Love At First Sight

What is love at first sight!
How can you "love" someone just by looking at them once?
Does it really exist?
and If it does happen, what are the odds of the person loving you back in the same way?
Unrequited Love, you might say!

idfk dude. i think love at first sight is real if you make it real.

Lust at first sight 😉 I personally don't believe in it, but I have friends in relationships who swear their relationships were kindred and "love at first sight" deals, so who really knows.

I believe it's real .. or, more accurately, the energy bond is real, and not really a visual thing. It's just that we see with our eyes, so we think it's using a physical sense .. but, really it's not.

Just like .. have you ever met somebody and you knew right away you liked this person a lot? You don't even know the person really .. but, you just got immediate vibes that you would be great friends with this person? Or, met someone who you knew right away .. you did NOT like this person .. they made you uncomfortable, and the vibes were not good?

Same thing .. only more intense if the vibe is love.

MMMmmm that sounds "Awesome" we never got that here in Australia 😢

Could you lay down your life without hesitation for this "love" at first sight? Give up everything without remorse, on the spot?

No such thing. "Love" is used far too loosely, feeling that connection, lust and desire and an immense like for the person, sure I see that but love takes just a little bit more than a glance to develop. People that think it exists are merely thinking retrospectively.

I believe its real and I would LOVE to experience LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT 🙂

~sigh~

ANYTHING is possible IF you believe 😉

Actually, whatever you do believe is what is true for you and this will be your experience......so, have fun with your thoughts! 🙂

*It's ALL good 😉

I've only experienced that once, and yeah it was love. We did almost get married, but in retrospect, we were far too young, so I'm glad we didn't.

Errrrr. I don't believe in love at first sight. It's just too wild a concept for me, especially once I experienced love. There's no way I could feel this way about someone just from some initial vibes. Could be infatuation, but never love. Could LEAD to love, but I don't believe it'll ever BE love at FIRST SIGHT. Love, for me, is much deeper and has much more to it than anything I could possibly encounter at first sight. Now when I first met my Cap, although I was a mere thirteen year old sitting in her desk at school, I was SO excited when the teacher sat him at my table. I couldn't wait to get to know him. It wasn't love at first sight, but once I got to know him there was no turning back and I've been in love ever since. So yeah, I got those initial vibes but they in no way compare to what I feel for him now after all these years. This is what I call love.

I spent my life previously googling, asking jeeves, yahooing and blahing all nooks, crannys, crevices of the worldwide net / changed ISPs to find the solution to all my troubles with the Aqua Male specimen...just as I was about to give up, I saw a light leading to a magical kingdom where there were live feeds, formulas, future dissection and predictions for my experiment - I believed, lurked, signed up ! For it was LOVE AT 1ST SITE !

IMPOSSIBLE IS EVERYTHING

"Fuck no,I wouldn't do that if I was in a relationship with them."

Lol, me thinks you have yet to experience real love, don't worry, it won't hurt much...at first.

AMW, not that you need to, but you'll never be able to convince or prove that you would have given your life for your husband moments after laying eyes on him for the very first time in your life. Even if you could it would only prove that you're a bit cuckoo.

well like my opinion is yes it happens......there is a friend who had this happen to them....His word were it was ""Love at First Sight""..they just knew and got married a week later from the first meeting eachother

well for me....yes! it did..(twice)....this one person walked thru the door and I felt like I got hit with a ton of bricks......that is how much of a feeling I got from this person..(feeling - meaning that this person was going to be someone special)....and couldn't take my eyes off of this person.....and this person was exiting the door....this person stopped and looked back at me and then left.....I was sooo confused lol....but damn it was love at first sight....we ended up working together....this person holds a special place in my heart for me and was in my life for 5 years.... we loved eachother but things couldn't never be worked out......but this showed me....that I was actually capable of loving someone 🙂

now again recently.....but I'll see how this works out......but yeah I do.....and no it's not lust at first sight.....cause that is not exactly the first thing that pops in my head when I meet someone I like lol

how about lov at first word one word sweetpea.

scorpseekspisces, I truly believe you haven't got the slightest idea what you're talking about. If you can love someone at all you are capable of falling in love with someone at first sight. Love is always a connection of the soul - and anything less is simply lust. Love at first sight is generally only going to happen to the open minded because they are capable of experiencing a connection with another person's soul without games and testing and indecision. If you open your heart and mind you can "sense" a person's soul - just like an aura. That's why some people are good judges of character and others are not - because some people can "feel" another person and others are not open to it, insisting that everyone "prove themselves". If you are closed off to love you will never experience it even after years - but if you are open to love you can recognize what makes a person special the very moment you meet them. I am an empath so I have this sort of experience with people often - not love at first sight - but sensing a person's personality without learning anything about them.

