    No i dont.
    Love at first sight is totally based on someone’s physical appearance and to love someone due to his/her outer look is attraction at least for me. Until you know someone’s nature you can’t love him/her.
    I think love comes from mutual understanding, care and passion. It is an inner feeling which cannot come from first sight.

    Sure, why not? There's more to these things than we can know, I figure.

    As much as we'd like to follow our heart, we have to keep ourselves levelhead until we get to know who we're dealing with and just take it one day at a time like any relationship. If the person really likes you, they'll want to bound with you beyond a quick rump in the bed. No, true love (only lust) doesn't happen at first sight.

    Is there such a thing as love at first sight?

    This is truly a difficult question to answer; however, I believe if should be looked at from a bit of a different angle. Perhaps when you first meet your "true aine love" it is indeed what some may refer to as an extraordinary coincidence. I would suggest (merely) that this coincidence is really "the hand of God" or perhaps we could call it divine intervention. Now before you abandon this argument as ridiculous. Think back - reflect back to some coincidences that have occurred in your past. We all have had some. Think about it.
    Perhaps a heavenly intervention brings two souls to same place at the same time; however, because of our imperfections we do not recognize its significance or our attachments (i.e. any selfish pursuits)clouds the significance of the moment.
    Therefore, I believe the answer is YES to this question; although you could argue it is not really love at first sight; it was already planned...

    Yes, Love is our nature. If you are not loving someone and I mean Love not sex which as nothing to do with love other than being one form of expressing love, then you are not being yourself. By Love I mean Love your self, your Mom, your brother ...etc.

    Love at first sight ? What is love ? Does anyone truly know the answer to these questions ?

    I know that I am strongly attracted to a lovely man...we meet very very occasionally as we live  far apart from eachother  but,when we do meet  we spend happy hours together....is it love or infatuation? I really dont know all I know is that time with him is so special and I want it to last always .

    You can definitely be drawn to a person on the first meeting - that happened to me and somehow I was attracted to him (now my partner) without even having much of a conversation. It was something more than physical attraction....however, I'm not sure I could call it 'love' at first sight, as I believe love has to grow - just the beginnings, maybe!

    Love at first sight, does it exist? Do you believe in it?  Yes, I do, I saw a post stating that everytime she and the person reunited it would end in disaster.  You know, I personally can relate to that.  I do believe in love at first sight, but when you are drawn to someone like that in such a drawn manner, it can bring on many things.  This guy and I have ups and downs, but I do believe we can overcome it.  Our main issue was being too young at the time and two people not getting exactly what they wanted.  He is someone that is now on the path to getting his life on straight and I'm growing in mine as well so now compared to past years I think we can make it.  There is kind of another issue, that is mainly the fact that the economy and finding jobs is difficult right now.  So for him, there's a struggle with that, but I do believe in it and that you can overcome anything....it has been so strong for so many years and I don't see it stopping now.

    It depends, but if you meet someone and you like him or her why not approach the person and if possible connect immediately otherwise how best can we know that we are in love if we dont follow what our hearts tell us

    My heartstrings are currently being held ransom by a man who fell in love with ME at first sight. (I say it was one-sided b/c when I first saw him, I thought he was married, so quickly abandoned the thought/hope of ever being mutually in love with this man. I later found out he was indeed "unattached".) He tracked me down like a Navy Seal(thank you, Facebook)and the last year and a half of my life has been a rollercoaster of fireworks... and burnt out embers. Because we, to some degree, fell in love at first sight, I cannot seem to relinquish my relationship with him and all the hopes of what it would someday become, all of which, upon seeing him, were inevitably cultivated by my hopelessly romantical dendrites. And especially after learning the "love at first sight" was mutual. Nevermind the things about him I know would make me deeply and importantly unhappy. Because we fell in love at first sight, I have it cemented in my soul that he should be the last man in my life. Heaven help me for the way I am.

    Well, personally I don't believe in love at first sight. But I have heard of dozens of people knowing who their right partner is with just a glance. I fall in love very slowly.. only after knowing the person completely.

    Wow..... Do you believe in love at first sight? hmm

    I wonder.... Does it work that way for a blind person? hmm

    I think intuitively that we know what we like and telegraph that to others who doing the same to us hmm That is what Clicks.

    NOTE: Lost Time will always be a testimony to the fact that it is a complete waste of time falling in love slowly! yikes

    yes, particularly for men.

    we are equipped with the ability to assess genetically viability in one look.

    So you can fall in love and fixate on a person with just one look.
    then it is confirmed with just one kiss.

    getting to know someone is just slowing down the process to make it more meaningful, to savor the process that took a mere instant to know. but we don't know who we love from the onset.

    Nothing like love at first sight. Its just lust at first sight. ah.. yeah because there is more to looks and you cant determine if you love them or not until yo get to know the real person and that is not possible at first sight.

    Definately yes...

    I have been in love with a guy since we latched eyes and he still drives me wildly insane.
    I cant get enough of him nor do I want to ever loose that feeling.  This might sound insanely obsessive but it is not.
    I get butterflies every time he kisses me or looks at me.  Sure it is not perfect but hey nothing is other wise this would be an ideal world we live in.

    Living and loving and letting go is what attracts and falling in love at first glance the rest falls into place....
