Love at First Sight

disgust at first sight, yes. love at first sight, no. like at first sight, yes. love at first sight, no. just like you, my stand on this is quite on the negative. love is a word far much greater than just like. love is something that grows through time and as you know the person. But how can you deeply know the person at first sight. Yes, we might like the person, as his looks might be a sneak preview of his persona. His physical appearance would somehow be the gauge of whether you like to know the person more or not. The closest thing to love at first sight i think would be "loving the idea of a person being like who you would like to love at first sight". I guess this one is possible. You'll see the person and you seem to like him and you begin to attach certain qualities of someone which you think is ideal for you and then you begin to feel love for the person together with the package of traits you have attached to his persona without you verifying if he has it or not. You fall in love at first sight with the thought of loving someone you barely know but you think you know. It's good if the person indeed has the prized qualities you thought of him. Then perhaps, you'll continue to love him as you know him more. But what if it is the otherwise? You can either give up the idea of falling in love at first sight or you can think of yourself as falling out of love when you get to know the real person or you could also opt to be blinded by the fact that you accept whatever it is because you already love the person.

There's really a love at first sight, friend. That is my experience and now the person whom I love at first sight being my partner...

I believe it is attraction first. That is more of liking which one mistakes into love. The physical appearance or the way one moves or speaks or carry his/her self has a great influence in this. Love is something that grows and develops through the days that you are with someone you like. So I myself do not believe in love at first sight. Like at first sight maybe!

I think a "crush" would be a better word to put it. I could say that "I had a crush on you" but to fall in love? Nah! I hardly know that person to want to fall in love with him yet. I mean if we are to be spending the rest of our lives together, I should take time to get to know him first, right?

I got interested with the Paulo Coelho part! haha. what book is this? He's my favorite author but I've only read the Alchemist and the witch of portobello! ANyway, I've never experienced falling in love at first sight. But I don't think it matters to me. It will still depend on who you really end up with. If for example I fell in love with someone at first sight but didn't end up with him, I'd find it to be tragic more than romantic. :)

I have been together with my wife now for twenty years. We met one night when she walked into the bar where I was sat having a drink. Our eyes met, across that crowded room, and three minutes later we were talking as if we had known each other all of our lives, instead of mere moments. Five days later, we wereliving together, inseperable ever since. Was this love at first sight? others may judge that better than I but That is how it has always seemed to me.

May be it's Romantics!may be it's dangerous if your feeling is incorrect.

The word 'love' is totally misunderstood. There is nothing like love at first sight and I call it infatuation. Love has to be nurtured and no doubt looks do matter. What one sees at first sight are looks but that is not the end of searching for true love. You made a valid point of whether there is any possibility of 'love at first sight' when it refers to an ugly person.Normally no. But if circumstances are such that one is in the constant company of a person who is ugly it is possible that one could fall in love with that person for other reasons and this is quite common too! After all beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

i like a boy starting at an age of 9.it wasn;t love but just a simple crush for like 3 years..when i entered high school, i like this boy..he is sweet, funny and everyone likes him..and surprisingly he likes me too..i think that is my love at first sight because we still together after 7years and i loved him very much...

i don't believe with love at first sight. that's not love. it come because togetherness.

hi.. i agree with you, LOVE at first sight is an impossibility. how can someone say that he/she love the person after he/she saw him/her for the first time. i think the right term would be, "INFATUATION at first sight"! for you to say that you love the person, you should've known her deeply..you must have learned to accept all her "downsides"! and it takes some time for you to be certain 'bout what you really feels towards him/her..ü

I dont believe love at first sight. The first impression just show us about appereance, so I dont think it kind of love, but just admiring or liking. Love happens when we comfort and knowing each other. if someone said he had love at first sight, I believe that the first time just an admiring feeling, then after they know each other, love may begins.

I cannot deny that I think that way and somehow it's just not them realizing it however according to some science or repeating seeing someone in an enclosed space will trigger that , I am one who doesn't comprehend the logics of falling in love by chance , and give meaning to every "cute" girl I see and may be more biased towards others . Now everybody has to know that if the girl is "cute" enough , it may be a love of first sight possibility , and once you know beyond the skin unless you were psychic about persona , I would infer that there's a low chance for me to be love in first sight with so-called ugly people.(is it love at first sight both ways? - that is the question)

I've only fallen in love once, but being 16 and foolish I broke up with her and destroyed my chances.

7 years ago, there's this guy who just came here in the country from the US and said he fell in love with me the first time he saw me LOL . Love at first sight eh? hehehe but then he wasn't that hard to fall for too, he was the sweetest guy i have ever met. when i met him, i can't really say it was love at first sight but i liked him right away. his song for me was even "i knew i loved you (before i met you)" heheheheh he is so funny. well, i guess it really is true. 7 years after, and we are still together. being each others' first boyfriend and girlfriend (first love) makes it extra special

I did.. It was my first love ... I fall in love with him the first time I ever saw him.. We are already done but I think I still have feelings for him! hahaha!

Halu happycaprice, yes my dear i do believed in love at first sight,even though i didn't experienced it,becoz LOVE find everywhere,anywhere,but TRUE and FAITHFUL LOVE is hard to find. thanks GOD BLESS

i have read many paulo's book... and the name i really loved was winner stands alone... it actually inspires us... and love at first is also quite good... i think that outside bueaty doesnt matter so much what matter is how much that person loves you and cares about you... and it is difficult to find people who actually loves you. yes you can surely fall in love at first sight... but it depends whether it stays for long or not....

Undying romantic I am, yes, I believe in love on first sight. Problem is, how long will it last? Chemistry, demeanor and appearance also play an important role (one could wrap it up and say it's all about lust....)

Hello!I think fallling in love with somebody is a romatic thing indeed.I believe if one has such an experience,that would be a wonderful memorize.Many girls always dream the day they come across their Mr White.Well,I believe in love at first sight,although I never fall in love in this way.Here I'd like to share a story with you.My classmates has fallen in love with a boy in first sight,and now they has got along well for about 3 years.The story happened around me,so I start to dream about the romance now.haha.
