First sights, or whatever. /reallybadtitle

Do you feel that there is a such thing as being strongly attached to someone at first sight? Sort of like a love at first sight type of thing?

I've never really believed that anyone was capable of loving someone fully right off the bat. The idea was always just silly to me because who would really think 'I SEE YOU, OMG I LOVE YOU.' No but seriously, I never actually thought that even after getting quickly acquainted with someone you were capable of having such strong connections with them. After all, it takes a while to learn someone, to get to know them, and build an actual relationship filled with emotions and love.

But three weeks ago I met my current boyfriend, and although I don't know that much about him, there is so much room for growth between the two of us. I can honestly say that after the first night of talking to him, I didn't want to stop. And ever since that first night? We've spoken pretty much nonstop - minus through school and work and other small things. I've become so attached to someone I barely know, and while I may not believe in love at first sight, I feel as though my connection to him was extremely different compared to anyone else. And because of this? I've let him into my life, and I'm going to continue to open up to him in hopes that he does the same.

And truly I love him.
May not be in love, but if something were to happen, I'd be devastated.

But anywhos, what're your thoughts? :3

I do but I don't. I don't believe in love at first sight but I do believe that you may be strongly attracted to a person. After you get to know them pretty well then it'll seem like you were meant for each other.

I'm gonna go out with a girl I've been texting/talking to for about 2 weeks now. I went over her house a couple days ago and had a real good time.

We get along pretty good and we both have a strong attraction towards each other. We don't know each other completely but were really good friends right now:D

And I hope everything goes good with you and your boyfriend:D

Aww. Best of luck to you and her. :D Hopefully things continue to go as well as they did at firsttt.

And thank you. :3 I hope they do too.
we both suck at conversation though, so it's going to be hard. D:
but well worth it.

I think you pretty much nailed it Haven - There's a huge difference between loving someone at first sight, and being in love with them. Being in love is an incredibly complex series of emotions and connections that simply can not be experienced upon first glance. Romantic love is something that has to develop over time, albeit it develops for some quicker than others, but I think the very definition of love in that sense requires it to be elaborated over time.

But I feel the same way about feeling a strong connection with someone after just meeting them. I've had a few really strong connections through VT when I first met people, and I've also had some incredibly soulful introductions with complete strangers on the train, or on a park bench: sometimes the universe throws us some pretty intense experiences out of the blue. But as a general concept, NO I don't think that intensely passionate, I'll-love-you-forever 'love', is possible at first sight.
