Summary
Is that really my soul-mate across the room?! Go on, admit it. You’ve asked yourself this question before. Most of us have been struck by the electric sensation of powerful instant attraction. You lock eyes, the music rises, butterflies take flight in your stomach, and you just know. But is it love? Or is it just good old lust -- mixed with a little imagination and a whole lot of wishful thinking? Well, that’s our question today. Does ‘love at first sight’ really exist? To find some answers, Nikki and Malone explore the possibilities with relationship expert Dr. Marisa Cohen, and interview an amazing love struck couple who have a love at first sight story to share.
New episodes come out every Thursday.
