While love does take time and getting to know the person, to develop, there is something special that can happen when your eyes first meet with that certain someone. I believe this is the phenomenon that is referred to as "love at first sight", even though I think of it more as an "unbreakable connection at first sight". I'm not sure how to explain it, but it happened to me 10 years ago, and I'm still in love with that same person (who's also the only person I've ever loved so far). I did not think it was love at the time our eyes met. I didn't know what to think, because I didn't know them yet. All I knew was that, here was this complete stranger, and I couldn't stop thinking about that moment when our eyes met. Why? A few months later, we did finally meet and start talking, eventually becoming friends. A few months after that is when it hit me that I was in love.
So I think that the first time your eyes meet with someones, there can be a connection that occurs that will never break for the rest of your life (even if things don't work out, that connection will always be there, and you will always remember and think of that person often), but, before you can call it love, you have to get to know the person first.

No i believe in lust at first sight which might develop into love, but love takes a deeper connection that invovles truly knowing the other person, and accepting them. I think there are too many relationships out there that are based on lust and the people confuse it for love

Yes, absolutely! My senior year in high school was when it happened to me. I was introduced to the new German foreign exchange student, and mind you, that no one in school had ever dated an exchange student or even really hung out with them. He was different. I was attracted to him the moment I saw him (blonde hair, blue eyes) and didn't know how to act or what to say. It was hard to start something with him at first because of the whole- no one ever dated foreigners before, so we were friends for about 6 months before we started dating. Those 6 months I remember always having some kind of feelings for him that I wanted him more than just a friend. We always flirted, hung out 24/7, and I was overly protective and sometimes jealous of any girl that went near him. It's been 5 years now, and we're still together...and my love for him grows more and more each day.

Love at first sight can happen, but it usually is not a true love and is not long lasting, especially if it is love at first sex. True love takes a lot of time and effort to develop. You can fall in love with someone easily, but you can also fall out of love with that same someone just as easily.
True love is a love that will grow stronger with every experience that you share, both good and bad. It takes good times together to experience the happiness that makes couples work so well together, but it takes the bad times together to experience the soul growth that a couple needs to make sure that they can commit to each other as life partners and make a go of a long term relationship.
It's very easy to be with someone when everything is going good. But when things take a nose dive and times get really tough, thats when you see that person for whom they really are. Every nitty, gritty, annoying aspect of their soul will come to light.
And as long as this is a healthy relationship for both of you and if you can still say, "I love you with all my heart". then that's true love. And if they can say the same thing back to you when they see the darkest side of your soul, then you have a relationship that should last for eternity.
Love at first sight? Who cares???? I want love at last sight!!!

No! Absolutely not. Love at first is merely lust and a relationship built on lust will quickly dissolve. Love takes time. Time to know one another and to build trust.
