True love is from God. I'm a Christian, I believe in God! And for that reason I believe that there is love at first sight. God sometimes maybe lets people (like me) see right away who He intended them to love and marry. Love is different with everyone because we are all different! You can't describe true love for anyone! Everyone's experience of loving or being in love is totally unique. Because we area all unique!
I am so tired of the people that say smugly, "i believe in lust at first sight" because they don't know. I don't have problems with lust, and I have experienced that feeling of "wow, look, there he is, the guy I was created for". I just looked at his eyes from the side and I got that feeling. I wasn't looking at his body at all.
Please believe me- that even if it hasn't happened to you, or never will, it is POSSIBLE
Please do not listen to these other people. Although they mean well, I know personally that there can be real, true, lasting love (not LUST or INFATUATION! Boy am I sick of those dumb words! People just use them to sound grownup and wierd and fancy shmancy! {not to "dis" you other folks, but that's what it seems like to me :)} at first meeting- and yes, even at first sight. As to what it feels like... everyone is totally different. If you think you are in love, and you love someone very much, more than any one else, than you ARE in love- for the time being. You may, who knows, some day, find someone else who you will be able to love even more. Not because you didn't love the first one- you did, as much as you could at the time. But each new person you fall in love with you seem to be able to love more. Who can say whether we are all in love a dozen times in our life, or if we only "really" love one of those people, or if we never "truly" loved any of them? Love is different for every person, at every different time. Sometimes it makes you sad, sometime it makes you happy, sometime insecure, sometimes confident. No one knows. But if you think you're in love, then tell yourself you are and go with your emotions, whether you become mournfully melancholy or exuberantly happy. There is nothing sweeter than feeling something deeply and telling yourself you're in love, whether it's for an hour or a lifetime- or eternity.
I fell in love from first sight with someone I only met once a year ago. I still am. For many reasons in a long story, we can't contact each other, nor do we "date" so there isn't a questions of all that "faithfulness" junk. But I knew at the first second that I was made for him and someday God will see we marry and live happily ever after. Sometime I will type up the whole story and post it on every "love at first sight" page and question and blog in the whole wide internet. Again, I am not saying that love at first sight is the only right kind of love. Maybe you will hate the person you eventually fall in love with! Maybe it will take you years to gradually love them! Who knows? I am not saying that it is the only true kind of love. With some people, it may take a while to fall in love with their soulmate. But love at first sight is so very possible! Sometimes the good Lord is kind enough to show you right away. Like he showed me. The moment I saw him standing there, I knew all about him. His character- how kind and sweet he was, how helpful and patient. And don't say I was judging a book by its cover. Later in the day I met up with him again and talked to him for five hours at that wedding reception. And my first impression- that split second thought of "this is who I was created for and am meant to marry" was strengthened. And he is in my every thought and dream. I don't give a passing thought or glance to anyone else- it's just out of the question. I’ve only seen him only 3 times over the years. It’s been so long. But I still love him! I do! It’s real! I fell in love when I was only 13. But that’s how old Juliet was, and it was love at first sight and no one questions her! No one says “Oh, Juliet was so dumb, she didn’t REALLY love romeo, she just killed herself because she THOUGHT she did”. Why should you say that about me?
There is love at first sight.
Not lust.
Not infatuation.
Not a crush.
Not a passing attraction.
Real, true, lasting, beautiful, perfect love.
Believe.

Love at first sight is more often that not infatuation. Without knowing the individual in question, you cannot judge character, personality or compatability. You may end up getting along great and truly falling in love with some one, and that relationship may have started as love at first sight. But this is not always the case. Give time and communication before you assume that the individual is right for you, or you right for them. Looks do not tell all. Personality is more important.

Positively, I am SURE. - Love is something that you work on and at, so if you feel like you are into someone right from the start it is possible to make it be the "real thing"/"right one".
Love is all dependant upon what you put into it and love at first sight is a perfect time to build it into FOREVER!

I believe that love rarely exists between a man and a woman if at all. It is hard to say, everyone wants something. I just don't know. Love at first sight yeah, it exists,but it is even more rare than love. Good Luck with that, I guess.

Love at first sight may be misleading. The attraction could be there, but once you really get to start knowing the person, that attraction that you thought would be there may or may not still be there. It is possible, but unlikely.

I think Love at first sight is overrated. But I do believe in ATTRACTION at first sight.

no, because love is such a misused/overused term that love at first sight means absolutely nothing and is just a phrase. Hence, love does not exist, so love at first sight cannot.

Yes, I do. It happened to me 29 years ago. I'm still married to that wonderful man. Our love grows finer each day. We missed each other whenever we were apart and celebrated the days we were together. It's still that way today. Love takes work and commitment but when love's arrow hits you you know it and are more than willing to put forth the effort love takes. We both knew we were meant for each other the day we met. We also knew we would work to make it last.

No. You have to actually know a person before you can love them. You can love how they look, or how they carry themselves, but actually "love" them... not at first sight.

No. To fall in love means to really connect with a person after dating for a while. NOT just looking at a person and exclaming, I love this person. Love is not just something that can be fooled around with. You really have to like look deep and feel for the person after being around them for a while, and I don't mean like 2 seconds...
