Love at first sight?

[Jack and Barbara 0]

Do you believe in love at first sight? why or why not?

I believe in lust at first sight!

I believe in attraction and interest in first sight. Love comes after you get to know the person.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

Yes, I do. But it is superficial. True love comes later after you feel a deeper connection.

[Marilyn. 340]

what if the deeper connection happened before you met in person??

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

I have to admit, Marilyn this was the case for us. We felt a strong connection without ever having physically met (and, yes, we used the "L" word between each other.) So, yes, it is possible in reverse. When my eyes met Alla's for the first time it served to seal the deal as I could now see she was truly for real.

IMO I don't think you can truly 'fall in love' with someone 100% until you know them in person. I think you can be in love with the 'thought' of someone though.

As for love at first sight... I don't believe in that. Lust? Yes. It takes time to develop a relationship.

aye, myself as well. Finally meeting in person confirmed that what we shared was real.

I have been on the other side of the coin, in that I met someone online, thought this could be "it", and found out otherwise when we met in person.

Love is a choice, not something that just "happens". (IMHO of course!)

yeah, this is what happened for me too...

my heart loved him before we met but my brain had to meet him in person to see that it was real.... and when I saw him I just knew and fell head over heals in love with him, heart, mind and soul.......

Well, for Sasha and I, it was as close to love at first sight as possible. We both knew we found our other half, pretty much immediately.

[SqdnGuns 21]

Yes, I am a victim of this..........

not really..possible lust at first sight is a better term..how can one fall in love with someone until they kn ow the person? their values/ their experiences/ their dreams and goals?

but for a lot of us who met online, we have discussed all those things before we met in person...

That's not really "love at first sight" then though. I mean, technically, it's the first time you've seen the person in the flesh, but since you already know the person, you've had a chance to get to know their character.

I personally think love at first sight is impossible (in the traditional sense...you see a person, know virtually nothing about them, yet fall in love) for the reasons that Dean stated above.
