This is arguably the most popular trope in modern fiction. It provides built-in tension and a satisfying "thaw" as characters realize their preconceptions were wrong.

This is the "meet-cute." It is the moment the protagonist’s world is disrupted by a potential love interest. In Pride and Prejudice , it is when Elizabeth Bennet overhears Darcy’s arrogant dismissal. In When Harry Met Sally , it is the 18-hour car ride. The key here is tension . The spark doesn't always have to be positive; irritation and curiosity are often better catalysts than instant attraction.
