It doesn't really exist, except in movies. I know it couldn't happen to me. I may be interested in a person, her voice, her presence, and something about the way she looks may make me feel a certain way. But in order to fall in love I would have to know more about the person.
For me the point is moot now because I'm married!

i know it happens but its not always love at first sight sometime its lust at first sight. personaly for me i try not to let it happen to me. i've had it happen just to come to find out that she wasnt anything tht i wanded to be with. she just ended up using me for wht i had and when she found someone better or had more them me she broke up with me for him. this like this have cause me to be a person tht dosent belive in love with out trust. i wonder how people know the difference between love at first sight and lust at first sight. there purty much the same feelings. i just dont understand how someone can fall in love with someone they dont know anything about. thats why i think its more lust then love.

I do not believe in love at first sight, I believe that love develops over a period of time. However, I do believe at lust at first sight and this lust can develop into love at a later date.

I think a person has attraction at first site but since love involves accepting and knowing everything about a person it is impossible to have love at first site. While the attraction may lead to eventual love a person can not know enough about another by looks alone to love them unless they are extremely shallow and just want someone for their looks. In that case, would you want to be with that person?

In my opinion, there is no such thing as Love at first sight. When you first see someone, you will never feel in Love with him/her. You can like him/her, feel crazy about him/her, but never fall in Love. That feeling is not Love, it's just admiring or like someone. Love is deeper than just crazy about someone's physical appearance. Love comes by process not just instantly exist in sudden.

I think love at first sight is over-rated. It's actually attraction at first sight - just doesn't sound as good! Now if you ask me if i believe in attraction at first sight then yes! I meet my 6years husband through my then at the time boyfriend. I didnt break up with my boyfriend for him. I didnt even think we'd be suited. That attraction at first sight was the basis of our relationship. Love developed later when i got to really know him and it became the core of our relatioship. but when things get tough and i get to the point of asking myself why i am with him - i know the answer is because i was attracted to him the very first time i saw him and he taught me to love him and showed me what it's really like to be loved.

I really don't believe in "love at first sight". You can feel instant attraction or an instant connection with someone but the only time that love will set in is when you've really gotten to know the person and you've decided that you want to be with that person regardless of the flaws he or she has. That's the only time it can be called love. However, it's a cute thing to hear from your wife/husband or loved one that you had them at "hello".

In cases when people claim they fell in love at first sight, it may just be a case of strong physical attraction. Love, in my opinion is a very complex emotion. It involves a great deal of acceptance.Sometimes people are together for quite some time and they can still be mistaken. How much more if you just first laid your eyes on someone? The emotion may just be a strong desire to get to know the other person.
When I first saw my husband, back when I was 16 yrs old, I know that I want to get to know him, he looks cool, carries himself well and I have heard that he is the engineering dept college representative. Yet I am 100% sure that I didnt fell in love with him then, it took me 9 months to figure it all out. And it took us 9 years to prepare ourselves for a lifelong commitment called marriage.

i dont believe at love at first sight. i dont think it is possible to fall in love to a person that you have just seen once and dont even know. I would personally want to get to know the person better, date her, talk to her before i can actually say that i love her.

i guess i you see a very beautyful face and fall in love at frist sight then its just infatuatuion... n love for beauty... but if you fall in love with a normal or very normal looking face...then it is love at first sight...
