Nastya Effect

The sudden, borderline-irrational infatuation a man develops after meeting a captivating Ukrainian woman named Nastya (short for Anastasia). Symptoms include spontaneous generosity, excessive day-dreaming, and learning random Ukrainian phrases overnight.

More broadly, any situation in which a single encounter with someone’s charm, humor, and Slavic swagger scrambles another person’s common sense.
