Do you believe in 'love at first sight '?
I saw my "First" at first sight and knew we would be together. I was attracted to him very strongly. Visa versa. We got to know each and yes had sex eventually. Great chemistry and connection. We could have turned the rapport to a serious relationship... But we weren't ready to love (If that make sense) I believe love you choose to bless someone with to love "them" and all that comes with them known and unknown. The attraction or lustful attraction doesn't hinder one from being involved with one another. Attraction and like are two different things versus love. Love you give one's self to the other unselfishly (You want what's best for the other person. One who has your best interest at heart), it "should" be unconditional. If it is true. "Love" it is unconditional, bonding, beautiful when you are attracted to the person, have chemistry and a connection. I believe one can think attraction and like is love based upon how one make you feel. That's not love and will be proven when your relationship go through situations that only love can cover you and pull you through. Love is best shown through adverstities and not when everything is good. "Now" you can say you have true love if you can both overcome said adverstities together and maintain a long lasting relationship. Love at first sight for me is more I want to love you without getting to know. The connection is strong enough that I want to learn and love you as I go along with you in life. I'm willing to except all flaws and work with you on the flaws that can be corrected. And, live with the ones that can not be. It's Iike a crash course "I know we were meant for each other" you think with your mind and heart at the same time instead of just mind or heart or mind then heart. You just know as they say. You really do. I just or we just made the choice not to. You don't fall in love. You choose to love.

I did in my teenage years. I was 17 when I first met my college boyfriend, and I swear it was like I had been punched in the gut. I literally had the wind knocked out of me. We dated for 2.5 years, which is actually pretty impressive for two college kids in their first relationship.
I don't believe in love at first sight anymore though. I think we tend to get more cautious in life as we get older. We've been hurt more and we tend to keep our guard up until we feel like we can trust a person. However, when I met my current boyfriend, we hit it off right away. I wouldn't call it "love at first sight", but there was definitely an instant connection.
Yeah, no...
Lust at first sight, yes
Love? No...
Love comes AFTER you talk to her more and get to know her more. It doesn’t have to be a super long time either, it can be for an hour, a week, etc.
Love comes after you get to know what kind of personality she has and if she’s the right fit for you. However long it takes you to figure this out is around the time love sets in.
There’s countless amounts of women that I’ve seen and found physically attractive... Attractive women are as common as water in the ocean... You can find a woman you’re physically attracted to literally ANYWHERE.

If you can be "in love" with someone you have never met and don't know, then you have a different definition for the word "love." For me, being in love requires that I know my love and can say why I love them aside from their physical appearance.
I think "love at first sight" is actually lust at first sight with a hope that more develops.

I believe people think it's "love at first sight", when it's more attraction, lust.
Real love takes time to grow, build into something past just the physical
You can't know someone's personality, character, strengths and heart "at first sight" and those are the parts of a person I fall in love with ♥️ -
Lust at first sight definitely happens. You can have great connection and chemistry with someone on first sight. Love, however, is a choice that you make over time, so no. You can’t fall in love at first sight. Not a lot of people are capable of love or even know what it is. Many people have never experienced love either. You need a great deal of maturity, forgiveness, communication and patience in order to have a loving and fruitful relationship. That’s not easily developed, and failing at one of these typically leads to the demise of your relationship.

I don't know if it is sight I think it's energy when 2 people's energy touch an become one there is something s beautiful about it it's the most beautiful feeling I have ever felt what I mean about energy there are two ways I can' show you the feeling I get.
1 get 2 magnets first finger and thumb both hands play with them don't let them touch do thevsame thing with the other sides of magnets don't let them touch feel the feeling between them and your fingers tharscwhat I feel threw out my whole body. The other way you need to make love. 2 min before you cum pay attention to your partner in the last 2 min you become one look deep in to each other's eye list in what they are saying and you are saying -
Sorry, girl. We romanticize love, and are influenced by the hormones in our bodies... and media.
In The Science of Attraction, it's called "Infatuation/Lust" phase. Your estrogen and his testosterone play a big part here. Unless you started getting to know each other. But then, it's still far from love. It's just the "Attraction" phase.

