Connections - are they instant or do they need some work?

There is a show on television called Long Lost Family where adults are reunited with a child up to 60 years later who was adopted at birth. Most people say they have an instant connection with their birth parent, child or sibling.

Sometimes people don’t feel that connection at all or at first.

Is it possible to build a connection or must they be formed instantly? What does it mean when someone says they feel an instant connection? When you sense a connection with another, do they feel it too? 

Have you never felt this instant connection but it was not reciprocated? How would you describe this intense feeling?

Have you never felt an instant attraction to family or strangers? Is a connection that doesn’t come easily able to be built on over time?

Moodscopers share your thoughts on feeling connections with others.
