I was reading Malcom Gladwell's Blink, which is about the the power of intuition and first impressions. I have heard somewhere that a woman decides whether she would sleep with a guy within 40 seconds of meeting him. On the whole the book truly reassures me that true love is like I believed, love at first sight, something which is created when you know virtually nothing about the person. When days proceeds our intuition is vindicated by our experience with her.
Love is not which is something that should be proved, it should be felt the moment you see your soul mate, every relationship other than that is mere business.

She doesnt. She doesnt decide within the next 40 seconds of meeting a guy if she would sleep with him.
SHe doesnt even THINK about that in the first 40 seconds.. let alone decide. Bull theories.

@Aparna : I donno whether u would think of sleeping with a guy or plan to do scuba diving with him in Macau. I think the basic point is that you make an impression about him/her, this impression would be the cornerstone for your future interactions. This is not an exclusive thing about women, but about most human beings.
Finally if you want me to show how deep your prejudices are go to https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/
Choose your nationality
Take a test and see for yourself.

Clap clap.. Hari comes up with his first joke.
Unless its a charging rhino or a guy with a dagger staring at you.. I dont think the Barney lemon law is any good.
For example.. Hari seemed decent at first.. but IS HE? :P

Barney's Lemon Law does not work...We all know but, but love can happen instantly, not by hours of reflection.
Read my post the Snow, excerpts by Pamuk. Dont want to repeat it here.
