Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection?
Every now and then those rare people enter your life and you feel a strong connection to someone you barely know.
It can seem like instant chemistry with somebody or even an unexplainable connection.
It might seem so puzzling or intense that you are questioning whether they feel it too, or if you are imagining the whole thing.
Here are 17 undeniable signs that it’s not just in your head, and yes, you really do have an instant connection with someone you’ve just met.
1) There’s intimacy already
Intimacy is way more than simply on a physical level, so I’m not talking about anything sexual here.
It exists in emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and shared experiences way too.
It’s such an important part of building any relationship and without it, the connection is more likely to remain at a superficial level.
If you feel an intimacy with someone straight away, that’s a pretty big deal.
For most people who enter our lives, they must earn this intimacy, but if it just seems to come naturally, it’s a strong indication that you are experiencing an instant connection.
This intimacy may appear in feeling comfortable sharing details of your life with them or telling them things you wouldn’t reveal to just anyone.
It could also show up in lots of seemingly small or insignificant little ways — things like sharing your food or removing fluff off their jacket.
It just feels natural to be around them.
2) It’s easy to be yourself
Whether we realize it or not, to a certain extent we all wear masks (some of us more than others).
There are certain expectations of us and from a young age, we learn the unwritten rules of social interactions and engagement.
In different situations, it’s common to put on a different mask.
There may be a mask for when you are at work, a mask for when you are meeting someone’s parents for the first time, a mask for when you are with friends, and so on.
So the more you can be yourself from the very start, the more it signifies that this person is someone you feel connected to.
With that being said, letting down your guard and being vulnerable around someone is a big step to take.
3) A gifted advisor confirms it
The signs above and below will give you a good idea of whether you have a genuine connection with someone you’ve just met.
But a surefire way to know for sure is to speak with a real gifted advisor.
However, I know how important it is to stay away from fake “experts”
That’s why I recommend Psychic Source. They provided me a unique insight into where my life should go, including who I was meant to be with.
Having tried several online advisors, I think they’re the most caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable psychic network out there.
Not only will a genuine advisor tell you if the spark you’re experiencing has a future, but they can reveal all your love possibilities.

4) You get a rush from being around them
Maybe you’ve only met them once but you haven’t stopped thinking about them since.
You could feel like you almost get a bit drunk, just from being in their company.
Those feel-good hormones are pumping around your body and leaving you on a high.
Just like all substances that have this effect on us, chances are you want more — and pronto.
All that adrenaline might leave you feeling like you’ve just stepped off a rollercoaster, and you can’t wait to get in line for another ride.
So if you’re feeling inexplicably joyful, buzzing and craving more of them — it’s a sure-fire sign that you’ve been hit with instant chemistry.
5) You’re vibing
Vibing is more than just getting along with someone, it runs deeper to our energetic core.
A vibe is defined as “transmitting or giving out a feeling or atmosphere.”
How do you know if someone feels a connection with you too? A vibe (although hard to define) is a great indication.
You, me and everything in our world is essentially pulsating energy taking physical form.
As scholar Tam Hunt writing in Scientific America put it, this resonance between us is at the heart of not only human consciousness but all of our physical reality too:
“All things in our universe are constantly in motion, vibrating. Even objects that appear to be stationary are in fact vibrating, oscillating, resonating, at various frequencies.
Resonance is a type of motion, characterized by oscillation between two states. And ultimately all matter is just vibrations of various underlying fields.”
Everything resonates at a different frequency and you might feel like you’ve met someone who is on your wavelength.
And perhaps with good (scientifically explainable) reason:
“An interesting phenomenon occurs when different vibrating things come into proximity: they will often start, after a little time, to vibrate together at the same frequency. They “sync up,” sometimes in ways that can seem mysterious.”
If you are feeling the vibes between you, there may be far deeper and magnetic forces at play.
Do soulmates know when they meet? It certainly seems like it.
6) They spark your curiosity
Life is all about evolution.
On an individual level, from the moment you are born you begin a journey of growth.
That is mirrored in the world around you and the whole Universe too — which scientists believe is ever-expanding.
One of the essential building blocks of growth is curiosity.
We need to have our imagination sparked so that we feel the desire to learn, share and develop.
The relationships we create with one another are a powerful way to do this.
