Personally LoveSeeker, I do not believe it. However, I have witnessed couples, and marriages that began this way. Some for a decade now, others for nearly fifty years.

If I could gather their magical recipe into a bottle, I would, and sprinkle a bit of that on me. 😆

In fact, one man proposed to his wife, after only a week of knowing her. He of course asked for her hand from her father, before having done so. They have been together nearly fifty years now, and could not have been happier.

He was a man I often, asked how he knew. Especially when, he knew absolutely nothing about her. He told me, is it not a wonderful thing. I had an entire marriage to discover and find out who this beautiful woman is. I get to spend and share that life's journey with her. We had all the time in the world, to figure it out.

The romantic in me (despite being rather grounded in logic, and the rational, if not a cynic at times), always adored the stories he shared of their love and marriage. They truly adore one another, and nothing has faded over the years.

I don't think it's love... Love is action and appreciation . I think the thing you're talking about i like to call it, falling in love.. it's just as it sounds, you fall, you're in euphoria and you're swept of your feet, it's an amazing feeling, but it lacks grounding , while real love is grounded, it's more day day to day action to make each others love tank full while falling inlove is more like fantasy that you're experiencing because you're high . 🙂
I agree with you. I've been a cynical my whole life about "first sight" love or passion or anything. But I've witnessed and felt it as well. I think that one doesn't surpass the other. It's a bit like suddenly you see this castle at the end of a road. You aren't there yet, but you can see it and you know how to get there. And like Lady Scorpio said about that couple, you know you have your whole life to get there. Regardless of what you see in that road, you need to be brave and fearless to find love. Love doesn't show up at your door with the mail. You need to go out and look for it, often in the most dodgy roads.

Very much possible. Nothing to do with lust or euphoria. But falling in love n feeling the connection is possible! You know when someone says "You just know" kinda thing? It happens n is very real. You acting on it or no is a different thing of course.

Loving is different from falling in love ...for me at least. When you love a person, you know what it is you love about them n why you want them in your life. And when you fall in love, you wouldn't know what hit you. You may not even like the person you fall in love with(I mean he may not even be your "type" or what you like in general). So that happening in first sight, to me, is not much different.

But again...ppl have different definitions for all these labels anyway.

Lust at first sight
What if there is no sexual encounters but you keep loving this person for their character, actions toward you and others, outlook on life, personality...and whether they love you back or not - you keep loving them? And knowing that you aren’t meant to be together due to circumstanves you love them anyway?

Lust my ass!

Just curious,how many people here belives in that
It’s real and only those who had experienced it have a say.

Others can just give their opinion but what can they really offer except ‘I think it’s exist or I think it doesn’t...’

Same effect as is there life on other planets...

To continue on more stories about that couple.

Whenever they are in New York or London, knowing that his wife loved musicals. He would get a hold of as many shows as she could, for her to watch. Always the best seats, he could get. He would lovingly go to each show with her, even though more often than not he would fall asleep in them. I asked him - why ?

Her smile, because she looks the most beautiful when she is glowing and happy. That is worth more than all the shows I have to go to with her. There is no pain in being dragged along, when the smile is the greatest prize at the end of the day. Then he would smile, turn to me and say - Is she not beautiful, she looks just as beautiful to me as the day I met her!

Equally she adores him, and would go out of her way, without him knowing sometimes. Driving long distances, simply to get very specific ingredients, to make him food that he would not ask her to make (it takes too much effort) and something which he would gladly pay for them to dine out for.

Ah, simply reminiscing their stories warms my heart.

Mind you, with all their romanticism, they are still quite cheeky with one another, even after all these years the fire still burns. It is always lovely being in their presence.

I absolutly did not believe in it until 2 weeks ago ironically. Started training a new girl at work and an unbelievable feeling came over me immediatly. So strong I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Been working hard at it ever since. Not lust either because I've not once checked out her assets, only gazed in her eyes anytime we make contact. And I have not checked out one other female since. Tme will tell but I believe it has happened

Time is never right, neither for relationships nor goals and dreams you have, if you want it, you make it right. 🙂 You can make bold or calculated decisions for the things you really care about. There shouldn't be any excuse, if you really want something, you make it happen, doesn't matter it's relationship or dream/goal. Ofc in relationship it must be mutual, while in goal you're just going after it 😄

Kiss my ass! You need to live longer.

If you made it happen - what are you doing here, guru of love?

I'm only 23, i'm already doing seminars, i'm a personal coach, i'm spreading my knowledge , talking for crowds and they pay me for that, i offer them value and they return the favour. I spread positive vibes, i always learn more by traveling and attending seminars. I already have made bold decisions for the woman i were inlove with, even tho i failed i wouldn't chage it , because it was worth it, the experience made it worth a while.. 🙂 Only people who are ready to go far enough for the thing they want , these are the people who will eventually get there. Sure this might not be your belief, but it is mine. 🙂 Relationship doesn't stop the way you life, it does only then when you think it does. 🙂

I would and do.

Love, after all, is about balancing Eros and Agape.

You love a person for what they are.

The rest are just nice things to have.

yes and no

there are different types of love

and deep infatuation is one. Called eros by the greeks.

it's usually the type of love that initiates relationships but doesn't sustain them...which is why it was valued the least by the greeks.

philia , pragma , and agape are the types of love that sustain relationshsips

same difference.


You sound like you’ve been fucked up or had no love or just drunk...

And I had not seen you like that before!

What is wrong? Pm if you need to cry or yell or die! I’ll hold your ass...I mean hand!

I wish I were drunk.

I'm just a bit of a pragmatic cynic.lol

I've experienced what most people define as real love twice before but have only experienced the love at first sight once....

and it was different...in a good way

at least for me.
