Love at First Sight

[Bubble]

Do you believe in love at first sight?

[sophie_1003]

Lust at first sight, yes but not love. Some people do fall in love very quickly though but you can't love someone for everything they are just by looking at them.

I do believe in it to a certain extent, because if someone is good-looking it makes an enourmous difference to how attractive they are, and you can tell instantly if you like the look of someone. But of course a person's personality is extremely important and some people say personality is all that matters in the end. You can tell certain things about someone just by looking at them. I think you can tell by the look in someone's eyes whether they are a true or a false person. So yeah, I see some truth in the idea of love at first sight, but to get to fall in love with someone completely you have to get to know them a little.

Yes, for several reasons. (and I don't think its lust). Firstly, I don't believe really at least for me in the kind of low hum deep love that comes with long term friendship alone, there has to be that buzz. I can identify it quite well when I feel it. I should be getting my sentences wrong, feel shakey when arranging to meet that person. If not, forget it. I've tried the rest, relationships that 'feel good on paper'. No way.

You get the feeling with some complete random, occasionally. Shop assistant, something like that. Just that weird buzz. Feel you should act on it but don't.

Well I fell in love the first time I saw Joy, club was packed, she sat on my lap, and I was hooked. We had a brilliant 18 months, but alas she dumped me, still dont know the reason, but that was thirty years ago and I still love her now, she's never been out of my thoughts.

I felt it with an ABer.

[Bluemukka]

I do but not in the sense that the question implies (ie between adults). I felt it in waves for all 3 of my babies the first second I clapped eyes on them.

[bamfish]

yes , im certain that it happens all the time .

[pixi]

yes definately, it happened to me and we are still together after nearly 8 years as happy now as we were then

[pixi]

ps the sex is still ace too :)

[Scarlett]

I do actually. I think that for some people there is such a strong link with that person, for whatever reason, that you KNOW you just have to have them now- and I don't mean sex. These people can go on to be best mates too, I think. There is just such a strong link between you both that you just don't want to be apart- ever!

[dmsjps]

Yes.

[Robinia]

Yes on occasion there has been an overwhelming 'knowing' that this person would be important in my life. It's certainly totally different to just looking at someone & thinking they were good looking or fanciable.  It's a chemistry, & it's lovely & horrible at the same time if you know what I mean!

[nicola_red]

No, I don't.  I agree with sophie totally.

[I_Tried]

Before we attempted to answer that question did we ask ourselves what love is?

Love is subjective so my understanding of Love would probably vary from another persons understanding.

So can someone believe in Love at first sight its a yes and No dependant on how one qualifies/quantifies Love.
