Do you believe in Love at first sight?

I always believe in this. Love is a process. It does not happen with just the snap of the fingers. I think it is more of attraction. For me, that is something so scary. I have seen a lot of couples who ended up parting ways after being so romantic. They started with love at first sight. They ended up separated at first instance. I hope this will not happen to anyone here. Unfortunately, that is the sad truth. I still think love has to be cultivated. Until such time that one gets used to the looks and goes beyond the outside appearance, and if there is still the longing to be with that person, then that is love, and that is what's going to keep them together for long.

I don't believ in "love" at first sight - what you get at first sight is "lust" and "infatuation" . love grows when you get to know somebody and you accept them despite all their faults . Sometimes your initial attraction is right and it grows into love, sometimes it isn't and the relationship falters. Anyone who does believe in love at first sight is only experiencing lust and infatuation. I've actually covered this in a psychology course :)

That's not love, It's lust and any "love" based completely on appearance will never last.

I never believed in "love at first sight". I think what you are discussing should be "attraction at first sight". I believe that attraction is only a shallow feeling that it can be influenced by those chemicals that you are mentioning. I do believe that love is much deeper than what those attraction chemicals do.

I kinda agree / kinda disagree....I agree because I have heard stories from my friends happening of this and now years later they are together and have a perfect and married life with kids....now the other part why I disagree is because of how it often happens..to me, that ratio is like 1 / 100,000,000 ... which is why I think of it as a fairy tail story if you see someone and you get this "love at first sight" thing....ahh well that is my own opinion..

i do believe in love at first sight.. but it only happens to few people truly nd lucky ones... people belive differently based on how the found their loved ones...

I believe in it only because I have experienced it myself.

I honestly am not sure if I really do believe in love at first sight. I've never experienced it, or anything like that. I personally have my doubts that love at first sight really can happen.

I am a romantic a t heart and a firm believer in the power of love. i don;t know that love can come at first sight. if it does, it is something truly rare and special. Love needs time to blossom and grow. That first spark may lead to the path of love . i don't know that it is love at that first moment but the inkling of what is yet to be.

i believe that we each have a true love, a soul mate.. i don't know if we would instantly know that someone is the one by just looking at them.. i think it would be more lust at first sight than anything else because we as humans like what our eyes like.. so it would be physically attraction first.. then i think the love comes from talking.. so maybe.. lust at first sight, but love at first conversation? :)

I don't believe in such thing. Sadly I'm this type of person who is not romantic at all.I love my partner deeply but it was not love from first sight. I envy people who are romantic and believe in such experience because for them world got more colours. I wish you all the best!

Perfectly explained. I guess I really don't believe in love at first sight. It's more like "admiration at first sight". The moment you see a person you tend to like his physicality and not all of him/her. So, there.

hi, flowefest08. I believe it. because I ever experienced it. I fell in love with a girl at first sight. my heart skipped a beat when she saw me. I ventured to get acquainted. We eventually became good friends and a year later he became my girlfriend. even one year we are dating.

My opinion is, it is not love, but lust, I at least would not full in love with a stranger, only with somebody I know and can't think of how my life would be like without her.

No! But I do believe in "attraction" at first sight!;) And this attraction could later be termed as "lust" at first sight or "love" at first sight all depending on the nature of attraction which is, one based on physical attributes of other person and one, nature of the other person. But, we can say that love at first sight might have occurred in old times or happen even today in some restricted cultures when you did/do not have many options and often confused initial attraction with love and were/are ready to sacrifice your whole life pursuing your object of affection. Truth is true love only develops with time and patience and you would need them even for the survival of your so called "love at first sight." :)

Hi Flowerfest, I do believe that you can meet someone and instantly have a very strong attraction to that person that could feel like love. If the feeling is mutual and both are as committed to each other and the relationship then I think it could blossom into a really strong love that could be looked back upon as "love at first sight". The thing is, we often feel that same feeling when we first meet and start seeing someone.

For me yes I have that idea with that true just like my husband now and after all we have more love to each other.

When you are young,you believe everything you hear.I think true love develops with time, what happens you start to like someone then after sometime you start to love someone. May be some people are lucky and they fall in love at sight.
