Love At First Sight

I met my husband while dating someone else. When I walked into the house, we have both said that there was "something" we felt when we first saw each other. I can't explain it. We didn't see each other for over a year, but when he found out I was going to visit a mutual friend, he made sure he was there. Seeing as I was single now. It's been 12 years worth of history now..LOL I don't know if it was "love" at first site so to speak, but it was definitely something that we both felt.

i don't know about love at first sight, but thanks to the internet there is a new phenomenon called love at first chat.

I do not believe in love at first sight. I believe that there is instant ATTRACTION, however. We can be instantly attracted to someone-- we can think that this is someone that we would really like to get to know and stay with for a long time. But that doesn't make it love. I think when we tell someone we just started dating that we "love" them, what we're really trying to do is express how much we like them. It's hard to do, actually. If you really like someone and want to continue to be with that person-- and these feelings can happen very quickly, it would sound a bit odd to just say "I really like you." Saying "I love you" expresses something more... Logically, it shouldn't, perhaps-- but when you hear the word "like" with someone you're dating, sometimes it can come off like they AREN'T that into you. So, we use love, even when it isn't necessarily the truth. Of course, this is going by my definition of love. It's one of those ambiguous terms that is relative to the individual. For me, love is about time and commitment. My definition involves time, so it would be impossible for me to believe that love can happen instantly. I believe that, in order for there to be love, in the romantic sense, the couple must have had time to know each other, to be come devoted to one another, and to show their commitment to the relationship. Actually, what you described at the end is how I think love should be-- staying together, encountering difficulties, and working through them. To me, that is the essential component of love. Working through problems-- working with each other to overcome these problems. And becoming stronger for it. With that view, I do not think that love can happen at first sight. Attraction, yes. Liking, yes. You can intensely like someone and want to get to know them-- the beginnings of love can form instantly. But only that. The stage may be set, but people need to KNOW each other. Open up and share themselves with each other. That's when love begins to truly develop. It takes a lifetime for love to grow. It never actually stops growing.

I never came across this feeling. I mean love at the first sight. Obviously I am in love, but our love grew after one or two meetings, and then gradually the bond strengthened. Thus I cannot comment very well on this. I heard many of my friends talking about it, and many agree that it really happens. But I always believe that it is not much practical concept. It is never true love, but the infatuation and attraction, that people misunderstand as love. But in many cases this infatuation turns into love, and then such a couple often believes that they had love at first sight. But that is just my belief, and I do not want to hurt anyone's sentiments.

I don't think it is love at first sight. There could be love after first sight maybe. Lol. Love at first sight indicates you fell inlove with the way someone looks. And we all know love is deeper than looks.There has to be more substance than beauty. SO maybe after you see them and feel the initial attraction you get to know thema bit, then you can fall in love. I know there is lust at first sight. I dated my now husband out of spite for someone else. I was too young for lust or love. BUt as the years went by, I thught about love at first sight. But for us no. We grew into love from friends. I like it better that way. I appreciatet he love more having such a good foundation than a moments attraction. Just me and my thoughts.

hi. i would like to share my story with you. i was in 10th class when i was in love for the first time. it was love in first sight but i never took courage to tell her that i love her and when my 12th board exams were over my friends went and told her that i was behind her for 3 years and since then we are toghether

I do not belive in love at first sight. I belive that u need to know a persons good and bad qualities before you can actually truly love them, and that u do not at the first look. attraction is possible - but it is shallow =)

My boyfriend says that loved from the very first moment he met me. I on the other hand, did not. It took me a few months to fall in love with him. We are living together and we are happy with each other. I don't believe in love at first sight because that's not the way it works for me. However, it does work for some people.

Love at first sight happens to many people but i think the love which happens in the first sight is not real love its just an attraction towards them...it wil not stay for months

Our is love at first sight. Why? Because when I met him, I knew "he is the one I will marry." You see, I had a few boyfriends before I met him but I saw a lot of defects in them. But with my husband, everything did not matter anymore, only my love for him. I learned to accept him for what he is, and that is LOVE.

i do believe that it happens though i hvent experienced it.. my cousin was happily married with 3 kids because of what we call love at first sight.. very romantic..
