I don't believe in love at first sight. I think it is a simple idealization of the person because of its looks what do you think?

Love at first sight is when a person feels romantic passion for a complete stranger upon his or her initial encounter with the stranger. The term can be used casually to refer to a mere SEXUAL ATTRACTION or crush, but it usually refers to actually falling in love with someone literally the very first time one sees him or her, along with the deep desire to have an intimate relationship with that person. The stranger may or may not be aware that the other person has any such notion, and may not even be aware of the other person's presence (such as in a crowded place). Sometimes two people experience this phenomenon towards each other at the same time, usually when their eyes meet.
Only in extremely rare circumstances does a person fall in love with another at first sight.

I think you are on the right track. Love at first sight is merely lust at first sight, with the hopes and fantasies of a romantic thrown into the mix.
I have never loved anyone at first, or even second sight, but I have been instantly in lust many many times. Love is something that gradually grows as you get to know someone. Even then, love seems to be something that does not last. At least not in this day. A pity, because it seems that we are all searching for it, even those who say they are not. I think, in reality, we are searching for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Love, in its ideal form is unconditional, and allows the other person to be who they are, and very, very few relationships are based on those two qualities.

Love at first sight is attraction only, obviously.
Yes, psychological studies suggest each person has an archetype. You meet one that fits and ZING!

I think the same way too. Of course, you can never feel LOVE the first time you see a person because you don't even know them.

love at first sight does not exist. it is the idea of being in love that is the reality but when it comes down to it love is a mood. you have got to be in the mood to be in love or be loved for it to work. if the mood is not there it will not work.

I agree, it is not possible to be truly in love with someone you don't know.
