Love at first sight
70Love at first sight
Do you believe in love at first sight? Personally, I do not believe in love at first sight. I am not saying that it couldn't happen. Well.. It could to some people. But it shouldn't happen. I wouldn't want someone loving someone that they really didn't know and then get their heart broken when it doesn't work out. Or even more worst than just their heart being broken.
First of all, I don't think you can love somebody by just glancing at them. I have always thought that if you truly love someone you need to know them as a person. Their likes or dislikes, personality traits, what makes them smile or makes them mad. You also have to like them for the little things. Such as their habits, or quirks. You can't tell all these things by looking at a person. Even if you stare at them for hours. Or stare deep into their gorgeous blue eyes, you will not know them or know about them.
Secondly, I think that love is not based on looks. I absolutely believe that "Love is blind" (-Geoffrey Chaucer) because you need to know someone before you can even come close to loving them. What about blind people? They can't see people, so they have to get to know someone before they love people.
Finally, "You can't judge a book by it's cover". What if you love them when you first see them, then they turn into total.... jerks? I feel that you can meet someone that you aren't attracted to but as you get to know their personality. Either they make you laugh or they laugh at you. But you become friends and develop a relationship and all of a sudden they seem cuter to you. Just because you like them as a person, their appearance improves. What if your one truelove or soul mate is not your type and you don't bother to look at them, than how can they have love at first sight?
There are many more reasons why I don't believe in love at first sight. But it is just my opinion, I am sure there are a lot of people who believe they fell in love when they first saw someone. Best wishes to them, but I still don't think it can happen.

Haha but that is a different kind of love Hoodala.
Love at first sight is like a burp, it bubbles up inside, but as soon as something stinky comes out of your mouth, it vanishes.
haha story is right!
I really agree with the second pararaph. Good arguments you have there :)
I don't believe Love at first sight too. It never happens to me.
Thank you Del Solu. Love at first sight never happened to me neither.. but that is not why I don't believe in it. I personally wouldn't want it to happen to me. I wanna love somebody for who they are... and if they are good-looking, then that is just a plus! Ha-ha.
Tayler!
Love at first sight is great - and does happen. Unfortunately, it usually doesn't last forever. Great hub!
dsletten- I would think if love at first site does happen, it would last forever? But I am no expert. Thank you.
Tayler!
How could it?You can't love someone if you don't know them.Great hub by the way:)
hey i know that its true but sometimes you can fall in luv with in some once u notice that he is hot!!!!! but that cant always happen, right? Its fate!!All in God's hands!
Love at first sight CAN and does happen. When I met my youngest son's father, his heart seemed to reach for mine with our first glance into each other's eyes, and as we got to know each other that love grew into something that rivals some of the greatest love stories ever written. Right now, we are going through a lot of things that should have severed our love for each other, but our hearts have been intertwined since that first meeting. It was not something that was based entiely on looks. There was a connection of souls that felt so right that it brought a tear to my eye. There are people that have known each other all their lives that have not felt that. I am his "EVE" and he is my "ADAM". I feel that I was made to be by his side and I know that he feels the same way about me. We have been together three years and we look forward to working out our problems and spending the rest of our lives together.
Love at first sight is there for those who are willing to take a chance on it. The key to making it last is getting to know and except each other once you get acquainted. Many mistake lust or infatuation for love at first sight, but being a true romantic, I knew what I was feeling from that first second and I felt his shared response with everything in my being.
Great hub, by the way. Just because I don't agree doesn't mean that it is a bad hub. You take a compelling stand. If I had not experienced it for myself, I would be inclined to agree:)
Tootles!!
I am on the list of people that know that love does happen at first site sometimes. My daughter and son-in-law met in an airport across the isle of the airport and my son-in-law said ...he was going to ask that girl out. He moved around the plane and made his moves and the rest is history.
I now have three grandchildren and one on the way.
The whole story is beautiful and will always be one of the moments I am glad I was there to witness it all. I did not believe that such a thing could happen either ...you just have to be there to see it happen.
To make things more interesting ...our flight was canceled because there were not enough people for the flight and he lost his day planner and missed his plane ..which put us on the same plane.
Now we could say other forces were working too. Hummmmmm ....interesting!
Great article ...good thoughts.
