Hi my fellow Mylotters, Here is a very intruiguing question that has been pestering me for quite a long long time. Do you really think that love at first sight really exists? Did you ever feel that way? Do you ever feel on looking at a Guy/Gal that you two were made for each other and you are soul mates? are all these really true? Has anything like this ever happened to you? Have relationships that have started with love at first sight really worked? Do you really believe in this myth? Do share with us your views and experiences on this very interesting and intruiguing topic.

I don't think that it exists. I am sure that I won't be in love with somebody at first. Love happens when you know more abot the person.....his character....the way he behaves.....how he cares about you....I will say 'crush' happens at first sight, but never love.

Totally in agreement with you. A crush happens at first sight and love at first sight is a myth definitely.

I really don't think that love can happen literally at first sight. But for some people it does happen pretty quickly. I think I had about 3 dates with my husband before I knew I was going to marry him. But the very first time I saw him, I just figured we'd be good friends.

Hi, I definitely agree with you. I think just falling in love at first sight is a myth.You really need to know a person if you want to love of marry him.We are not animals to just like each other by their looks.

No I don't think it's possible for love at first sight to really exist. It simply is not possible. Love is much more than just looking at a person which is what love at first sight is. You see a person and are 'in love'. This is a person that you've never seen before, and have never talked to before so how can it be love at first sight? It's simply lust.

I met my boyfriend when we were both walking down the street to go to work, I was on holidays and I was doing a job for that time being, he was already working in an office on the fifth floor. He called me on the street and I turn to look at him, We started to talk and then only we came to recognise each other as childhood friends at school. From there we continued to talk, We became friends again,then very good friend and finally we are lovers now. It has been nearly three years since we are together now. So I think the time we met, there was already something which was wonderful that we were unaware of. Now when we recall those fabulous moments, we laugh and cherish it a lot.

I really think that love at first sight really exists.I ever felt that way.I did not ever feel on looking at a Guy that we two were made for each other and we are soul mates.All these are really true.Everything has like this ever happened to me. Relationships have started with love at first sight really worked,but unfortunately,for some reason,we have maintained a friendship only.

Hi there gamesurfer! Good day to you! For me, I do not really think that love at first sight exists. For me, in order for you to know that you are really in love with a person, you should know that person inside out and for me, time is the most important part for us to really be sure that we are really in love with a person. If you see a person for the first time and you feel an intensity of adoration for that person and you think you feel love, I think that what you are really feeling is just infatuation and it is very very different to real love. I think this happens to us guys a lot when we see a beautiful girl for the first time but that is another story. I think lust and infatuation comes hand in hand in that situation and I think, that is the main reason why some of us thinks that they are feeling things like "love at first sight". :)

Nope I don't believe in love at first sight . I think thats infatuation or lust , and sometimes that alone is pretty powerful , but it isn't real love . You have to get to know a person to really fall in love with them .

I think there is attraction and perhaps some admiration or something like that at first site. I think it actually takes love some time to grow. Occasionally there may be a soulmate meeting but only very rarely. These things are only happening in the movies as far as I can see. I used to believe and be more romantic about things but it has been my experience that things seem nice to begin with but they fall short over time. Sadly so.

Well, only few believe that really happens, it exist but it ens in failure in the end. simply because it's actually Infatuation at first sight. when you feel that shocking and great feeling in you seeing that person. most are just feeling crush for the girl because of their beauty..

Hello gamesurfer!!! Well various people have various opinion on this question. But in my opinion, I say Love at first sight is not possible. I consider love at first sight as an illusion. Rather, I choose to say it crush at first sight. This crush if got chance can later change into real love if they got some way to be with each other, or start the friendship and finally be together for the whole life. But if the situation only end to the first sight, and never met again, I hope that illusion is gone. So, the exact love at first sight is rarely possible, let's not say 100 percent impossible... Happy mylotting...

I dont believe that love at first sight really exist...maybe its infatuation that developed into love.. something like that.. but not love at first sight literally. Coz its hard to love a person whom u dont know...

No, I don't think it exists. There can be LUST at first sight meaning that you are very attracted to someone...but love has to grow and be nurtured...it cannot be based on sight alone.

No I do not think that love at first sight exists. Love is a very complicated emortion and depends on how each one of us perceive what LOVE is. I do not agree that there is anything that is love at first sight. yes you could say attraction, lusting could be at first sight.. Dont you think I am right?

I believe in love at first sight. It's happened to me a few times but it didn't work out simply cus she wasn't in love with me back. Thats why i don't fall in love it's hard to do but I know that i have to be patient otherwise it creeps her out. haha.So guys out there be careful about falling in love unless shes in love with u first otherwise it's gonna be hard to attract her. I learn't my lesson from a bad heartbreak. But girls its ok. Sometimes later tho I found out that i made the wrong decision so forget that I ever loved her.

I dont think that it is true although it happens all the time with other .In my own opinion I cant tell by first glance that a man is the right man for me because I believed that love takes time and effort. Maybe you dont feel love but an admiration or infatuation which is a great attraction towards the opposite gender, but I dont consider it love.Most realistic people don't believed in this concept but there are some people who experieced it themselves and I can't speak on behalf of them since It took me so long to realized that I have the right man in my life already.For me, love is a deep emotional attachment and this deep attachment is a long process, it takes a long period of time to build that attachemnet and it's not possible to build this with just the first sight. Again im not saying that since it did'nt happened to me it's not true anymore because there are some people who have different love stories and can testify that love at first sight do really exist. Maybe because we define love in different ways and different reasons we feel inlove. That maybe the mystery of love that no can fathom.

I do believe that. Because it happened to me once. When i was in high school, i fell in love at frist sight of my deskmate's oldder brother. I can never forget that feeling, and it only happen once in my life so far. But different people have different view, some people believe while some don't.

Yes, I think so. I kind of met such a guy in high school, well, it is hard to define that feeling. When I first met him on the bus, I had a weird feeling that I had already known him for a long time, he seemed to be so familiar and close to me. However, I was so young at that time and never had the courage to make a move. Every morning we meet on the school bus and in most cases, I sat right behind him. As long as he was in my sight, I felt happy and steady ,and used to wish that the bus could run forever and never stop, because I just wanted to look at him forever... Since I entered university, I have never met another guy who can bring me that kind of feeling. That's why I stay single...

I believe that love at first sight really exists. When I met my now ex-husband, I was instantly attracted to and drawn in by him. He had a vibrant personality that I fell in love with immediately. Unfortunately though, as it sometimes happens, time went by and gradually he began to change. Eventually he became someone else entirely different, someone I didn't even recognize anymore.