I believe in love at first sight! -
I met my wife when I started work with her over 10 years ago. I saw her in a sea of faces and turned to my buddy and said... I am going to marry her. I had never met her before and never saw anything but her face.
He knew her and said “dude she is married with a kid”
I said “yeah but is she happy”
then over a year period I watched from a distance as her ass hat husband cheated and eventually left.
Then I became friends with her for another year before I finally told her how I felt and made my move.
We have since gotten married and had a kid of our own.
We are the closest couple we know and have never “fought” we have disagreed many times but have always been respectful to each other.
She is my person and I am her person. -
Didn't select.
Would it really be "love at first sight" if the two doesn't know each other?
With me being young, I may catch feelings for someone just by having sex, but when that person shows their true colors, I'll distance myself from them; but theat depends if their true colors are good or bad.
I haven't had sex. It was just a small prediction from and for me. -
Nope. That’s pretty childish. There’s maybe a momentary attraction at first sight, but true love is deeper and harder to attain than to be superficially attracted to someone. This sort of lust, admiration, or being attracted to someone isn’t not love at its essence, but it could be some aspect of it.

Yes and no, attaction wise and behavior yes. But personality completely no. You can get there half way but the other half needs to be carefully considered as the honeymoon phase can blind you for the others faults where you need to know how you will respond to each other after the love goggles come off
-
I think so... I think sometimes you just know. I have felt that feeling only one time and it was for someone I actually wasn't really even attracted to I just knew he was going to be an important part of my life. When I saw him I had this really strong feeling that I knew him from somewhere. I didn't say anything but we ended up becoming very close friends. he's my best friend and I do love him. I won't push anything though. If things are meant to happen for us, somehow they will.
-
it can't be called "love"
Love is not something that depends on just looking at someone from a physical aspect.
You may say you can like a person or have a crush on them on first sight but love is something that can't exist without knowing each other properly.
It takes years to "love" someone -
I believe in the chemical response that we are talking to a new person that shows interest in you. The attractiveness and social interactions is what causes that chemical reaction to happen. It's the maintaining if that relationship that makes a good relationship

No.
People will be overwhelmingly attracted to each other at first sight and then fall in love later. Very often this is mistaken for love at first sight. But the initial feelings these people felt towards one another cannot be love. How can one love someone who they know nothing about? I don't think that's possible.
by the way, if I didn't know any better, I would have thought I loved my wife at first sight. But I do know better. - 373 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
There is no such thing as love at first sight. There is LUST at first sight. Love comes after you spent time with the person and jave established a connection. Lust can definitely open a door towards love. The lust is when the physical factor meets your standards. If their personality meets your standard, then it is easier to bond with that person (give you spend time with them) and love can build itself.
-
I voted no, but that depends on the type of love you're talking about. In romantic love I believe you can have erose love (basically lust) at first sight, but agape love (unconditional selfless love) takes time to develop. However ther is agape love outside of romantic relationships, such as in the Christian view of spiritual agape love, that can be at first sight.
-
Yes, people who said "no" obviously can't comprehend different types of love.
Love at first sight means: To fall in love with someone - the moment you see that person.
It's an instant attraction.
Unlike love at first sight, there is also love that was growing out of years of relationship.
That kind of love usually doesn't start as love at first sight, but there are exceptions.
Even love at first sight can become a long-term type of love (Depending on the people who are in love). -
I believe in lust at first sight and infatuation at first sight. Real love takes time to build. If, after the butterflies are gone, you’d still be willing to sacrifice your money, freedom, time, health, career, and life for someone else, then we can talk about love.
-
Yes I do. I met my boyfriend of 4 years in a bus. I saw a very tall handsome guy enter bus and I was instantly in love. Lucky for me, he sat next to me, said hello and started talking to me. Played some music and let me listen to it and took my phone number that day. Two days later, we went out and he confessed his love for me.
-
No. That's too superficial. A guy's appearance attracts me, but it's his personality that determines if feelings develop or not.
I need to know a guy on a deeper level before I fall in love. I can't possibly know his true character by first sight. -
My heart says yes but my logic say absolutely tf not because you can’t ever just Love and definitely not fall in love with a complete stranger because all it’d be based off realistically is looks.
I know you can find someone that your soul just feels “right” with but that still require time to confirm.
