We have given up on the idea, and we are now happy with having dinner<\/a> by ourselves in front of a TV, watching our favourite show. And BAM! it hits\u00a0us, love at first sight. First, we reproach ourselves for falling into the trap. This idea of suddenly being unable to resist a random guy, somebody who could be made for us, what claptrap! The big girl that we are is not going to believe in miracles.<\/p>

\"This sensation of immediate complicity comes less from supernatural than from a very real internal concoction, from our own representations which\u00a0echo our fantasies. Love at first sight can\u00a0thus be explained\u00a0rationally,\" says Dr.\u00a0Philippe Brenot, psychiatrist and couple therapist. One day, we meet our dark side<\/a>, this wild side that we didn't even suspect its\u00a0existence. More than with the ideal man, it is a date with ourselves. It is not because we became an iron lady that we do not have any more desires for love and for unconscious secrets.<\/p>

We harden ourselves, discipline ourselves, with a lot of bitterness and distrust. But it is exactly in this under-surveillance desert that such\u00a0love is going to appear. \"When we are not any more waiting, or planning a\u00a0strategy, we can finally let ourselves be charmed by somebody,\u201d explains\u00a0trans-generational psychoanalyst\u00a0Juliette Allais, and the chances are high that this man will not be our usual type.<\/p>

Something in him is going to reveal an image of the male that pleases us. When we look for nothing, neither the man of our life<\/a>, or the father of our children, we become Zen, and more honest. And it has a magnetic effect on males. And it has a lively effect on ourselves as well: Here we are, ready to live fully a wild love story in 3D.<\/p>
