instant, intense attraction is one of the less interesting romantic tropes for me -- or maybe not even instant attraction, I don't mind that, people do meet people and start flirting right away, that's in character for some people. I guess the real thing is that I'd like some time for the characters to get to know each other as people before they start to think 'oh no, this is the person I'm going to act out of character for.' Completely agree. Love at first sight is one of my least favorite tropes.
