Do you believe in love at first sight?

I think the notion of "love at first sight" is a product of Hollywood. People are too complex, and things are not always as they initially seem.

However, people have different definitions for love, too. So it also depends what the person means by "love".

 

I fall in love at first sight at least once a week! I guess that is why my Thai friends call me a butterfly 747!

Seriously, I do believe it can happen but it is a very rare occasion. James, you are lucky!

 

I don't personally believe in love at first sight. Maybe like at first sight but not really love at first sight. In my opinion, feeling of love needs to be developed for you to say that you are in love with that man or woman. If you saw a person of the opposite sex for the first time, you're not in love. Maybe you just feel that you like that person but not really love. If this is true, I would probably been in love to all of the woman that I saw lately, but it didn't happen. lol

 

In my experience I don't really believe in love at first sight. My girlfriend and I actually have known each other for long time. It was only that after I got the chance to her more that I really felt something especial towards her. Even after realizing that we still took time to get to know more each other before we decided to level up our relationship.

 

I do believe it's possible, but very rare — consider yourself one of the lucky ones if it happens. I don't really see it happening to me, but that's just because the things I find important probably aren't going to jump out at me at first sight; they're the sort of things it takes time to discover. I like to take my time with most anything, though, so this would really be no different. Even if I thought it had happened, I'd be the one to triple-check it.

 

I do believe that you can be attracted to some one the first minute that you see this person. However, I do not think that you can love someone whom you do not know at all. Love takes time to grow and to build its roots in your relationship. I know people who felt very attracted to someone the first minute they saw them, but later on discovered so many bad things about this other person which made them fall out of love with them.

To be attracted to someone is one thing, to love them is another and you have to differentiate between the two before you start any relationship with a stranger.

 

I believe that love at first sight does exist. Many lasting relationships have started this way.This doesn't mean though that they will all last. You can just see someone and the connection comes alive immediately. I believe it's the opposite of seeing someone and saying, my spirit doesn't connect with that person's.

 

I believe in infatuation at first sight, but not love, because to me love is a deeper and more complex feeling that can't definitely just pop out when you first see someone you don't even know. What happens, I believe, the person who claims has fallen in love at first sight... is just extremely attracted to the way the other person looks.
