You know, this is a good question. I think that alot of people get the term "love at first sight" from movies and romance novels. But just because it happens to people in movies and books doesn't actually make it true. The truth is, I don't think that you can truly "love" somebody that you've never met and don't know as a person. You can love the way that someone LOOKS, but what you're feeling towards someone is probably more of a physical attraction.

It is hard to believe, but yes, it can happen.
Many feel this behaviour is called 'lust'. Others believe that this behaviour only leads to heart-ache and strife. While they believe what they want, here's my take on it:
I met this guy whom I thought was amazingly handsome, and of course pleasant and good-natured. What could I tell from meeting him just the once? After all he had his arm around someone else - so I figured, who was I to him?
I held off saying anything, other than the pleasantries of 'hello' and 'have a great day'.
A few weeks later, again I saw this gentleman - but this time, he was with someone else. Figuring he still wasn't ready to hear what I had to say - I decided, if I never open up he will never know.
When I did, he actually smiled, and informed me that though he was with someone at that moment, he wouldn't mind exploring this conversation further at a later time. I agreed on the premise that we did it away from where we first met.
We went out for coffee, and then dinner. After a great evening on learning about one another - the next day he invited me to a private dinner at his place - I accepted.
After many meetings, encounters and dates - I finally worked up the nerve to ask him to be my boyfriend. It took him a little while but he finally gave an answer of 'yes' that same day. From there the rest is history.
So to summarize and answer your question, YES, I do believe in love at first sight - it's the patience that comes along with that sighting that you must have in place - otherwise, nothing will ever happen or work out.
Thanks

Love cannot really be at first sight.. You can fall in love with their looks, but then talk to them and that person be about the ugliest person on the inside. You can have lust at first sight.

Yes happened to my husband & I.
though we didn't recognize it at the time.
It wasn't quite like instant love more like the the rest of the world didn't exist for those first moments and having this temendous feeling that this person was about to change my whole world.
We didn't even talk til 2 weeks after seeing each other the first time. This summer we'll be married for 9 yrs.
And I was never gonna get married! - HA!

I believe in lust at first sight... you can't fall in love with someone you know absolutely nothing about! You are instantly attracted whether it's the way they looked at you or just how they look.

Nope, I don't. There's no such thing. Now, lust at first sight I believe in.
How could you possibly know just from looking at someone that you love them? You don't know from looking at them what their beliefs and values are. You don't know anything about them.. and that's not love.

I think you believe what you believe.
If you think it exists then great if not - great. Love is relative. Just because you love someoen doenst mean they feel similarly for you.
In my expereince infatuation can be mistaken for love.
Since we are dealing with emotions it can be difficult to define what you are feeling.
It is best to follow your feelings but also establish limits and boundaries to ensure you are still living in the emotion but also are grounded by ration.
