Does love at first sight exist, or is just a fantasy that people dream up? Do people believe in it because they want to, or because they need to? I believe in it. But whether I believe in it because I want to or need to, I don't know. Probably both. I'd like to believe that there is such a thing. The whole concept is fantastic-falling in love with someone the first time you see them and just knowing that they are THE ONE.
But I've always wondered how those people, those who claim love at first sight is real, know that the other person is the one for them. Is it intuition? Or a gut feeling? Or...what? And how do they not have doubts? How do they not second guess themselves? Love at first sight is an amazing concept, and a magical and fanstastic one at that, but is just that-a concept, or is real?

Hmmmm...Good question. I think it can be, but loving someone is harder than not loving them.
Love at first sight. Wouldn't that be grand. Walk past a guy and lights start flashing, bells are ringing, sparks are flying. How sweet and romantic.
Do I think it exists? Nah. Think about it: You're walking down the street and there are 2 guys. One is drop-dead gorgeous, the other is.... well.... drop-dead not gorgeous. Who would you imagine you'd be most likely to "fall in love" with? I'd guess that if you're picturing falling in love with a guy from the first second you meet, looks have to come into play somewhat. There is simply NO way to see someone's internal self at the first moment, so anything you're falling in love with must be externals.
Sorry.
Don't be sorry. I was just thinking about it. I'm not saying I believe in it, but I'm not saying I don't either. I'd LIKE to believe that something like that could happen, but reality is always different.
Yeah. As much as I don't believe in it, if it is one of those things that happens to 1 out of every 1,000,000,000 people - I hope I'm that one. :)
Me too. But then, I'm sure many people wish that too. Too bad we all can't be that 1 out of 1,000,000,000.
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us...
This week is really song week. I don't know what's gotten into me... :)
Lol! ROFL!!!! You're hilarious Hisb.
love at first sight isnt literal, it means that you feel an inastant connection after meeting.
Oh and its Bull- isht
Great post, yes it exists but not often will ppl find that.
CD-I wasn't talking about what it is, I was talking about it's existence. I'm sorry you feel it's bs though. Even if it doesn't exist, the thought that it might, that there's the chance, is a nice one.
SW-Thanks. It's nice to know there's someone else out there who believes in it.
I thanked you in private, but if you really need the shout out, THANKS HENRI!!!!!
I don't think that it exists...like hisbonenus said, looks have to come into play. I mean, our teacher told us that she was totally taken in by this guy who looked like he should be a model...he had all the looks and everything. I guess you could say it was love at first sight for looks. But then she got to know him, and she realized that looks aren't everything. He was like, psychotic, had to have his bathrobe on the proper hook, his shoes at an 80 degree angle so his feet would go into them...
Love at first sight just means that you're in love with their looks, not their personality...and that's something that you need to love more then anything else in the world. Looks don't stay with you...but personality does, and that's what's most important.
Here are some links that I believe will be interested
I think it can be real for certain people but not all people.
ok i have to weigh in here again, altho i'm not even sure how this works, if anyone sees my comments when they're this far back.
aviva i think you know my story a bit. after 3 years of dating someone i should (logically) have been a great match for, i had to break up with him because i couldnt get over my first love. which was indeed, love at first sight.
and no it wasnt a looks thing. he's not a drop-dead-gorgeous, model type. (altho i think he's pretty cute in his own way ;) in fact, when i first met him i didnt think he was particularly good looking. but there was just *something* about him. 4 years later, he's still my best friend and has the biggest place in my heart, and i know for sure that the connection i felt that first day, was real. he has charm, a great sense of humor, a strong sense of honor, and...well i could go on for a long time, lol. and i guess that must have shown in his face when i first saw him, because i knew from the first minute that he was "the one".
and of course the sad part of it is that he doesnt consider me "the one" for him. and i question why G-d would work that way. but with everything we've been thro together, #1. it's still possible for him to change his mind, and #2. i know i've been an important part of his life thro some major upheaval, and i feel BLESSED to have been a part of it and be there for him. if that's all i'm in his life for, i'm still thankful to be that for him.
and i'm way off-topic now. short answer, i do believe in love at first sight, rare, sometimes confusing, but wonderful in its own way when it does happen.
Irae-Yes, love at first is rare, definitely confusing, but it can also be amazing. I do know your story, and I'm sorry about your break-up, and that your first love doesn't feel the same. He'll come around someday, guys just take longer. I mean, who could not love someone like you?
I told you, STOP thinking so deep. I believe in it though. I also believe you can be mistaken with it.
