Re: Love at first sight
Unrequited love has been the basis for many a tale. (Eponine in Les Miserable)
If we agree love exists , however we define it, it may begin in one of three ways:
1) You dislike the person upon first meeting them, and change your mind over time. ( "Pride and Prejudice")
2) You like them but are unsure until future time together ( most common)
3) You realize quickly how special they are and continue to love them.
(Love at first sight)
We may argue of the percentages of how people end up in love, but there will be people who guess correctly right away about their loves.Last edited by Scarlet Knight; 2014-08-17 at 02:40 PM.

Re: Love at first sight
I believe in lust at first sight.
Love... I think that takes a little longer.

Say that to the guy who went to hell after his beloved one who did not even knew he existed.

Re: Love at first sight
If you continue to observe them as they talk and do other things, that gives a better idea. I also wouldn't qualify that as love at first sight, as you are given much more facts than what you could possible be given for seeing that person for a few seconds when they're on a night out. You can assess some things by whether they look happy or unhappy in the context of the environment, and what they're wearing, but it's not enough.

Re: Love at first sight
You can't possibly be in love with someone you don't know.
So, definitely, no.
Lust at first sight, sure, infatuation at first sight, sure. Love-if-you-have-a-weird-(IMO)-personal-definition-of-love, maybe too.
I have a picky definition. For example, I spent two years in a relationship with my first ex without being able to tell her I loved her, because I wasn't sure I did (we were great matches on paper and generally enjoyed the time spent together). Turned out, I didn't.
I loved my third ex. Hope to feel that again someday.
I know it's something that can be developed. In my case at least. I think everyone might be slightly different there -- to each their own. One thing is sure though, if you're using the same definition as I do, love "at first sight" isn't possible.Offer good while supplies last. Two to a customer. Each item sold separately.

Re: Love at first sight
And here we have a winner. This. I have loved my boys since the very moment they came into the world.
I've also experienced the shocking jolt of so-called love at first sight. I never saw her again after that short time because it was at a gas station and I think the plates of the car she was in were from out of state. Just one of those chance meetings. I wouldn't call it love, and it wasn't lust. I most certainly know lust. And this wasn't it. I don't know rightly what it was, nor can I explain it, but it certainly ranks a word of its own. The associations of the whole word love are so vague anyway. "I love you." "I love pizza." Real specific word, right?
The only thing that the two types of experiences (seeing girl, seeing sons born) had in common was the absolute overwhelming shock (in a good way) of it all.
Anyhow, that's all I know about that... whatever it is.

Re: Love at first sight
I didn't feel love at first sight with my wife so much as an instinctual knowing that she was going to be mine forever. The love came later, much later, due to several very bad relationships that ended up with me being cheated on, twice with guys that I thought were supposed to be very good friends of mine. Once the love did come though, it was like a massive floodgate opened up all at once. I even remember the moment. We were in my bedroom laying down, just talking and making out, and I remember looking into her eyes, and something kinda "clicked" inside of my brain, and my heart suddenly started pounding real hard and I kinda lost my breath a bit.
