Sometimes when I am browsing the internet, listening to the radio or reading newspapers, I encoutered several stories about love. SOme are testimonials about love at first sight. Do you believe on such? I believe in one thing: You cannot tell that you are in love to someone unless you know that person for a long time. How about you? Do you believe in love at first sight?

Hello, eynjel05.
No, I do not believe in love at first sight. I do believe that, when a man meets a woman (or vice-versa), one of them may have a strong crush. This crush is what motivates them to talk to each other. After they have known each other, no matter for how long, they can get together. If they do get together, what they feel may turn into love. But it is not something that appeared when they first looked at each other. It was something that was developed with time. Even if they are only friends. Or even if they got together on the first day, it is something that will only turn in love after one gains trust over another and they have known for a while.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

hello there...
as like you've said, i seriously don't believe love on first sight... because in order to love a person, you have to know what he/she likes and dislikes, is he/she compatible for each other, are the chemistry you both have is strong enough and a lot more... both people have to have a clear understanding on each other... but there are some people believe that love at first sight do exist... they said that he/she looks beautiful so they start to love them... they might look beautiful inside but who knows what's the character inside... there's a proverb, "Don't judge the book by its' cover"... i think this clearly explains why love at first sight is not true at all... try to understand first, make sure you both have a chemistry then express your love... that's the love process...

Yes, I got your point there. It's not easy to say that you were already inlove to the person at the very first time you saw him/her. Looks can be decieving as what they are saying..You really need to know someone better before you tell that you were inlove to that person.:-) Thanks for the response.. happy mylotting!

i don't believe in love at first sight, but if it was changed to "attraction at first sight", i would totally agree that it is possible.
when we meet people, we can be naturally attracted to them. it's only after you get to know them more that you can really start to love each other.
but i also believe that even if there is no "attraction at first sight", love can still be forged from being together for a long time. imagine you are working with a colleague. at first you take no special notice of her. but after getting to know her better through hanging out and working together, you start to like her. this liking then soon turns to love. i believe that can happen

I don't think love at first sight happens. Maybe physical attraction do but it's not love. How could you love a person you barely know?
I think that statement was used figuratively and what that person really meant was "I'm attracted to you."

well maybe you cant say "love"at first sight....but "like" or "interest"from first sight.sometimes you do meet people that you have feelings for the first you meet them...most of my ex bfs told me they liked me since the first time they met me.And none of my bfs were my friend before the relationship started.

I have seen and met a lot of people who claim to have fallen in love with each other instantaneously, known it right from the beginning and stuff like that, but I'm rather skeptical about the whole thing. At least it wouldn't work for me that way for I need to know a person and feel comfortable enough with her for me to even be able to pop the question and even if the other person pops the question, I take my own time to evaluate her before rushing ahead with an answer and putting the relationship in jeopardy.

I do not believe in love at first sight no, for me I believe more in lust at first sight! I think that the beginning of meeting someone can often be mistaken for love as I have done this a few times. I know that some people have experienced love at first sight and have been together for years but for me that has never happened and I think that I can only love someone when I have been with them a long time.

I don't think there is such a thing as love at first. Attraction at first sight maybe. But love takes time to grow. You cannot say you love a person without knowing a thing about that guy or girl. I think the "love at first sight" that people refer is merely a crush, an appreciation of the physical beauty.

I do not believe in love at first sight because love is a kind of feeling which needs to be developed first. It is better to say admiration at first sight but not love.It is likeness that one feels toward another person. And that likeness is because of the latter's physical appearance like his or her face, figure, height,etc.Love develops slowly and it means that for a person to be truly in love, he or she must spend time with him or her. He or she must know something on the person that will surely touch his or her heart, and from that develops love.

Some people claim that it happened to them and it was like you raise your head, meet those eyes and tell yourself “It is He/She!”. Psychologists say that love at first sight depends on our psychological state at the moment. In some case we won’t even notice those charming eyes in another they can make a lasting impression on as. Also they say that it takes about 30 seconds to fall in love or precisely speaking to estimate whether the person is worth to fall in love with. By the way psychologists claim that men fall in love first. When you fall in love at the first sight you are usually ready and willing to fall in love. Less possibility that it will happen if you are tired, stressed, solving problems in you mind. Of cause the main part in falling in love is given to the appearance, voice, gestures, smell. One person intuitively searches in the other the qualities and the feature to complete him/herself. Of causes beautiful people attract attention the most, but sometimes it’s wrong to fall in love with them easily.

in my personal opinion i don't think there is such thing as love at first sight, like what you said it takes time to know one. i think the right term to say is admiration at first sight maybe someone just mistakenly interpret his admiration to someone as love later on realilze that its not at all love but admiration instead.
