What happen to love at first sight? After all, fairy tales lead us to believe there is special someone out there for us, and that we'll know as soon as we meet him that's he the person we're meant to spend the rest of our lives. There are many couples out there who happen to start their marriage in love at first sight. Are your love story is one of this? I have witness there marriage had started with love at first sight. We are Varsity Player in our School. And my friend was popular in our school. Many guys like her. But there is only one that catches the eye of my friend. And that guy was her Husband.

I don't believe in it. I just think that it is kind of shallow. I bet it has happened but I think it was because when you saw someone you became interested and ask them out, then by coincidence you end up getting married.

Coincidence can then lend to it being "in love by luck" not at first sight. Interestint perspective. I bet none of really know of anyone who truly fell in LOVE at first sight. Attraction at first sight, possibly!

Well I really don't believe in love at first sight. If you saw someone who catches your eyes that feeling was just a mere attraction and probably not love. Love is developed and love occurs when you get together well. And if that person who catches your eye become too close in your life well then the feeling of attraction will probably turns out into love.

My true love story hasn't been written yet. I do believe in love at first sight. But in some cases it is just that the person looks like your dream and they aren't inside. I think it takes a little bit longer to Really know a person and then you fall for them. But I do believe for the very lucky , they can see a face across the room and both fall for eacvh other And it lasts a lifetime.

No, i do not believe because if i believe in that i may fall in live a hundred or thousand as i am first attracted to the physical appearance rather than to the inner beauty as the first impression is the first things being notice. It is good that we have mind as it could dictate what the real things and with a heart to decide if it is right or wrong. With the absence of critical thinking may fall as the victims of lies which are commonly seen in every day encounter.

I believe in love at the first sight. A man and woman can look at each other and feels that they truly belong to each others. But conditions and circumstances may block their potential unions. That's just how love goes.

I am not a true believer in love at first sight. Honestly, I believe that relationships that start like that are just instances of lust that form into love. There is no way to know that you and another person will be compatible just from your first meeting alone. Even I am in a relationship with someone who I instantly fell for. While we are together now, I still don't think of what we had as love at first sight. I can honestly admit that I was attracted to him and lusted after him. It was just by chance that we were compatible.

Sometimes when you see a person some butterflies fly in your heart or mind. You feel like seeing them again and again. You feel like talking to them, listening to them. In the course of time, you may like them more and may end up in love and marriage. But at times you may change your mind also, as per the other person's impression on you. But it is a lovely feeling, love at first sight and if it turns into marriage, nothing like that. Mine is arranged marriage and you may not believe, I did not even see his face properly.

Yes, I believe that love at first meeting (maybe not first sight) can occur. I met my wife in this way and we've been together ever since. We didn't wait or hang around either. - Derek

I really do believe in this idea! There have been many times in the past when I have layed eyes on a woman for the first time and I just could not take my eyes off her! This wasn't about lust or anything like that, it was pure love I think! The only problem is, I have never done anything about that! The woman has walked away and chances are I will never see her again. I think that is love when you look at someone and they are so beautiful and you suddenly experience very powerful feelings deep inside. Andrew

I don’t know...My ex used to tell me that for him it was love at first sight...I tend to think that you can certainly be instantly attracted to someone at first sight but to call it love is a bit premature. Love-as in the real kind-has to develop between two people as they get to know each other and grow together. I think the thing you experience when you first lay your eyes on someone is more like lust at first sight!

yes i do believe in love at first sight but after that my love will contineu or not will depend on post behaviour of that person for me only doesnt play very important role i need lot more things for me. i need love, attention and respect for me, without all this it is very dificult for me to survive in the relationship at the same time understanding and care is also very crucial. i am very loyal to the person if i commit but if i see some problem i dont feel good. i hate hight attitude and unclarity in the relationship. i become very rude in relationship if i came to know that some one is hiding any thing from me i feel apart from that person. with me it is many time that i liked some one at first sight but you know it takes hardly any shape in relationship.bcoz for any relationship you have to approach the person you like and i am very bad in taking first step.

I believe it's physical attraction at first sight. For me, there's no such thing as love at first sight.How can I say I love a guy the first time I saw him when I don't even know him. I may be attracted to him. But then, physical attraction can always lead to love depending on the couple.

I think love is a learned feeling. One that you can only really be in when you have a history to back its existense. First sight is hardly any history. You are merely falling for the appearance of that person that your mind finds attractive. Unless you make many more sights and observe the person a little more thoroughly it is not at all possible to be in love at first sight.
