I have not yet felt love at first sight, but others have said they have and too this day they still believe in it. I guess in some way I believe in love at first sight and I don't. Love is about how you feel with that person, about that person and how much they have grown to love more with you over time. Love is how you care and need for that other, how they make you feel good and better because of them, how no matter what they always seem to amaze you and are glade to have someone like them in your life. Someone you know is your best friend, who your comfortable to do anything with then and you can see yourself old and grey, through good and bad times with them till the end with no regrets.

I think that there is love at first sight. Just not the same love as love forever and ever. I mean, there are different types of love. One is when you first see someone and you are physically attracted to them. Another is when you know you will spend the rest of your life with that person. And another is when you have a family member that you love. These are all different loves. So, if I understand you correctly, I think you might mean the physically attracted love. Because all the other loves will fall into place after. :)

People "fall in love" at first sight, but making decisions based on that is dangerous. The most important things in a relationship are trust, stability, committment, and integrity, and you can't determine those things on sight.
A previous answer mention "lust" at first sight, which I at only partially agree with. The first impression, how someone dresses, how their posture looks, whether they have perfect dress and hair, can tell you something about their priorities and values.
But that's only good for a day. In order to find out whether they pay their bills, can hold down a job, or eat all the food in the fridge, you have to know them for a longer period of time.

No...I believe there is "intense like at first sight" but it takes time for that to turn into a love that will last.

I suspect that there could be love at first site, but since it would be indistinguishable from various other possibilities (lust, projection, delusions…) I don’t think that we could KNOW it was actually LOVE until much later. But to really understand love at first sight could be possible, we need to take into consideration that there are many forms of love, and what turns out to be romantic love or some broader spiritual love at first site could start out as a mixture of different kinds of love, along with lust and possibly some projection and delusion. The real love at the core of “love at first sight” is probably just a kernel of some spiritual connection, combined with the sort of love that one can have for humanity, or for friends, or for God/Goddess. As the projections and delusions start to drop away, the kernel grows into genuine romantic love, and then into the deeper sort of spiritual connection that grows between people who commit to each other and spend their lives together.

i do not believe in love at first sight because you cannot love someone unless you get to know them first

I do. One night I saw a girl on the dance floor and I was spell bound. I walked right up to her and asked her if she had ever kissed a stranger. I had never done that before. Anyway, we kissed and dated passionately for over 3 years. I loved her dearly then and love her today, but I blew it - we no longer go out and she won't even talk to me. But I knew the moment that I laid eyes on her that I loved her. It was just the way she moved and smiled.

no, coz there is no such thing as love at first sight. there is however lust at first sight. do you know how many men came up to me and " oh baby i fell in love with you the very first time i saw you" speaking from experience it is all crap. this love at first sight is so overrated.

No. I think that you should know the person to see if they have any thing common with you before you know if you like them.^_^