If this person who you’ve just met interests and intrigues you — it is a sign that they can help you to grow.
The fact that they are capable of promoting this expansion within you is a testament to the connection that exists between you.
7) The silences are comfortable
Every one of us has had those “cut the tension with a knife” kind of moments.
And we’ve all experienced the peace that comes from spending time with someone when you no longer feel the pressure to fill all the gaps with conversation.
It’s usually something that develops as the bond between two people strengthens — and along with it the comfort level.
But there are rare times when we don’t even need to work towards this, and it happens very quickly.
You may not have experienced any comfortable silences yet, simply because you’re so excited by each other’s company that you just have so much to say.
But you might still know that you could quite happily sit in their company, enjoying their energy and that would be enough.
8) They’re your soulmate
If you have an instant connection with someone, it’s possible they’re your soulmate.
But how do you know for sure? How do you know they’re the one person you’re meant to be with?
Let’s face it:
We can waste a lot of time and energy with people who ultimately we’re not compatible with. Finding your soulmate isn’t exactly easy.
However, I’ve just stumbled upon a way that removes all the guesswork… a professional psychic artist who draws a sketch of what your soulmate looks like.
Even though I was a bit skeptical at first, my friend convinced me to try it out a few weeks ago.
Now I know exactly what my soulmate looks like. The crazy part is that I recognized this person right away.
If you want to know what your soulmate looks like too, get your own sketch drawn here.
9) You complement one another
What you bring to the table goes perfectly with what they bring to tenehe table.
You’re like spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread…or something far more romantic sounding than that — but you get the idea.
It may be that you find that you have loads in common and are like two peas in a pod.
Or that actually you are quite different, but those differences enhance each other’s traits in the best ways, rather than clash.
In a world of over 7 billion people, clearly, not everyone will be for us.
But when you do meet someone who can be the peanut butter in your PB & J sandwich — then it’s no wonder you sense it straight away.
10) It feels effortless
I’m sure we’ve all been stuck in the hell that is forcing small talk with someone we really have zilch to say anything to **shudders just thinking about it**.
It can feel almost painful right?
We know when we’re not clicking with someone because it feels like wading through sticky mud — heavy and a lot of effort for very little progress.
But on the other hand, meeting someone we feel an instant connection with is like skipping through a meadow on a sunny summers day.
It’s a joy and it feels light and easy.
There is no need to force or push it, it has a life of its own and the momentum effortlessly carries you forward.
You’ve heard the idea that time is relative?
According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, the rate at which time passes depends upon your reference.
This is why a trip to the dentist can feel like an eternity but an entire weekend away with friends seems to go by in the blink of an eye.
In other words, time flies when you’re having fun.
So the chances are that time spent with your new connection passes all too quickly and you’re left wondering where on earth the hours have gone.
11) You know they are for keeps
There are some friends or lovers who we meet and even though there’s no way of knowing this — we just instantly do know that they will be a part of our lives from here on in.
Call it what you will — destiny, fate, a meeting of soulmates, or just a happy coincidence — you already sense that this bond is too strong to be disposable.
I’ve had it a few times in my life, and I’ve always been right.
That chemistry, alliance and togetherness that you feel leave you with the belief that they are going to be around for many years to come.
That’s because deep down we know that meetings like this don’t happen every day — they are special — and we can see that from the start.
12) You don’t question it
Sure, part of you wants to check whether they feel it too, or how you know if there really is a spark between you — but another part of you already kind of knows the answer.
When you experience an instant connection it’s usually so obvious and perhaps even all-consuming that it doesn’t leave much time to feel insecure.
You’re too busy basking in its glow.
Sometimes when we meet people we worry so much about what they think of us or the type of impression we are making on them.
But every now and then when you get caught up in an instant connection, you don’t have time to stress about these kinds of things in the same way.
Even if your overthinking mind questions it, deep down in your core you know that you feel what you feel and that they probably feel it too. Both of your behaviour towards one another makes it fairly clear.
So even though as the relationship progresses it’s natural for some insecurities and doubts to pop up, after that first meeting you’re not sitting around wondering if they really liked you too, because you already know it.
13) They feel familiar
There are some people who you meet where it feels like you have known them for ages — even though your paths have only just crossed.
Why do we feel so at ease and familiar with some people?
