Does Love at First Sight Exist?

  • NO

    It does not take good logic to comprehend lust comes first and love comes second. You FALL into lust, but you GROW into love. We have had this topic posted several times in the past.

  • Lust at first sight

    I do not believe in Love at first sight, but i know from experience that lust from first sight exist, and i've been on both sides of this, the one giving, and recieving the lust.

    I think it all depends on the way you look at it... Lust is a form of love. Love for features (mostly physical at first), love for personal qualities. Lust is probably the most enticing form of love for virgins or younger adults...Curiousity, inexperience.

    Then you can look at lust as the attraction, the curiousity that makes us want to get to know someone. Like 'Oh, look at that smokin' hot guy over there with the cute butt and that sexy, short blonde hair!' So you go over and talk to him and you find out you've got poetry or movie loving in common with them.

    It's all in the opinion on this one. Follow your gut.

  • Love at First Sight

    Love at first sight...

    Does it truly exist or is it merely a conceptual fascination that hopeless romantics contrive into theory to get us to believe the impossibility of instant love?

    Let us ponder...

    It is surely possible for anyone to look at someone that possesses the most desirable physical qualities, and to claim that they are in love. But how is it love - love: a feeling that stretches far beyond any physical capacity, engulfs every emotion of the senses, and leaves the heart in a mindless state of blind bliss - when the feeling doesn't brake past the outermost barrier of appearance?

    Is it fair to base love strictly off of first appearance? Or is there more to it than meets the eye...? A hidden attraction that lures beyond the outer shell, and seeps inside the soul, like X-ray vision; an almost magnetic connection that subconsciously binds two people together with a single glance... Is that crazy idea of an other-worldly connection the same kind of craziness on which the feeling of love is based? Could that be why people trust such an irrational concept as love at first sight?...Becuase they have faith in the irrationality of love itself?

    Hmm...

    But perhaps we are deluding ourselves. There's no doubt in attraction at first sight. But sometimes things aren't what they're made out to be. We can claim to have fallen in love at first sight, but once we discover that the love was not true, we absticate our belief that we ever loved at first sight in the first place, and that it is nothing more than a fool's fairy tale.

    When people do experience attraction at first sight and go along with it, it can, of course, have the ability to blossom into love. This is the most rational way to come about the idea. However, if two people met based on physical attraction and ended up falling in love, they will undoubtably recite the memory to their children saying that when they met, it was love at first sight. So there goes the rationality.

    But what is love? Isn't love the universal emotion that cannot be defined? Isn't its power beyond any real capability of explanation? An emotion so secretive yet so majestic, so illusive yet so real, so confusing yet so trustworthy - how can you express an emotion that is practically its own oxymoron? And if it is indescribable, how can you find a limit to it, to say that the impossibility of falling in love at first sight is not the same irrationality that one feels when one is truly in love?

  • I'll Assume

    Ok now I've never been one to believe in love at first sight. The thought of Romeo and Juliet made me think of two lusty teenagers who think they're in love. However what if love at first sight isn't at first sight? What if it's not that glance across the room that captures your heart but say the first conversation?

    The thought occured to me, that what if upon meeting someone, seeing them, speaking with them, you realized how perfect they were for you and fell instantly in love? The relationship still requires stability and work to make it a solid one, but what if this instant meeting and love are real?

    Who is anyone to judge? I feel love grew for me, but what if for some they know right away that they will marry that person.

    I actually know a couple (they've been dating for almost 2 years) and after the first week he said he knew he would marry this girl. He said he knew from the first time they spoke. They're engaged and making plans. Now isn't that almost as magical as that glance acrosst the room.

    I firmly believe in love at first sight, but maybe I don't trust my eyes as much as my ears.

  • Ah..... if not for love
    If one believes in love then one must believe in love at first sight. Does love come in a package or method unless we desire to control it. Ha...love will have it's way with all of you at it's will.

  • I see my child being born...
    do I not cherish her existence, wish to protect her, shield her, offer her everything in the world I can?

    do I not love her?

    ... then logically, can these feelings not be true for a counterpart? someone who from the first moment we lay eyes on, we KNOW that we love them

    so perhaps the fine line between love and lust is confusing, or perhaps the nay-sayers of true love simply have never experienced it?
