Regarding love at first sight ...... I don't agree that it is "always" this way in Tolkien. The prime example we have to the contrary is Eowyn and Faramir. Also, although we do not know the details of Sam's relationship with Rosie, one gets the impression that it may have developed slowly over trips to the swimming hole and other normal activities of daily life. That would seem to fit in more with their personalities.