And I don't think you have a clue what real love is angelfish. What's that make us, equally in disagreement?

I know plenty about a connection and I am as open-minded as they come. But this is about pure logic to me, and the notion of love at first sight is merely diluting what real love is. Like I've already asked; can you lay down your life out of pure love and nothing else...5 seconds after you meet and see someone for the first time in your life? Sure tell me and the rest of the sane world that I don't know what I'm talking about all you want, but I'd like to see just one example of that happening outside of Hollywood.

Everything you said about sensing character has absolutely nothing to do with love at first sight, completely different subject. Again, I submit that you do not understand what real love is.

I know what real love is and you are NOT open minded....love is rarely if ever about poure logic - and what I said about sensing characters was an example that people who have not experienced love at first sight or love at all might be able to relate to.

I don't know that EVERYONE could lay down their life for someone they loved - whether it was love at first sight or not - and YOU don't know that they WOULDN'T. So step down off the soap box.

oh and by the way the way - I know a couple who both fell in love with each other AT FIRST SIGHT - they sat near each other on the BART and both felt it.

"So step down off the soap box."

If I do that you'll have it all to yourself.

I never said love was about logic, comprehending what you read requires logic though. Logic applies to the statement of 'love at first sight', now we have someone saying don't take it literally, so that means love not quite at first sight? Either it is at first sight or it isn't.

If you wouldn't give your life for your love...then you don't have a clue of what unconditional love is. I'm not religious but isn't there a perfect example of this in the tale of god giving his only son for man's sin? Too funny is your apparent version..."yeah honey, I love ya, but sorry about your luck, I can live just fine without you no hard feelings mate, give me best to the man upstairs ey"

Many people give their lives for their country voluntarily, because of a sense of duty and love of country, yet this supposed love at first sight is apparently not as strong as patriotic love? Your definition of love is far below mine.

Unlike you, I'm leaving you room on the soap box, rather open-minded and loving of me don't you think?

"oh and by the way the way - I know a couple who both fell in love with each other AT FIRST SIGHT - they sat near each other on the BART and both felt it."

And I know a couple of people that claim to have been abducted by aliens...and they felt the probe in their asses...must be true.

"Love at first sight, isn't meant to be taken literally"

^^^^^ I agree 🙂

I believe you can meet someone & feel a comfort with them or a connection if you will, I've met people who I knew instantly that I would be close to or know for a long time, I've met people who I've felt I was suppose to meet & I've met people who I felt I'd known before. I would not call any of that love, or not the kind of love that really matters anyway.

Unconditional love is the love that really matters to me & that takes time to develop. Through you may feel a certain loving feeling for someone at the onset of meeting them, I'd call that a surface level love (not deep & not something that I'd consider guaranteed to withstand) and with that initial surface level love, it will either grow into a deeper more meaningful unconditional love or it will dissipate. I think many, many people have believed they loved someone but later came to realize it wasn't really love but the illusion....the surface level love. In my opinion, that doesn't really count for much.

There is only one person that I've loved.....in every sense of the word, unconditionally & I loved her BEFORE I ever laid eyes on her...my daughter. The only person who has made my eyes well with tears out of sheer joy & pride. The ONE person I would without a seconds thought lay my life down for. You will never know REAL love until you look into the eyes of your child & see yourself looking back 🙂

I'm not on any soap box dear 🙂
And I didn't say I wouldn't give my life for someone I loved - I said I can't say for sure what someone else would do any more than you can.

And applying logic to the concept of love at first sight is applying logic to a concept of love - which can't be done. You cannot tell somone else that what they feel is NOT love - YOU don't know, only they do.
I don't find you to be open minded at all.

And as far as patriots versus lovers go...well you can't exactly ask someone if they've ever actually given their life for someone they loved at first sight - because they'd be DEAD. No more than you can say without absolute certainty that at least one of those soldiers that died didn't see a woman [maybe in Iraq?] fall in love the moment he saw her and a second later realized she was in the line of fire and jumped in front of a bullet to save her - you can't ask because he's DEAD.
You are very closed minded because you say that just because you can't prove something [including alien abduction] it isn't true - if you canoot PROVE that it ISN'T true then you have no bases for saying it isn't. You are close minded....sorry to have to be the one to inform you.

And I can't speak for mspisces and/or explain her piont of view for her - but to me saying loive at first sight isn't meant to be taken literally means that it's not literally the vision of the person that makes you fall in love - it's the connection you feel. But human being, unable to understand something they can't GRASP tangibly have to assign some tangible element...and so we call it love at first "sight"

My friend's grand-father himself told me that the first time he saw her grandmother he fell in love and knew she was the woman he wanted to marry; I have a client, whose wife is now passed, who tells me every single time I'm on the phone with him [I'm an insurance agent - so don't go making any rude assumptions] about the very first time he saw his wife and that he knew she was the woman he was going to marry - both also told the people who were with them at the time the exact same thing "I have to talk to that woman - I'm going to marry her"

I have heard many accounts of love at first sight that have nothing to do with lust [in fact the couple that I mentioned - the husband was a virgin when they met and wanted to wait for marriage, and she WOULD have been a virgin if not for having been kidnapped, held captive, and raped for seven months two years before -

cont: neither of them was thinking about sex] so yes, I believe in love in at first sight - I can't prove it, but I can't disprove it and many people have told me they've experienced it. And I am an open minded hopeful person.

I have to wonder what makes you so bitter that you refuse to believe in the possiblity.

Thankfully I can say I've never been put in the situation to have to give my life for someone - but I have been in a situation where the very first time I saw someone in person I loved him so much I would easily have done ANYTHING to protect him. Can I say it was love at first sight? Hard to say.... because I met him on-line [here] almost a full year before we met in person for the first time, and I had questions, not doubts, but questions about what would actually happen when we met - and the very moment I saw him in person for the first time there was not a single doubt or question in my mind that I loved him with all my heart - not because of what I saw [obviously I'd already seen pictures], but what I felt the moment I was first actually in the same physical space as him: Love, plain and simple - no other way to describe it. THAT is the kind of connection that I'm talking about when I talk about love at first sight being a connection, and you can't say that people don't honestly feel that - just because you haven't and can't wrap your mind around it doesn't mean no one else has.

You said it yourself; you can't prove it therefore any further discussion is purely subjective. It is not generally accepted practice that one must disprove a theory to make it null, on the contrary the burden of proof falls to the person proposing the theory. Otherwise I could propose that there is a god called Xenu and he dropped hydrogen bombs on his people stacked around volcanoes, and since you can't disprove it then it must be possible. See, doesn't really hold water does it?

Your lack of understanding a true definition of love is the same thing clouding your judgment in thinking that I am in anyway bitter. You are addressing this subject with emotion, I am merely observing it from an objective viewpoint.

Twenty six years old and you've got true love all figured out...*snickers*

don't believe in it

"don't believe in it"

Why are you so bitter and narrow-minded? 😉

lol I am way optimistic and never narrow minded =P

but I just can't seem to wrap my mind around love at first site, actually I have enough problems figuring what love is alone without the timing of it haha

my age has nothig to do with it - my mindset does. And your theory about xenu could well be true - I certainbly can't prove it isn't. People can't prove "God" exists, and yet millions believe in him. Millions of people believe in love at first sight.

You think you're so logical...where's the logic in saying that even though you can't prove something doesn't exist it still doesn't? People said the missing link didn't exist....until it was found........

Logic is BOTH proving and disproving something with facts.....choosing to ignore something that you have no proof of either its existence or lack there of is NOT logic, and it definately isn't open minded.

Lunamistress is as entitled to her opinion and anyone else, including you, however when you claim that believeing in something is illogical, naturally someone who believes in it will defend their belfiefs...I don't know how old YOU are....but you don't seem to have figured much out in how ever many years you've spent on this planet....

Yep, I'm entitled to my opinion and I made it without attacking yours, you however decided to voice your opinion directly at me. In light of this I feel I am justified in telling you that you are a twit of the highest order. What the fuck is an empath btw? You been watching Star Trek Next generation again?

Oh, and uh;

Truth: Note that you cannot prove any theory to be true. You might think up a thousand totally different tests to try to disprove the theory, and it might pass every one. Does that mean it is "true"? No, because the 1,001st test could prove it false. While scientific theories are never supposed to be considered to be absolute truth, some have passed so many tests that they are called "laws." For example, we will learn Kepler's laws, and Newton's laws. A scientific law is like a theory that has been inducted into the "Science Hall of Fame." But even then it might have to be modified. Einstein found some corrections even for Newton's laws, but they are normally far too tiny to even be able to measure.

You attacked the belief as a whole....should those of us who believe in love at first site form a group profile to address you? Or would you have felt better if I said that EVERYONE who doesn't believe in love at first sight is a "twit of the highest order"? YOU made the comments so I addressed YOU.

And you're not making YOUR point with your little lesson about scientific theory...you're making MINE; the fact that what you believe can change based on new information....therefore it is NOT logical for you to say that love at first sight doesn't exist - it is your opinion and you ARE entitled to it, but it is not about LOGIC.

Love at first site DOES NOT exist, it is a concept invented by some people with way too much free time, mainly song writers and poets..

haha...thx ashley
