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!

No.
Lust at first sight, attraction at first sight, sure...but not love. How can someone love, with their heart (in a romantic way) a person they know absolutely nothing about?
A lot of people will claim it happened to them, but what actually occured is there was a strong attraction at first sight and then love developed over time...but all they remember is digging that person from day 1, so they call it "love at first sight".
The idea one could fall in love with another, by just laying eyes on them, devalues the concept of love imnsho.

You can't love someone just by looking at them. You can be attracted to them at first sight which is more of a lust than love. The only love at first sight is for your new born baby. Love for someone has to come from getting to know the person they are. If you are just there because of the way they look then you don't love them the right way.

Love at first sight is a romantic idea, but not necessarily applicable. Mostly, it's lust at first glance. You can't generally fall in love with someone when you first cast eyes on them. Love takes time to develop. Generally when people say 'love at first sight,' they're referring to the physical appearance or just a trigger that sets of an emotional rush one would describe as love.

I believe in "lust" or "infatuation" at first sight...love comes a little later down the road. We all know that you find something you like physically first like a pretty face or a nice body and then you work on knowing the rest later.

I dont believe in love at first sight, I believe that its lust at first sight. How can you love someone without even knowing that person and by just looking for the first time. I guess Im to synical for that.

I fell in love with my boyfriend the moment I saw him but we didn't actually hook up until 3 yrs later. It was just this feeling I had that I had never experienced before. I didn't know what or how things would happen. Some things are just meant to be.

It happen to me once, I think. I originally had met him once before and then he moved away for work and then came back to U.S. So we set up to meet for a few drinks, when he got out of his car and I saw him for the 2nd time, my heart literally felt like it stopped and I said to myself "Oh my."
