Love at First Sight

People take "love at first sight" too literally.

And lust. Lets not forget about lust.

I don't believe in love at first sight-

You are not romantic persons, though. If you don't feel love at f.s. it does not mean that it does not exist. You have not seen for example atom, but you know, that it exists, don't you? There is the same case. Love at first sight exists at least for thoose who felt it.

Ну Ну. Весна на дворе, птички поют, лубовь с первой встречи. Романтика.

Love at first sight may not be something you can prove the existence of (same with heaven and hell and God and the curse that is on the Chicago Cubs), but it is also soemthing that cannot jsut be dismissed.

for thsoe that have never felt it, that just might be because they never met someone that they jsut felt that connection with, and there is nothing wrong with that.

On the other hand, there are plenty of pople that have felt and expereinced it and followed through on it. And there is nothing wrong with that either.

It's not really a subject that you can prove or disprove. I think the ones that have felt it are probably the ones that are the more sensitive/emotional and romantic at heart, the ones that always dreamed or dream of meeting "the one".

Likewise, the ones that have not felt it, are probably just the more pratical people. And nothing wrong with that either, as I can see why some would think the idea of love at first sight to be impossible; and I respect that even though I do not agree with it.

Exactly! I think that we discussed this topic enough to say something else. As for me I will not discuss it any more.

^ So you're saying love at first sight is scientifically verifiable, like an atom? And I should take a microscope with me the next time I go to a bar to meet girls?

By saying so I mean that love at first sight is a kind of things that don't need to be proved. You just know from other people that it exists and you have no doubt about it, becouse you believe them (other people). That's my last word.

To be honest, I haven't seen that rule and still can't find it. Seriously.

Maybe when i first saw Titanic, ofcause. But i wont raise my hopes up

As per my last post in here being December, still a huge no on this.

You can see a person and feel something for them, but not love, at least not true real love, which is the only kind.

If we go "love at first sight" as you see someone and just think you wanna be with them forever, no you gotta be kidding.

Now, if we change it to the 1st time you see and converse with them, i'd still say no, but that's more logical as opposed to just thinking you see someone and you "fall in love" instantly.

The word "Love" and words "I Love You" are thrown around so much today, they've lost their shine. I've seen it used too much just as an excuse to have sex or to get with someone really quick without really meaning it.

So all in all, no. I don't believe in it and never will.

It means..your instincts and your genes are telling you that this is a desirable reproductive vessel..

to asnwer to the thread, i think love is a choice. and i always thought if the loved one didn't existed or just had never been introduced, we could be in love with someone else who's also could be close to us, a friend, neighbours' cousin, a fellow worker and the fact is, even if we could be in love with those people, we are not. so this is also a choice of "not to love". by it i don't mean "stop loving" but i talk about this moment between, seduction, friendship, discover of the person and the moment where you feel in love. when you must chose between stop this intimacy or develop it. of course the situation is not the same if we are monogamist or polygamist.

anyway, i don't believe at love at first sight where suddenly you think "that's him" and pretend this is a psychic stuff for reproduction is very stupid because also gays people can feel this kind of feelings. for me this kind of crush on someone is the answer to an empty affective life (doesn't mean non-existant) because when we fell in love with someone we don't just love this vision of him, but we also love his personality. we try to dig into his intimacy, we create an identity who often answers to our own affective needs. we love the idea of love : love someone and be loved; but in fact we don't love this person.

of course, every situation can be different because of our needs' intencity and our capacity of discernment, but often we realise that the person wasn't what we expected and then we stop loving him. of course it's also depend of our personality and objective. more we're basic and easier is the way to find a partner. (this also work with humour. that's why people often talk and jokes about this). everybody have the capacity to understand the "low" level and vulgarity. of course everything depend of your personal need and aspirations, but for someone who looks for well, more developped and specific hobbits/conversations, things get harder...

don't believe in love at first sight because i think love is at first the "knowledge" of each other. we know the person we love and we must love them for who they are and not for that's we could imagine they are and the things the could bring to us. by the way fall in love of someone that you absolutely don't know, it disgusts me. for me it's not cute or lovely but a kind of superficial regression. love someone for his beauty or me that's very mean, vulgar and unrespectfull. for me love must be deep and fusional. at the point where you don't need to talk to understand each other and love the person even many decades after his death and never fall in love again. if i felt very in love and this person deseapper, i would refuse to be in another relationship and i would prefer to become a nun or something like this. love too many different people banalise this act and make people exchangeable and i don't what it. i have the power to chose so i want something unique.

anyway, that's also why i think it's so easy to love a kid or an animal because their intentions, their personality are often "pures" and the risk to get wrong is lesser. hate come from the desirs/lust and misunderstanding (also irritation, but here it's a result)

Absolutely agree with love at first sight.

The very first time I saw my man my very first thought was "that's the man I'm going to marry" (and yes I was seeing someone at the time so I wasn't looking for someone) . . . 8 months later we moved in together, a year and a half later we got married and have been married for 10+ years. Still very happy, and very much in love.

I never believed in love at first sight till Chris came into my life, and now I'm a FIRM believer that you'll know instantly *or at least within a day or two* if he/she is the one. That kind of love was something I'd never felt before, even with some of my longer term ex's who I thought and felt I was hopelessly in love with that the time.

^ That's so sweet

I believe in it.

Yes, I believe it, but it's not easy.

depends on the day  .... on odd days I do .... on even I don't

1000% yes!

When I first met my husband I knew within minutes of meeting him we were going to end up married and that I loved him o.o.

We met in the beginning of 2000, by July of the same year we moved in with each other and the next year got married on Oct 25 2001. We've been happily together ever since

Yes, too much, actually

no

No

Yes,I believe in it.It's mostly admiration at first,but in many times,it eventually turns into love.

No, I don't believe it.  At least not sustainable love.

But Edita comes pretty damn close:
