Love at first sight is real. Because 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

I used to laugh at the idea of love at first sight.
Until it happened to me. I was on a study abroad program and was at a bar that had live music one night and saw this guy from across the room and instantly felt drawn to him, something I had never felt off of initially seeing another person. After about half an hour, he approached me and even though he was from a totally different culture than mine we talked for hours and hours, finished each other's sentences and both agreed that the situation was very strange and it felt like we already knew each other. Unfortunately, I met him at the end of my trip and we only had two weeks together and I left him during the early hours of the morning with a note telling him that I loved him, but it wouldn't work out based on the fact that we live in different parts of the world.
I was definitely in love with him, but the situation was what it was and carrying on a relationship like that would have been crazy. I don't know, that's my story at least.

Of course it's real and I'm proof. It was my first day of college and I heard a soft voice behind me. Something in my chest constricted and I thought that I was having a heart attack. Not figuratively, I mean that I REALLY felt pain in my chest. I turned around to see this cute woman. It took a while, but we started to date. After graduation, she moved home, ove 6,000 miles away!
Oh, I should mention that we are not kids. I am 36 and was getting a second degree. She was 31 and was getting a degree in English. Because of her family and citizenship problems, she could not live here, so after much heartache trying to live without her, I finally went to be with her. I worked very hard and after a few years we got married and I am REALLY happy!
So to those who don't believe, I can only say this...
YOU ARE WRONG!!! IT'S REAL!!!

No I don't. I think lust at first sight is very real though. Love takes a while to build, it doesn't happen over night.

No, absolutely not. Its definitely lust at first sight. You cant love someone before even speaking to them, and if you think you can then you shouldn't even be allowed to use the word!
