Have you ever experienced love at first sight?

Question

Rosexøxø · Accepted Answer

I think people mean it went well and never really stopped going well since the time of first seeing/meeting and interacting. So first sight/ first impression and if they became two peas in a pod lovers, then it was love at first sight for them. The love they developed grew since the very first instance.

i don’t think people reach level 10 insanely wild and intense die for you love for a person just by merely looking at them. Loving requires knowing. Only physical attraction / appreciation and the extreme case of lust happen by definition, entirely- at first sight.

Love is always a process of instruction, exchange, learning and appreciating a person. Loving requires having a sense of knowing about them.

Thats just how I see it. And perceive it.

But there can be exceptions of course where in the very first few words after exchanging glances some weird and wild thing within them makes them feel magnetically pulled to the other and they say to themselves they’d willingly die for the other maybe even right in that second.

If they see that person as a beautiful thing a painting and how they carry themselves and guessing how they may be according to their stance and certain aura it’s definitely possible to be this infatuated/obsessing love for the person. Almost like some type of worship.

But I just think that’s insanely rare. Like 1/999

Almost twelve years ago this young man came to my employment premises to take some surveying measurements (he was then a trainee junior architect) and almost immediately something hit me like a ton of bricks, with my entire body screaming at me saying "This Is The One".

Fast forward to present day, we are now very happily married and have our two adorable and extremely precious children.

I don't know, and will never know, if this was "Love At First Sight"!

I don't believe there's such a thing. I believe in lust at first sight though. But love takes time to develop. Love is when you would jump in front of a truck for that person. It's when you experience life together and get to know them deeply and emotionally.

However, there was something I experienced that some might mistake for love at first sight. There was a girl that I met at track and field back in high school and we were chilling and I can't remember the reason why, but she ended up pinching my cheeks playfully. When I saw her face in that moment, she looked like an angel and my intuition about her personality was exactly that... that she was extremely kind hearted. I'm usually right about people's personalities. I ended up having a crush on that girl for about 2 years before I said anything. And when I did, I got gently rejected 😂 It obviously didn't change my perspective of her. She was still an angel, but I just wasn't her type.

But anyways... it was not love at first sight (although I probably would've jumped in front of a truck for her. I have a high confidence in my intuition and I genuinely know she was a good person). It was simply an attraction and interest I had to her.

... Yes maybe and kind of LOL.. . I can feel somebody's energy before I see them I just know that there's somebody that I want to meet just from the energy that I feel around me that is somebody else's...

And that feeling is basically just like looking into somebody's eyes that you just totally fell in love with

So when I feel that first I do search for that person and once I look into their eyes I can feel that connection

How can you LOVE someone when you know absolutely NOTHING about them except their appearance? That is called lust.

Angelo75 · Answer

In order to "love" someone, you have to love their personality.
But since its impossible to know someones personality without interacting with him/her for a while, well it's impossible to "love" someone at first sight.

There is however "lust" or "physical attraction" on the looks of the person. That is immediately visible at first sight.

The frustrating thing is that if your lust gets too high, it will overwhelm rational thinking and let you lie to urself that no matter the personality you will accept it.

So no love at first sight.

But yeah, i've experienced LUST at first sight many times.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

love is a higher emotion... which means time is needed for this feeling to develop...

at first sight you can like someone, feel the connection, infatuation... but not love...

of course, from those first impressions love can evolve with time

just_a_potato · Answer

It isn't possible. Love is the act of willingly putting someone before yourself, and caring for them in a similar way you do your own family or long time friends. You can't feel that way for a literal stranger. It's a cute concept though. They make the best romance movies.

RyanR03 · Answer

No one has love at first sight. Even the 0.1% that lucked out married the person they fell for was lust that worked out into love.

there are far more people who believe they fell into love that were picking up their pieces later on than those who fell and lasted. It seems so romantic but in truth you have no clue who you meld with upon meeting. Some people just are devastatingly attractive to us at first sight. Those people can reveal themselves as psycho later on

DopeTurtle · Answer

Personally? I haven’t. All of my deep emotional and romantic relationships have been developed by a key and important ingredient, time.

I fall more emotionally for someone the more I learn about their life, philosophical perspectives on things, experiences, likes and dislikes, etc.

Its lust at first site. Anyone who says they fell in love at first site and they never got to know the person first; doesn’t actually know what love is.

It's hard to know if it's (love, attraction or admiration) at first sight. Maybe my boyfriend I have right now was love at first sight🤔
