that way, but she was the one that has always came to me and was there for me.
Something in her personality and all of the times I'm doing things for her is what made me fall for her. I'm a provider at heart.
Another misleading title, how disappointing. I was hoping for juicy stories.
