>Eileen giving examples of first glances:

>Anne of Green Gables: The first boy to come to her attention is 
Gilbert, and after looking around everywhere, who does she end up 
with?

>War and Peace: Pierre sees Natasha briefly at the party near the 
beginning, when she's still just a silly kid (and if you think Ginny 
is silly, look at Natasha Rostova!), duly notes it, and then they go 
off, mess their lives up with incredibly ill-conducted romances and 
poorly-planned career moves, but, despite everything, end up together. 

>David Copperfield: IIRC, Agnes Wickfield is one of the first girls to 
come into David's life. He barely thinks of her, except as a friend, 
until after his wife Dora dies, and then realizes he has loved her all 
the time, and they marry.

And although not precisely the same, Mercedes Lackey's Arrow trilogy - Dirk is the first Herald Talia sees, and the one she forms the lifebond with - indeed, it's even described as a 'very powerful bond' because he was the first she saw!
