Do you believe in love at first sight?

[screamtobeheard]

I don't know if a thread like this has been posted before, but I'm legitimately curious. I myself, don't know what to think (for various reasons). Feel free to share why you think one way or another.

No. You can't just like someone as soon as you see them. Feelings need to be developed for that person; and things like that take time.

yeah I believe in love at first sight

[Extreme586]

I didn't and still somewhat don't but how can I not when it's exactly what happened to me? It's really weird because I met this guy in the 7th grade during a combined school band concert. He was the cutest most adorable person I had ever seen and I couldn't stop taking glances at him every chance I got. Then in high school we sort of met and we even sat next to each other for part of the year.

I'm all for a person's personality and their looks second but to this day I haven't ever had that same feeling I got when I first saw him. Needless to say after I met him I soon found out why, absolutely amazing person who's full of love and who truly cares about everyone else around him before himself.

Now I'm not sure why I would know how amazing he is just from seeing him that one time before high school, but the feeling was very different from those I get from just seeing a really good looking guy. I knew he was the one right away, I would even venture to say that I believe it may have had to do with a higher power telling me he was the one.

Yes without a doubt! My boyfriend is someone that I just looked at at and fell in love, his mannerisms and how he carries himself along with him being stunning definitely had a huge impact on me!

I do!!!! :D

I never have. Even as a kid, I thought the whole thing was silly. I laughed the whole time I read Romeo and Juliet, because I mean, come on, seriously?

But then I met Seth. And it's so cliché, but it was love at first sight. It's complicated though. I always thought that love at first sight meant that right off the bat, you were completely in love, just an immeasurable amount. And that seemed stupid to me. But it wasn't like that with Seth. I didn't just instantly realize he was my soul mate. I just couldn't stay away. I didn't know him well, really at all, but I could feel that my life would never be the same if he wasn't there. I wanted to be around him, wanted him to like me, and the first time he told me he loved me, I realized I already knew that I loved him too. I'd loved him the whole time, in a way. It's different now. I don't just want him around now, I need him. But no one can ever tell me now that love at first sight isn't real.

This post is spot on! You did a great job describing it!

[clueless_one]

I don't the first girl I liked showed signs of liking me at first and then she said "Your a great friend" but I still tried to find a chance with her, same with all girls. Never worked out so no I don't believe in love at first sight.

[PinkFloyd]

I believe in it. I think I had it when I first saw my girlfriend. That was 2 years and 7 months ago. We are still together.

[hipster101]

I totally agree with louberry. I don't think you fall for someone like instantly...I think that your curiosity gets the better of you and emotions take over...you can't get them out of your head. I never talked to Mackenzie...now she is the most important girl in my life.

[screamtobeheard]

I never believed in it either. Quite frankly, I didn't believe in love at all until very recently. But when I met Tim, there was just something about him that drew me to him. I found my eyes wandering to him whenever he was around. It wasn't that he was attractive or funny or athletic or anything like that. There was just something beautiful about him. The way he moves, and the way he talks, and the way he cares about everyone, whether he likes them or not. I didn't think it was love at first sight until a few days ago, but I realized that I've loved him since the moment I met him.

[Elysium]

No, I don't. I'm skeptical when it comes to love altogether.

[Unique Physique]

No, what people call "love at first sight" is just plain normal physical and mental attraction.

A fit guy (or gal) can enter the room, look good, and have a nice demeanor and have you convinced that it's "love at first sight" - but once you get speaking to them, you realise you're not compatible at all for whatever reason. On the other hand, you could end up connecting really well and end up going out, but that's still not "love at first sight".

[Discover]

yes, I do

[Miserabilia]

I don't think you can just look at someone once and be in love. I do beleive that once I really am near someone, and hear them speak, even if its only once, I can be in love, because its happened once

[COD MASTER]

yes that is how i found my current girlfriend and soul mate

[AvMan]

Love at first sight was the case with my gf!

[DerBear]

I voted yes and this is the strange part as usually I'd vote no to this question.

I think you can develop an attraction at first sight but love takes sometime to develop.

[justin 13]

I do.

[nice]

I think there is love at first sight and then there is lust at first sight. The case of Romeo and Juliet was lust at first sight Romeo was just some lonely sad ass kid looking for a home run. But with live at first sight you might see that person and think their cute but something about them draw you to them and makes you wanna know them better and like your heart skips a beat every time you see them.

[Perfectly Flawed]

I do not. I'm not even sure if I know what love feels like. I have had people get close to me, but I have always been able to throw them aside if they become a burden. That doesn't sound like love to me, but maybe it is. Even family I can't seem to care about deeply. I'm just not that emotional of a person.

[Vocabulous]

no. saying you believe in love at first sight is like believing in judging a book by its cover. falling in love with someone based solely on looks is, to be concise, pretty shallow.

[Synyster Shadows]

I don't think it's love at first sight; I think it's lust at first sight. Well, it depends what you mean by sight. If you mean just laying eyes on them as they walk into a room or such, that's definitely lust. But if sight includes seeing them and starting a conversation with them, that might be something, but still not love. This girl I like/love, call her M, I met last year, for example. M is really beautiful and nice, but I know I didn't get to talk to her that first time I saw her. It was lust at first. Then I started to talk to her a bit, and it developed into a mental attraction as well as a physical one. Now, I need to tell her how I feel and hope for the best.
But back to the point, no I don't believe in love at first sight.
