   Love at first Sight....hmmmmnnn
   
   No I don't believe it.
   I believe in an instant attraction,lust,infatuation.
   You can see someone and instantly feel a connection to them- I believe love needs time to grow

   Definitely believe in having a connection with someone instantly. Call it chemistry. Call it intuition. But, Love comes a little later.

   i found this one from somebody on the internet
   "Hi all,
   
   I have had a love at first sight experience, one which logically makes no sence, one which I can't explain, even one I struggle to believe in. But it has happened no matter how I try to deny it I cant forget about the girl I love.
   
   I liked her a lot when I first saw her, and with each passing day my feelings grew and do to this day(8 years on). Yet its entirely illogical, I barely ever knew her at all and we only talked briefly on a few occasions, yet still after around 4 years since we last spoke, and 3 since Ive seen her my feelings are as strong, or even stronger than ever.
   
   I find myself, although I am not a religious man, praying for her; not even just for her safety, but for her happyness. I would still give up anything for her, do anything, with virtually no bounds; all for a girl I barely know.
   
   It's not lust of this Im sure; lust doesnt last years and though I thought she was stunningly beautiful my friends told me she was nothing special in appearance. Whats more I would happily remain a virgin for life and give up sex entirely in exchange for being at her side forever. In the years since, up until only recently I even felt guilty persuing a girlfriend. I felt I was betraying my love for her. Only recently(the past few months) have I been seriously searching for a relationship. Somehow I have gotten past that train of thought, but still each day when my thoughts come round to her I cannot help the minor feeling of guilt in my gut and the feeling that with other girls it is and can only ever be lust.
   
   Im not even certain its love for surely for that to be so I would have to know her more? So what is it? It is something I cannot explain and have spent countless hours thinking of while thinking of her. But though I know her so little I can't shake the feeling that I knew her even before I met her 8 years ago, and that I loved her before I met her.
   
   When I was young, I used to dream of a girl my age and she was present in every dream I had. This girl was no-one I had met before, she was not on TV, I guess a little like an imaginary 'dream' friend. I remember my last ever dream of her while I was still a child. She said goodbye to me, and explained she wouldnt be returning to my dreams; I cried as we said our goodbyes and she told me we would meet again.
   
   I woke in tears over the loss of my dream-friend, and to this day I can recall no dreams of her since, my feelings of frienship for her as a child are the only thing similar to my feelings for the girl I experinced love at first sight with. I cant seam to shake the belief they are one and the same and yet it goes against all logic, it cannot be possible.
   
   The day I first revealed my feelings for this girl was the last time we ever spoke. She came to me that night in a dream and said goodbye; it was the old nightmare all over again with the real girl in the place. I woke crying once again and soon after she left my life in reality. As she lived in the same town as me I saw her once or twice but never spoke to her again. Its been three years sience ive seen her, and I believe she may have moved to somewhere else.
   
   I even find myself wondering if she ever existed or I imagined her in reality, however Im thankfully not insane as my friends knew her too. So can anyone care to try and give an explaination for my feelings, or perhaps even this bizzare dream girl i knew a few years prior to meeting the girl I love?
   
   Thankyou all for listening,
   
   Mark"

   And another one
   "I think I believe in Love at first sight now, I am married 27 yrs 2 kids and I was in another city in an airport and saw a woman standing in line for a ticket 40 feet away and our eyes met and I almost fell down . The emotional feeling that came over me when we looked into each others eyes almost made me cry, I hadn't felt anything like this in my life. A little while later we met at a snack bar and made small talk, I was just like a schoolboy tripping over my tongue and blushing. We exchanged business cards and haven't stopped calling and emailing now for two months, we are making plans to get together and I know that I would give up everything I own and my marriage for this woman.
   Love at first sight? you tell me"

   "One day I was at work and I received a phone call from a vendor. One word led to another and the salesperson on the other end, we’ll call him Chris mentioned that his best friend, his wife, insisted that he had to spend the weekend with family instead of work. He said he worked the weekend before and she wanted to spend time with him.
   
   I sighed and exclaimed, “That’s so wonderful that you call your wife your best friend!” which prompted him to tell me the story of how they met.
   
   He said it was a regular day for him. He was driving across an intersection when his eyes, in a flash, met with the most beautiful female eyes he had ever seen. Quickly, he said, something made him make a quick U-turn. He did not hesitate for a moment. He acted immediately. And, to his luck, so did she. Within minutes the two strangers pulled into a nearby venue and parked. Upon greeting each other, the flame that had ignited in that instant would only grow stronger.
   And, from that day forward, they were inseparable.
   
   He ended by saying he and his wife have now been married for over twenty years. He said that they have three beautiful children and while they were dating and throughout their relationship, he told me that people often referred to them as “Ken and Barbie”. He told me that he knows he is blessed beyond words.
   
