The idea of "love at first sight" is kind of silly when you think about it. Nothing starts out as a full blooming, solid emotion - it needs to grow before you can really get anything out of it. The thing is, though, that people usually say "instant chemistry" or something to indicate sexual attraction, rather than romantic attraction. It's kind of weird that the question's phrasing it in more long-term ways.
I've tried giving other people second chances romantically and it usually ends in about the same way that it did the first time. It's not really quantum physics, there. Unromantically, second chances usually end badly because there's a lingering bitterness over whatever happened that made you two stop being friends. It's not the best, but it happens.
The first person I dated in the Academy wasn't exactly my type, but they grew on me, so I guess that's a yes.
These writer's blocks are pretty interesting for when you're trying to get some sleep and can't. Good way to wind down.
