We've all heard the cliche, but do you believe? If so, what do you base it on? Appearance, or is there something more? And if you don't... why?
Happened to me one time. It was much more than just appearance, in fact, that had little to do with it. There was just simply something so incredibly warm/welcoming/kind about him. He is, to this very day, the romantic love of my life. The interesting thing was that in addition to feeling such love so instantly, our relationship worked without "work." Never a fight, argument or harsh word between us. It was not only passionate, it was filled with deep contentment as well. I've never had those two things at one time with any other person. I don't believe this will ever happen again for me in my lifetime, but I'm grateful it happened once. JMO  | |

Posted: 6/25/2012 9:02:50 PM | | I am not too sure, I have a man I have hung out with only twice, he Seems to be in love with me. I mean the usual bf/gf stuff happens bit when I met him through a mutual friend he couldn't even speak to me, he was so nervous. Anytime he had something to say he'd tell my friend and she'd say it ( turn off). The thing is this guy is known to be a player. Well I had to let him down bc he was always going to my friend telling her how amazing I as how I changed him, I literally said one word to this kid. When I let him down it was 3 days after meeting me and he was crying. Then when he got home he was crying to my friend and she's just like do the usual thing you do and hook up with other girls and he just kept going on about how no one could compare to me etc,. At that point he had only seen my face twice. Now it is 8 months later, every now and then he tries to contact me to rekindle anything and it really doesn't work. He has been waiting for me even though I cut it off. I think this is obsession. | |

Posted: 6/25/2012 9:50:41 PM | | Maybe....subconscious desires meeting the perfect template perhaps. A flooding of oxytocin into the brain.....no, love is this idea that says, "I want to see you thru.". "stand by you when your world is ****ed up." | |

Posted: 6/28/2012 1:34:58 PM | | I can't stand that phrase. How can you love someone by just seeing them for the first time and not knowing anything about them? Oh, that's right, you can't. Love is so much more than the physical aspect of a relationship. I can't love someone I know nothing about, no matter how gorgeous I think they are. | |

You can hate the phrase all you want. All I can say is you don't know or understand, what you don't know. It may never happen to you and you will never understand, or someday it will happen, and then you'll say this is what they were writing about. | |

According to most relationships in the world, the first thing we see is a big, steaming pile of sh*t that actually looks like sweet chocolate, wether it be male or female | |

Have any of you ever been crazy enough to TELL the people you've "fallen in love with at first sight" that you loved them within seconds after meeting? | |

Some people can live with a quick decision. Many more cannot. | |

Posted: 6/29/2012 3:24:14 PM | | I loved my former husband from the first time I met him. We just suddenly seemed like us. We were married 18 years. Yes, I told him how I felt and he was the same. I don`t think it will happen again. | |

Posted: 6/29/2012 3:46:57 PM | I think I have felt hopeful enough to believe I could love them at first sight... but I realize it takes time to have true loving feelings.
Interestingly, most of those never pan out... but the guy that's just a friend from the beginning becomes more and more attractive to me as I get to know him better. | |

Posted: 6/29/2012 4:59:13 PM | | No question about it.......It is the ones like this that are the hardest to resist, because the initial attraction and chemestry was so great. Only happened to me once, but this is enough and I am still dealing with it..... | |

Posted: 6/29/2012 5:12:20 PM | | I must confess I have never experienced love at first sight. BUT,,,, having read many of the other posts that attest to experiencing love at first sight, I CAN acquiesce and say, yes, it may be possible. What an awesome memory is it really does exist.!! | |

Posted: 6/30/2012 3:24:59 AM | | Well, it might have been lust, but I know what I like when I see it. First time I saw my ex, I was riding by, she was standing out on the street in group, I yelled at my cousin to stop and back up, he thought I had spotted money laying on the ground. Actually, most of my relationships when I was a young man began as this love/lust at first sight. However, the one woman I think I was really in love with I worked right next to for five years and never knew she was there. She said she tried in vain to get me to notice her many times. She finally took the direct approach, coming right up to me and introducing herself, taking the opportunity to invite me to her home for dinner. Even then it took two years of casual meetings before anything happened. For a woman that went out of her way to appear as least as attractive as possible in public, when she was naked, she was an absolute goddess. | |

Posted: 6/30/2012 6:24:10 PM | Again, I ask all of the "love at first sight" believers...
And, again... I will ask the "love at first sight" believers this: If the person you "fell in love at first site" with had an accident and got killed after the 1st time y'all met......would that effect the rest of your life? Would it affect you so deeply that it would disrupts your life? For example....would you cry for weeks or months, would you miss work, etc. (like most people do when someone they ACTUALLY love dies) another words would you mourn their death? Or would you just be sad and temporarily devastated like when someone loses a pet? If people are being truthful, I would bet that no one would mourn the death of their "love at first site" right after meeting them....like they would or have mourned someone they actually did love. People use the word "love" way too loosely imo.
But I absolutely have experienced very strong feeling for someone early on.....it's almost like when the two of you first lay eye's on each other......you both KNOW.....and suddenly it seems like the whole world stops for just a minute and there's no one on it but the two of you. It certainly might feel like love, but it's not true love yet. | |

I believe you have stated what I have posted earlier in the thread. It appears, the major difference most have with the term "love at first sight", is regarding the definition of "love". Like everything on this planet, there is a birth. And seeing someone that you have a powerful attraction toward where it seems like "the world stops" - is that not the birth of "love"?
Where it goes from there is dependent of numerous factors, however, the possibly of a loving relastionship did exist. Like any newborn, the relationship is fragile, and if not nurtured, it can parrish, creating non-believers. Life is a series of choices, one can choose to love, or choose not to. Just because one chooses not to open a door, does not indicate that the oportunity did not present itself. | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 5:32:45 PM | To OP,
I could find strong attraction at first sight; however, love at first sight doesn't exist for me. In order for me to love someone, I would have to spend a long time getting to know that person.
It depends on what your definition of "love" though, my understanding of love with a person is having compatibilities, attractions on both personality and appearance, etc; all of them require time to look into, first sight just wouldn't do the trick. | |
