    No, I do not believe in love at first sight; however, I do believe in infatuation at first sight.

    Agreed. But I think that that infatuation can develop into love with time.

    I've only been in love once. When I first met her I didn't really like her that much. I wasn't even attracted to her. But over time that all changed.

    No. It's just lust.

    I'd like to think it exists, but I'm definitely only kidding myself.

    Yeah, kinda. :slight_smile:

    I know some may say its lust, but I believe in intuition leading me in the right direction.

    Kind of...I think "love at first sight" gets confused with "I thought they were really attractive when I first saw them."

    Like when you look at a guy in the mall, and he's really hot, but then you talked to him and end up dating him. To you, it was "love at first sight" when in reality you just thought he was hot.

    At least, that's my point of view.

    I absolutely, 100% believe in infatuation at first sight, and I believe under the right circumstances that can easily build into love...but love, itself, at first sight? No. Simply not enough of a connection to experience that profound an emotion.

    Infatuation at first sight. Similarly, in friendship matters, you can get that feeling that even though you just met, it's like you've been friends for years. From experience though, in love matters, I don't think long relationship can work if at first sight...

    For me the idea of "love at first sight" cheapens love. Considering if that was true, love could be induced so easily.

    No. You're stupid if you think what you feel when you look at a hot person is love.

    its time for that song again:

    I think there is, so yes. I guess my experience is a bit different. I met a guy through the internet and we decided to meet on a busy main street in the city. We hadn't exchanged photo's so neither had an idea what the other looked like.

    I saw a guy walking down the street about 200 metres away. Something just stood out, it was nothing in particular, but something inside me made me pick this man out of the crowd. Then suddenly it came over me, he's the one. It scared me. Nothing to do with physical attraction or infatuation, nothing to do with lust or intrigue. None of that butterflies in your stomach feeling. It was more uncomfortable, almost like am I doing the right thing. I did have a sense of being able to be safe. Then as he crossed the road, I suddenly realised he was walking directly to me. Turned out it was him.

    I couldn't look him in the eyes when we were having coffee. All the time I felt like this is the one. I didn't know whether to run or hide. He asked me for dinner. I almost said no, but eventually I said yes. That dinner was the beginning of a new life.

    Ten years later I feel the same. Only now there are butterflies in my stomach, there is physical attraction, there is everything and so much more :slight_smile: Is my feeling of love the same as that first day? No, not at all. it has changed vastly. It has grown with the passing years as we learn more and more about each other. I do feel love is an ever changing thing - that reinvents itself along the way during our lives.

    I know you'll probably dissect this into tiny pieces - perhaps to disprove all that I say - that's fine. I know what I know and that is enough for me. For me it is possible and before this experience I was a strong non believer.