   I could hardly speak when he was done telling his short, but sweet love story. I had tears in my eyes because it sounded like something straight out of a movie; a real life fairytale story. And, I know in my heart that many of the fairytale romantic movies created have been inspired by true loves stories.
   
   I know, in that moment, when I cried it was because I believe in love at first sight. I think in all of our hearts, we know that love in the purest form is this simple, is this perfect, and is possible.
   
   The eyes are, after all, the windows to our soul."

       I was a boy,probably 15 yearsold, that just happened to me, i’d say it was ahuge the effects . Never knew that girl before, while i was riding my bike, i felt like someone was looking at me, and then i slightly turned my head back, for the first time at the very first moment i got caught with her sight( i dont know its her sight or mine, but it was the eye contact between us), at that moment it’s just like BANG,TIME STOPPED, WORLD STOPPED,SPARKS, HEART BEATS 5 TIMES FASTER,BODY HEAT RISED,ECSTASY STATE OF MIND, AUTUMN LEAVES FELL(cause time was at sunset),TOTALLY STUNNED.I felt so happy as never before, i made weird smiles for myself, never stop thinking about her from that moment. IT IS THE FEELING LIKE YOU WANNA GET TO KNOW DEEPLY ABOUT THAT PERSON AND WANNA BE THEIR FRIEND FOREVER.
   
       now, i saw her around my town, but i havent got a chance to be her friend. She lives near my house though. I’ve travelled overseas since last 4 years,and every single day her image is still in my head.
   
       It’s just depression and frustration when you can not be together with the him/her.
   
       Very a few of ppl that has experienced the feeling.though ppl says you’re lucky, but i’d think otherwise, because after 9 years i cant get her out of my mind.
   
       1 important thing: i didnt choose her though,its kinda incident happened, i couldnt resist. if i had a chace, i’d wish it didnt happen to me.

   "      Love At First Sight Must Be Interesting
   
   
   To tell the truth I never fallen in love with any girl at first sight, but I really think love at first sight can be something interesting than love that comes out after relating with each other for a while.
   
   I know if sounds stupid for many, and some really feel love at first sight is a myth, well I cannot conclude it that way, as mentioned before I never fallen in love with a girl at first sight but that doesn’t conclude that no one can ever fall in love at first sight, if I did that must be stupid.
   
   I really think falling in love at first sight can be something interesting one of the main reason is when you can love a person at first sight it comes to a fact that you are not loving that person that are bound to some conditions, normally people don’t tend to fall in love unless the other person fulfills some conditions, but love at first sight is different you just fall for the person without knowing anything about that person and thats what makes it special and it can prove to be a great adventure ride two people who are in love.
   
   Again I think a person who can fall in love at first sight should be an interesting person, he/she should be someone special to me, they must be a kind of person who don’t listen to their mind and they are moving on for a person that doesn’t bound to any logic of the mind, they are just moving based on their intuition and what their heart says, The first card in tarot is fool, meaning one who is just moving based on his intuition and not bound to any logics of the mind."

    "
    Love at first sight is all around us, but the age old question is "Is love at first sight really real?" "Will a love-at-first-sight relationship last?" The media showers us with glimpses of Love at first sight through ad campaigns, movies, and best sellers. But is it real?
    
    Two years ago, I would have firmly said No. Love at first sight was for silly hopeless romantics who tricked themselves into thinking that there was something there. But that all changed. It was the first day back at school, a new year for me. I had vowed to venture out and make more friends, good thing too since I didn't know anyone in all of my classes. Finally the last class of the day came. I took my seat and anxiously scanned the room for someone- anyone who looked familiar. I was disappointed-none of my friends had gotten my chioce of this elective. The bell rang to begin class and I heard the teacher say "Come on." I looked behind me to find a tall man walking through the door. His eye met mine and there was something in that exchange of glances that I had never felt before. He sat in front of me near his friends, and we began to talk. Almost a week later we were dating, and now - two years later we are setting the foundation for our life together.
    
    One look is all it takes, folks. Love in any scenario isn't easy. You have to want a relationship and be willing to work, but if you're lucky enough to have that one glance the little spark that could change your life for forever then take it. My fiance wasn't my ideal type, it wasn't raw physical attraction. It was something deeper.
    
    Explaining love and trying to rationalize it is like trying to catch the wind. It would be almost impossible, and something you wouldn't want to do in the first place.Here is why-Love is a belief, a leap of faith. At one point every person reading this has experienced love. Whether it was for themselves, such as a high school sweetheart, or parents that loved each other more than life itself. Those are the little things that make up love. It is a connection. we see the lines used in movies all the time, they seem to personify the love at first sight experience. "Well how did you know?" a friend would ask, and the bride would say with a smile, "I just knew." Love is so many things, it is an emotion that overcomes all obstacles and engulfs the person instilled with it. Some people develop love over time but that doesn't mean those who fall in love at first sight don't have the real thing. It just means that they knew sooner that some."

