Love at first sight is when a person feels romantic passion for a complete stranger upon his or her initial encounter with the stranger. The term can be used casually to refer to a mere sexual attraction or crush, but it usually refers to actually falling in love with someone literally the very first time one sees him or her, along with the deep desire to have an intimate relationship with that person. The stranger may or may not be aware that the other person has any such notion, and may not even be aware of the other person's presence (such as in a crowded place). Sometimes two people experience this phenomenon towards each other at the same time, usually when their eyes meet.

Love at first sight is real. Or can be. 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! There are no hard and fast rules in love. Sometimes love at first sight is true. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes you really love someone you've dated for 10 years. Sometimes you ddon't.
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!

It is pure BS. there is no such thing as love at first sight. It is always lust. When the lust is answered then u venture into the unkown territory of love and u know why cuz' now u know the person and u think that this is the perfect match ever and hence the feeling of love emerges!

Love at first sight has always been a topic of discussion, I guess it could happen but in my mind that would be fine so long as the "other" person feels the same way, then it would be LOVE LOVE LOVE for both and that would be the most amazing feeling

Love is much deeper than anything you have listed.
How about 'attraction' or 'deep desire' at first sight, not love.
I certainly believe that upon meeting someone you can feel as though they will be a big part of your life...this has happened to me. But love came later.

Lust a first sight. Surely, one can be attracted to someone by sight. However, I do not believe one is capable of falling in love with another through simple sight. One cannot learn anything about another simply through sight. One must learn about an individual in-order to fall in love with them. God bless****

You can fancy someone but it's silly to think that you're in love with someone when you have only seen them.
It usually takes people at least a few months. Even with 'the one'.
I am true cynic on this matter. Eventhough I have a lovely man that I love.

No dont believe in that, its got to be lust at first sight has'nt it! How can you tell by just looking at someone that you want to be with them for the rest of your life? Its best to become friends first get to know each other - then you'll know if your compatable or not!

No you cant love someone just by looking at them, you can feel attracted to them but love goes much deeper. Its not love at first sight its lust. You have to love them for there personality as well as looks and you cant tell there personality just by looking at them. You need to get to know them before falling in love with them!!

well, i don't believe in love at first sight,it's mere attraction at the first sight and later develops the feeling of love. people fall in love over phone, chats and so on.....
love was admiration of beauty in early kingly days but now with changing times its more of understanding,caring,trust and feeling of oneness and attraction arises amidst these all unlike in first sight love attraction serves as a weak foundation for love........
