Honestly...I don't believe falling in love at first sight. Well.. at least it won't work for me? Do you? I believe in potential in first sight but not love. For me, to love someone you have to know them. Nowadays, love at first really too dangerous, you don't know he/she is a dangerous person or not... But I'm sure out there still have a lot couple falling at the first sight, are you one of them? If not, do you believe it?

I think it happens sometimes, I believe if you meet your soulmate which I believe very few do, there is an electricity, to the point of an electric shock and that can be the meeting of two people who are meant eo begether....I know this as it happened to me when I was sixteen, and I never could forget this person and we didn't really get together for quite a few years later, it does happen....

Hopefully you will, I don't think many do as they mistake ordinary love which you can love many and the desire some people have of getting married sometimes they just don't wait long enough for that special person.

I believe in lust at first sight, attraction at first sight, even a connection at first sight. But love at first sight, no. Love is a very deep, very emotional, and very involved feeling. You cannot truly love someone until you know them. You fall in love with someone for their heart, their soul, their inner beauty. Not only physical. That is all you get at first sight. The physical attraction. So no, I do not believe in love at first sight.

well,I don't believe falling in love at first sight too.That includes too much for uncertain.As a love ,it 's necessary for both of lovers to know deeply each other.There are many cases that both of lovers fall in love at first sight with the rusult that they separated in the end.
For me,before I fall in love with someone,I will first know her deeply. lol......
have a nice day!

To me love is very deep and profound , it is something that grows over time, not an instant thing but something that grows over the years. With this in mind, no i dont believe in love at first sight but i do believe, like you, in the potential
blessed be

Yes - actualy I do! When I met my partner I just looked at him and thought - "I want to spend the rest of my life with that guy!" - and we're still together over 20 years later! OK - I guess some people would just call that lust - and maybe they would be right, because you can't just look at someone and know them well enough to truly know what kind of a person they are at first glance - all you really see is the physical, and yet there was somehow an electricity or a chemistry that made me know he was the one, and he says he felt the same!

I agree that love only follows later when you know the person more. Upon first sight there could be infatuation. That's what gets my attention. Then I try to get to know her better. Then I decide to pursue her. At that point, it's love.

NO, unequivacally "NO." There is no such thing as "love" at first sight. There is lust at first sight and chemistry / attraction at first sight but love is something that is developed over time and eventually is a commitment to another person if it is really love. Now, people can fall in love within a few weeks but that is simply emotional love. The love that lasts for years is something that isn't based on how you feel at the moment. It's based on commitment and trust and a decision to love regardless of circumstances or momentary feelings.
Too many people make supposed commitments to each other based on an emotional type love and that is foolish because if you don't have the decision to love, the emotional stuff will ultimately fade.
That's why people divorce because they've grown apart because they never really made that committed love decision in the first place.
If anyone says they have fallen in love at first sight, they are either lying to themselves or to those around them or both. No one can love someone by sight. That's just the flesh attraction. There is a big difference between a fleshly attraction and love that develops over time.

I think you are right bcoz nowadays it is really very hard to believe any person,bcoz he/she can betray you any time and any moment.
