Love at first sight is a common trope in Western literature, in which a person, character, or speaker feels romantic attraction for a stranger on the first sight of them. Elaborated upon by poets and critics from the Greek world on, it has become one of the most powerful tropes in Western fiction. It is also considered "The most powerful type of Love"

Meeting someone for the first time and feeling deeply attracted to them. To the point of distraction they are in your thoughts constantly.

Wow I cant get (Insert Name) off my mind I think of her constantly. This must be Theia Mania, Divine Madness of The Gods.

"Basis in psychology
Research has shown two bases for love at first sight. The first is that the attractiveness of a person can be very quickly determined, with the average time in one study being 0.13 seconds. The second is that the first few minutes of a relationship have shown to be predictive of the relationship's future success, more so than what two people have in common or whether they like each other."

when anyone ... is fortunate enough to meet someone, they become so intoxicated with affection, and with love, that they constantly think of that person

Also referred to as Divine Madness.