    Not at all. I think you can have an insatiable attraction to someone, but that's not really love. In order to have true love you must love or at least accept every aspect of another. This isn't possible upon first glance. You may have lust at first site, but not love.

    Hmmm to a certain extent because some people will "Like" how a person looks and decide from that whether or not they would talk to them but as you get to know a person their looks plays a small part in it and Personality takes effect. so no i don't believe in love at first sight and really just take it as a figure of speech, Like when you see someone you know that you want to talk to them because of how they look but you don't necessarily "LOVE" that person you may just like their appearance!

    Maybe it's different for everyone but my mother always says that once you get to know someone they look different.
    
    I think when you first meet someone you are seeing a first impression - and if it is a good enough one you may experience infatuation. If you are lucky then this infatuation may be mutual and given a chance to flourish into love once it has been reinforced with solid personality compatability (or whatever it is that makes your relationship work.)
    
    I think a face changes over time. What you see as beautiful may become less so as you get to know the personality behind the face - just the same as you can come to love someone over a long period of time because you suddenly see something in them that you didn't see before.
    
    So...haha...I don't think I do believe in it as such - but I suspect that there is a mathematical probability that it does happen to some people entirely randomly. They are lucky there's much less hard work involved!!

       Wow you really hit the nail on the head!  Every time I have been in a relationship with a jerk, they did seem uglier and uglier as time went by.  Recently, I started talking to an ex again after not seeing him for fifteen years, and although I used to be really attracted to him, I did notice the physical attraction I used to feel for him had waned, particularly more as I remembered how distant and emotionally unavailable he had always been.  This made it much easier to walk away from him, and I felt much better about the whole thing because I got to apologize for my part in what happened (even though he never really apologized to me, but that had supposedly been the original intention for us talking).  Cheers!

    I had a friend that told me this same thing, that once you met the right person, you knew!  I went for years, not understanding what he meant...my mind could not even comprehend such a concept, because I had never experienced this.
    
    Then one day, I knew what he meant.  After marrying a person, I didn't love, and divorce.  Dating, and having men interested in me, that I wasn't interested in...well I got to a point where I was so sick of men. 
    
    It happened I met a man, my mom was trying to fix me up with, I kept telling her, if I am met to meet him, it will happen.  I wasn't taking things into my own hands anymore...no more initiating for me.  My experience proved I wasn't good at that, not good at trying to make a relationship work, that wasn't intended to work. 
    
    Well, the stresses of life, and being a single parent with everything that could go wrong, did.  I found myself on my knees on evening crying out to God!  "If I am worthy, of having a second chance with a man in my life Lord, please bring the right one, or no man at all. 
    
    I thought I could live single the rest of my life, the torture of getting to know a person and feeling like your heart is getting ripped out, that was getting too much for me.  So, I have to say, in my case, God answered my prayer, 1 week later, my husband asked me out.  6 weeks later we got married. 
    
    It did happen for me, even though I never believed in it before:)  We have had struggles and challenges, yet we knew beyond a shadow of doubt, that we were meant to be together! I can now, honestly say, we worked through those things of our past.  Now once again, happily married and in love:) We've been married over 10 years now:)

    The Beatles did.
    
         I believe that all creation is illusion that we have created from our own imaginations...so, therefore, there is always love at first sight.
    
         If we create who and what we see, in other words, we must have some affinity for the object to have been created.  And I think where we have forgotten this concept, have foregone our responsibility for its creation, we have caused our selves and so many others a great deal of difficulty.

    I do believe in love at first sight, but I think it's very rare, but I know it can happen, real love.

    I believe you feel attraction at first sight but love can come quickly after as your getting to know the person.

    I guess I don't believe in falling love at the first sight.
    Romance is fabulous but it's hardly to be real.
    Let's say there's a guy who is charming and you are fascinated by the first sight.But it takes a long time to know and know of a guy,let alone seeing through him.

    #4.  DEFINITELY love (or at least I was stunned and committed) at first sight.  She was framed in the doorway to her apartment, hosting a church potluck, wearing a calf length, filmy white dress.  Only married 1 year but still connected; see each other in dreams sometimes.  Still consider her absolutely awesome.
    
    
    now ghost, i have a similar story and it ends the same, without us being together. doesn't it make you sad, at least sometimes?
    
    anyways, my love at first sight came when i didn't believe in love at all. but the first time he spoke to me and looked in my eyes it felt as if the wind had been knocked out of me, i could barely reply. we dated. broke up. reconnected. he said all the things i fantasized him saying for the two years we were apart. and now its been about two years again and my heart is just in pieces. though i am in a committed relationship, i feel very guilty. but i can't help how i feel, damn love at first sight. because of that i fear i can never be content no matter how perfect my life, or my significant other, may be.