And can you really tell if you like someone when you meet them for the first time?
The truth is that we are all very good at reading people, even if you don’t think of this as being especially true — for example, maybe you’ve had some disastrous relationships in the past that have left you seriously questioning your judgement.
But your subconscious mind is an expert at quickly taking onboard and processing lots of information to feed to your conscious mind — which then makes a judgement about a person.
We may not find people very often who feel at home, but when we do we naturally and quickly gravitate towards them.
Behind the scenes, your subconscious mind is noticing all the complexities that make you like someone, and so you instinctively know that they are one of your kind.
It could be that you are picking up on shared values, shared backgrounds and experiences or even similar family dynamics.
All of which gives you that sense that you understand this person and vice versa.
But if you want more clarity on this, I’d suggest speaking to a gifted advisor at Psychic Source.
I mentioned them earlier. They have helped me out in the past and I’ve always found them honest and compassionate in their readings.
So instead of trying to deal with uncertainties or overwhelming emotions on your own, speak to an advisor who’ll give you the guidance that you need.

14) You’re honest
Isn’t it the biggest breath of fresh air when you don’t feel the need to play games, pretend to be something you’re not and can be honest with someone?
You may open up about things you normally wouldn’t. For some reason, it just feels safe to.
The funny thing is, even though it’s what all of us desire the most from our relationships, we also often spend a lot of time hiding from it.
For the simple reason, that vulnerability is scary.
With true honesty, there can be the ever-present fear in the back of your head that you may be rejected.
So, we decide it is better to hide than risk being truly seen and found lacking in some way.
That’s why feeling like you can be truthful, sincere and genuine with somebody is a great reflection of the bond between you.
And it’s even rarer to find straight away, so definitely is a sign of an instant connection.
15) It’s reflected in your body language
Particularly if it’s a romantic or sexual instant connection you feel, all that chemistry is bound to show through your body language.
After all, experts agree that 70 to 93 percent of all communication is nonverbal.
That means despite only just meeting, there could be lots of eye contact, direct touching or flirtatious gestures.
Because not all of us are great at flirting (especially if we’re feeling intimidated) it can also manifest in more uncomfortable body language — like appearing shy, blushing, or finding it difficult to hold a gaze.
How do you know if there is a spark between you?
Look for signs of ‘out of the ordinary’ body language (at either end of the spectrum) that indicate you to are totally feeling all the feels for one another.
16) Everybody else disappears
It’s not that you’re trying to ignore everybody else in the room, but when you feel an instant connection with one person it can feel like everyone just melts away.
The energy between you two most likely has you tucked away in some quiet corner deep in chat.
If you’re getting on like a house on fire then other people might find it difficult to join in because the conversation takes on a life of its own.
Your eyes, attention, and awareness are fully on one another.
17) You get butterflies
We call it a gut feeling for a reason.
When you are hit with the excitement and energy of an instant connection with someone who you have just met, it can give you a fluttering feeling in your tummy.
On a physical level, the blood vessels around your stomach and intestines constrict and the digestive muscles contract.
That drop in blood flow gives the sensations of fluttering almost like trapped winged insects — sounds less romantic when you put it like that.
It’s basically caused by a surge of adrenaline.
But it reflects the strong tie between your body and your mind.
Your body is reacting to the positive and exciting emotions you are feeling from being around this person.
Although you can feel this way meeting a new friend, it’s a far more common sensation with crushes.
A neuroscientist and author of “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life”, Dr. Daniel Amen told NBC News:
“Falling in love — or rather falling in lust — activates those pleasure centers housed in the basal ganglia which causes an immediate physiological response.
The heart beats fast, your hands will get cold and sweaty and you’re super-focused on that person. Your stomach will do somersaults.”
So, if your tummy is doing some serious backflips right now, you know that you have an instant connection.
In conclusion
Hopefully, the signs above will shed some light on whether you have an instant connection with someone you just met.
But if there’s a part of you that still wants to know more, I recommend speaking to a genuine, professional advisor.
And there’s one company that I always end up recommending; Psychic Source. Not only did they blow me away with their accurate readings, but they were also kind and understanding of my situation.
So if you’re tired of wondering if this connection is real, get in touch with a legit love advisor and take your future into your own hands. I did, and I’ve never looked back since.
