Physique of Speech: Something at First Something Else

We've all heard about "love at first sight" and I believe it exists. However, it's merely one of a multitude of emotions we subconsciously experience when we interact with someone for the first time. Here are some others that aren't as well known.

Good
Like at first look
Want at first witness
Romance at first regard
Arousal at first perusal
Smitten at first survey

Not so good 
Disappointment at first discovery
Indifference at first inspection
Confusion at first examination
Annoyance at first notice
Violent at first view

Bad
Split at first spot
Repulsion at first recognition
Vomiting at first monitoring
Suicidal at first scrutiny
Restraining order at first spy

Interesting
Puerile at first peep
Hunger at first ogle
Ovulation at first observation (for the ladies)
Erection at first detection (for the men, I hope)
Bedazzled at first behold (two meanings, substantial difference)
