Yes and no. I’ve experienced it and it turned into something really great when I was in my early 20’s.
But a lot of factors go into it. We were both brand new to a big city and community and when we met I was wearing my college sweatshirt and we were big rivals.
But yeah, physical attraction was there off the charts.
The thing is that if we’d have met under different circumstances I doubt we’d have gotten together as quickly or at all and bonded.
What I mean is that if we met at, say a college game where we were playing each other no way would that have ever happened. The rivalry is too tense and we would have been with friends.
I think that we meet the people we meet when we are ready to meet them. Otherwise you just pass each other by. That doesn't mean that kismet like meeting or connection is less meaningful or valuable.
But if love at first sight is really a thing then it happens at first sight of the person independent of circumstances.
My first great love was someone I had known for a few years in the same group of friends and didn’t much care for him as a person.
But one night through just being a third party witness to how he treated several situations like the flip of a switch I realized I was wrong and was in love.
These are exceptions I think though. When you go into a date with no common friends are bonds you can feel an instant spark and think the relationship will take off but it often falls on its face.

I don't know about others but I find it rather impossible to love someone without having talked to them or knowing something about their nature. I need to feel the connection. All those who claim to have fallen in love at first sight confuse lust or physical attraction with love. Although they can gradually fall in love after spending some time with the person though.
of the 3 most common emotions for relationship foundations 1 leads to love. so by the technical transference of emotional properties yes love at first sight can be a thing. However many people confuse how one becomes attracted to people. there are innumerable ways for a person to become romantically interested in someone. Chem-signals is a complicated thing to explain and even harder to understand. The simple way is an aura. People have an "aura" about them and when we meet another person the 2 auras collide with the stronger overriding the lesser aura. you ever meet someone who is so upset or angry that just being near them makes you feel the same way? or that 1 person who walks into the room and everyone in the room looks towards them because they "shine like the sun" they give off such strong chem-signals we actually feel them. for people who spend time studying themselves and studying other people we can actually get a sense of someones personality and intentions just by the feeling we get off there chem-signals or there aura as it were. meaning that technically speaking yeah you and someone could meet and your auras mix collide and then harmonize together. don't worry most people won't even understand this and of those who don't most will also doubt this is a real thing.
Offcourse, my first love was love on first sight. I was in high school when I saw a girl on picture, that was picture of my friend class, he went to different school than me. He called her and said that one guy would like to met her, so tommorow she comed with her friend and me and my friend were there we talked about I think one hour, man i dont know her eyes sparkle mine too. Then she invited me to come tommorow to her place, that happens, I was seating at the sofa and she was seating on the chair and I asked her to seat next to me, she did. I hug her look her in the eyes and told her "I need you", she said "why" and I said "to settle down" and we kissed. THAT WAS MY 4 BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE. At the end we go different ways but I am so glad that I had that relationship, thank you for for this question.

Sounds a bit cliche, but I believe in lust at first sight. I can't possibly imagine falling in love with someone by just looking at them. I can imagine wanting to sleep with someone by just their physical looks. To me, love is more about the chemistry and personality b/w two people. Like I could prob believe in love at first date but not in first sight..
I really don't. I know people can be really connected but real love takes time to develope. When you look at a person you don't know who they are yet. So how could you love them? Just doesn't make sense. The only time I believe in love at first sight is a parent seeing their child for the first time.

Nope. You can't fall in love with someone you don't know, someone you know nothing about. Someone you never talked to or spent time with.
Love takes time, it doesn't happen just by looking at someone.
However, I believe in lust at first sight. That's very common. It requires kind of chance to be honest to see how much your character pair with that person. If it depends on only appreance, then it is already not a love. People can't even stand each other after few months they started to dating and at the beginning they all said the same thing.
"You are the one"I didn't... until I saw a guy in footlocker, once, walking around with two different shoes on. He looked like a grown and more mature version Sid from Skins UK. A beanie and round circular glasses. He was a lanky tall drink of water with an oversized Northface rain coat. I fell in love instantly. Lol. But honestly I don't know.
I do, but most women only believe in restraining orders! Lol. Actually, it does exist be is very rare. Too many things have to right in both lives for a live at first site to take place. We're all so busy, trying to chase perfection, keeping up with Joneses, and building the image of the perfect mate in our minds! All of this seems to get in the way of living life and being truly open to new encounters with the opposite sex.
Nope but I do believe some people just klick with each other form the get go but I wouldn't call it love just good vibes and I believe in attraction at first sight
No you can't just love someone by looking at them for the first time, that's sexual attraction that develops deeper the more you spend time with them loool or like if you believe it's real :)
No, I believe love is developed over time, lust can happen at first sight but not love
Yes, although it's not love exactly. I experienced it. It's like an instant connection you feel towards someone and then you kinda feel as if you had known them for a long time and develop feelings real quick.
Come on love is more complex than just looking at someone and saying you love them without knowing a thing about them.
No, when you see someone you can feel attracted to him/her yes. But that’s just lust. I think you need to get to know someone before you can fall in love
Not sure if you can say it was “love” at first site but my mom says when she first met my dad she knew he was the one
Nope. Love takes time. You need a relationship to love someone. I do believe in lust at first sight.
No, that's just infatuation. Love needs time to develope.
Not really, I believe in admiration but it can't be love yet.
no i dont but i believe in strong attraction at first sight
No😅.. one should not fell in love with someones look.. heart is the main thing. One will become old and lose his or her beauty.. then what should he or she do leave him? always fell in love with the person not the looks
No. I used to, but now that I love someone it's not realistic anymore. Although it took me about a week to start loving this guy. 😂
