Does this thing called love at first sight really exist? I don't think I understand what that is because according to me, love develops over time. I agree to interest at first sight and then while you spend time with a person love will develop if it has to. I met a stranger a few days ago, he's no longer a stranger now because since we've been talking daily. Today is the fifth day, so for the past four we were talking, not verbally but, you know WhatsApp and Facebook still qualifies as talking I guess.
We were both at the zoo and he was going the opposite direction as me, I saw him and we looked at each other, I went on to sit on the bench that I was approaching which was my plan from the on set.
My plan was to jus be at the zoo and survive city life, and read or write what I like, which is what I did. However, just after switching my iPad on, I could see someone sitting next to me but my eyes were just glued to the sceen. After a momen my new neighbour said "hi" , I looked up in a "please don't disturb" way. And bang it was the strange I saw.
Needless to say, we talked and talked and talked, four hours passed whilst talking. On the.fourth hour my new friend moved a little in the middle of the bench, because the whole time he was siding at the end of the bench while I was on the other end.
As he came in the middle that when the "I think I love you, thats why I came back" story begun.
So I've been asking him what he feels like, why does he call that feeling love? He feels embarrassed and thinks I'm a different woman, but I honestly would like to know.
Is there something called love at first time?

I doubt if such a thing exist. I agree to some degree of attraction at first sight, but falling in love? No, it takes time, no matter how little. What you felt at the zoo was attraction, and you both probably bonded over similar interests and experiences. And there is a great possibility of you both falling in love gradually.
However, to say that you fell in love with each other when your eyes first met..it's not really sensible, or realistic, or logic..no? I apologize if you find my comment rude, or perhaps deflating. :/ :)

No, how can I find your comment rude or deflating if I share the same sentiments with you? I ndidnt say I fell in love with the person, I said he's saying he fell in love with the person he saw( being me) and I don't believe in such. Or maybe it's because I haven't experienced it? But I don't see me experiencing it, not in this lifetime.

Haha aren't you a hopeless romantic, then? I am. But I still don't believe in the whole 'I fell in love when our eyes first met' routine. I think it works best in novels, and since our lives are anything but cheesy, happily-ever-after Mills&Boons or Georgette Heyers, it's pointless to believe in, and look forward to, experiencing such moments.

I am a die hard romantic. I can honestly say I think that love at first sight is something that doesn't truly happen persay. I do think you can be attracted immediately and then just have a positive feeling that continues and then you have a bond. And to a romantic or someone that has felt this may feel that it was love at first sight. Even if you feel this is what is going on I would take it very slow and communicate alot.

I feel you and I agree with you. Or maybe I'm also a romantic therefore if I can't get close to the person I claim to love, it's not it for me.

I believe it. I met my girlfriend when i was younger. She was my first girlfriend. And there was something special about her. As soon as i seen her. I cant explain it. It's like she had a glow about her. Anyway I was only visiting for the Summer. And I had to leave her. We were young. We went our separate ways for over 15 years. I am happy to say we are back together. And it is a very crazy story. Should be a movie, I know. :) But I loved her from the moment I saw her like no one else. That is only my experience though! Of course there are other paths and stories of others, who may feel differently! Good luck to you. :)

I hear you, but I think I'll understand that magic the day I experience it if I will ever do. I have met and felt strongly about someone befor but the fact that they might not be aware or feel the same electric, makes it something else for me. Maybe interest at first sight or confusion at first sight:)

Personally, I think it is better to be called "attracted in first site" rather than love in first sight.
I also believe that you cannot just love someone without really knowing her/him. Being attracted is different from being in love. Attraction is all about the good things or characteristic you admire to that certain person while love is the acceptance of that person no matter what.

I don't really believe in love at first sight.I know that there might something attracts you at first meeting but I don't think its called love.Its just an infatuation/admiration. Love - need sometimes to developed and its not happened at first glance.
Every person have different intuition of their feelings.I think depends on how you feel towards that person.
Happy mylotting!

I believe in love at first sight too. When I first saw my girlfriend my eyes have been glued on her face and when she saw me, she approached me and told me that I might make a hole in her face. Then only word came out in my mouth was 'I LOVE YOU', and then she was shocked and laugh. She gave me her number, after our 1 and half year on being in a relationship she told me that she also approached me because she fall from me and she wants to see me on close-up. I was so shy when she told me that. God! I really love my girlfriend.
