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 have only met twice in the past two years 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 people 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 found this poem many years ago on the MichelAngel website: Love at First Sight Do I believe in love at first sight? Forgive the laugh, but the question is so naive! Youthful fancies hardly encompass the complexities of mature relationships. True, you are quite beautiful, but one cannot know true inner beauty at first glance. It's much deeper and takes time to be revealed. Your skin is perhaps softer than the flowing foam of some gently murmuring distant shore, but what of it? That's not love. I do notice that your hands are more graceful than a ballet of swaying boughs and your laughter a dance of dappled sunlight. And in your eyes are glimmering pools of joy and tenderness, warm swirls of innocence and passion, playfulness and understanding. And in your eyes, Beauty laughs and plays and sings and calls my name. And Trust with Caution pleads and cooing Passion intervenes, and Grace extends her open arms, and I surrender silently. But love at first sight? How can it be?

When you see the person across the room, and you see eye to eye, and you think wow, this is the person I'm gonna spend my life with.....Run! If you ask me I don't believe in love at first sight.....Maybe attraction at first sight, but not love......Though I had attraction at first sight with someone and I got to know them, and so I am in love with them......But not love......So you might see someone and be attracted, but not love.......I think its a myth.....

No. I(t is just a super infatuation. Love is much more than a feeling, and it is certainly not sex. Sex is to reproduce only. Real love takes time to develop and grow.

I don't think so.Question you ask yourself. What am I in love with? Do you know this person? Pretty much your in love with there looks and personality. But are you in love with them as a friend? I think you have to get to know a person deeply to be in love with them.
