I had this happen to me. yes, i did fall in love at first sight, i never believed that it will happen to me, but it did happen. I do agree with you , i think it is risky.
I think a person fall in love at first sight , when he needs to fall in love itself, and in most cases there is a big possibility that it will not work at all, because it is based on his fantasies, and the moment he starts knowing the person he realizes of the reality and the true personality of the case.
I know that i fell in love at first sight, but after a month, i realized that i will really have to know this person and work things out, if i want him to stay and be my partner. i was ready to do that, and he was too.
We were both ready to do that, and we did have a very interesting relationship.

I fell in love at first sight. It was at a church meeting. He had dark brown hair, almost black and brown eyes. There was another girl who was interested in him, more successful than I was, blonder hair. I was a rather unsuccessful office worker. We started dating, and found we had so much in common and we could talk to each other. That love kept on and we've been married for thirty-five years. It does work, but usually only if there is a common ground.

Love at first sight, definitely not. What makes love real is knowing another person, both their strengths and their flaws, and loving them completely for the person they are. At first sight you can be attracted to someone, lustful for them, or even have instant chemistry with them, but you can't love them. I don't think it's fair to say that what some people call love at first sight is a strictly physical attraction, because you can have a strong chemistry with a person right away without their being an exceptionally physically attractive person, but this chemistry still isn't love.
Yes, I do believe that you can both love a person and lust for them, if by lust you mean an intense physical attraction and desire. Lust is often used to mean a physical attraction that is devoid of substance or real affection, but by that definition obviously it couldn't co-exist with love. Most people, at some time in their lives, experience both intense physical attraction and love for the same person at the same time. Also, the love seems to enhance the lust. A person you love will actually look more desirable to your eyes because you love them. Your eelings for them gives them an additional quality that nothing else could have generated.
I also think that those "fairy tale" loves do exist, to a degree, they just have other things mixed in. You can have a head over heels, meant for each other, greatest love of all love with someone, but at the end of the day you still do your laundry together, pick lint off each other's clothes, and get irritated with each other's annoying mothers. Even the fairy tales are subject to the realities of life.

Being a rational person, it is not possible for me to fall in love at first sight, or at least, I have not met such a bizarre circumstance. It is my head that rules my heart and not vice-versa. Even if my heart happen to triumph over my head, ultimately, it is still my head that rules.
Even though it is not possible for me to love at first sight, I do not deny such can happen to others. It sort of require some affinity to meet, fell in love at first sight, and then work towards the relationship. This is no risk with loving at first sight if one remains calm and cool.
