A friend of mine was fooled into believing that she was in love at first sight. to me it was just infatuation because she was dumped a few weeks later. How about you, do you believe in Love at first sight?

I didn't use to, until I met my husband. I still remember the first time I saw him, and his most soul-piercing blue eyes. I remember how serious he seemed, and I don't think I had ever been so nervous around a total stranger in my entire life.
Even now, he still has the ability to make my heart skip a beat, and can make me blush just by looking at me.
Yes, it was most definitely love at first sight. I knew then that I wanted him, had to have him. And I did just that.

As far as both go, it's very hard to tell. My husband used to tell me that I was obsessed with him (he said this jokingly and in a good way), and I do suppose that was true to a certain point.
I do agree with stowyk in that if it's not love, the feelings will fade. That is more of a time issue; as far as immediately wanting to know which it is, that's something the individual person needs to decide.

Negative. It takes getting to know somebody to fall in love. If you fall
In love with anything it's gonna be purely their looks...which would then
Make you somewhat shallow...that's just me though.

Yes, I believe it exists and i have experienced it myself first-hand.
First of all, even real love has an infatuation stage. However, being in love and being JUST infatuated feel very differently. The problem is that most people are blinded by the euphoric feelings of infatuation and either don't know or don't care whether or not they are actually in love. The key to telling the difference is to take a step back from yourself and try to really analyze what you're really thinking and feeling and why. Most people just don't do that.

No I think i dont familiar with such types of aspects as far as i knw its just a crush of the person it is not the real love...because real love needs time and if those two persons becomes friend then it may slowly the start of love but LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT is not exist its just infatuation...

No, I don't believe so. I think it takes time to fall in love with someone, what you feel at first sight, is just attraction, then comes several things that can influence on you to make really fall in love with a person. But it's just attraction at the beginning.

I do and don't. I believe in lust at first sight! And also that two people can share an instant attraction/feeling that's different to what they usually feel when first meeting someone (and different to lust).
However it then takes a lot of work to make a relationship work and relying on just "love at first sight" is naive.

I think there is definitely a sort of special attraction between two people. It's hard to explain. I've felt it before, but I'm still not sure it was love at first sight, or what.
there have been scientific studies on the subject of love at first sight. pheromones(like what queen bees use to hypnotize their drones) have been linked to being a possible reason for this occurrence. Attractive colors, smells, and other things that excite your senses would be some of the things that spark the first sight phenomenon.
