Probably most people have fallen in love at first sight at some point in their life, or maybe will in the future. People do connect in certain ways. What that connection is and how it is transposed is a mystery. Some people believe that we can connect to people we knew from previous lives. Is that a possibility? The answers and questions are endless.
Companionship and love are two different things. Plus there are many forms of love. How do we even know that the love we feel for someone at first sight is the love that may fill us with happiness for as long as we live on this earth. Could it be the kind of love that is sparked from a nurturing emotion or a nourishing love that provides us with a sense of completion?
To answer “Love at first sight…” I’d say… “Go with your HEART”

I could give you a better answer if you gave more details, however here goes.
The most important aspect for a relationship is a loving one. This has nothing to do with what is usually called being in love. Being in love has more to do with a feeling of attachment. That is why the last wedding I was at, I helped put a lasso around the marrying couple. At least 50% of the people will eventually resent being tied down like this in this day and age. It is also likely why such a large number of couples in the usa don`t bother with marriage any more.
Yes I do believe in love at first sight and the love must be unconditional.
Not a great answer, but I hope it still helps. Enjoy !

Nope- its pure nonsense. The only thing attracting 2 people at first sight is something appealing to the eye, hence love at first sight, & not love at first spiritual connection, or something along more reasonable lines. What it should be called is LUST at first sight. Love takes way more time, minimum a year to establish an honest foundation and to really know what a person is like through thick and thin. I'm sure a lot of people who got married b/c of this absurd notion ended up divorced because love isnt everything and there is much more to a long-term successful relationship than a few minutes of cloud 9 fantasy.

Actually, yes, I do believe in love at first sight. It's something that makes you turn around and look at the guy one more time, finding that the guy is looking at you too. I've experienced it. But then again, there is the fact that you don't even know the guy, and you'd probably find out that you really have nothing in common, and end up going opposite ways. So love at first sight is true, but it never mentions the fact whether such love will last, or whether if it is true.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings

lust at first sight is easily lost. but occurs on a daily basis with many people. I fall in love every day by that measure, but fall out within minutes of non contact. my wife is aware of this and I am careful to show some control over my instincts, and it is a good thing I have a very understanding wife.
lust that grows into mutual trust and friendship becomes true love. That happens very rarely and is what love really is.
so all love is a result of the initial flash of interest at first sight.
if you didnt have that why would you bother spending the amount of time it takes to develop trust and friendship?
lust is the kindling that leads to love.
so it is both yes and no, love at first sight is not necessarily love- just your gonads wanting a quickie- but if you and the person you shared your time with fulfilling the mutual need can make it into a magical mutual love experience if you both care to work at it and really care for one another's happiness, then it leads to real love. If you both later on do not care to take the time to do the extra work to make a deeper relationship, then you have a love at first sight that didn't make it to true love.

I don't believe you dared put this question in Philosophy!!
And no, i don't believe in love at first sight. You see, love happens to be a lot more complicated and genuine emotion than mere attraction or lust, which happen at first sight. Love takes time, it takes understanding and committment. Love, sometimes, is an uphill work. It's giving, caring, sharing, all ungratifying emotions which is only for vain glorious people, like Christ for example. Funny thing is, unlike popular myth, love IS conditional. At first!! After a while tho, it pretty much just gives, without the expectation of a return.

If you can fall in love with appearance then sure, why not?
If you want substance, something to cuddle up to besides tissue and bones, something to talk with and enjoy besides the genitalia? No, there's no such thing as love at first sight.

I do. I've had a first hand experience of it. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world. It makes you feel that the one girl (or boy) is your whole life.
