Love at first sight...Is there really such a thing?

It is of course possible to have a crush on someone when you first see them and find them to be psychically attractive and/or think that they're a nice person...But is it really possible to truly fall in love with someone the moment that you first see them? Two people have to talk and get to know each other. And it takes effort from both people to make a relationship work. So my belief is that this is fake.

What are your opinions on this KHV-Goers?

 

EGAD, a Jaden thread that doesn't scar me? What is this I don't even..

I'm in a agreement with you, there can be infatuation at first sight. Loving someone takes more time and goes much deeper than physical looks.
I know I love someone when I'll put their well being and happiness above my own, not because I have to, but because I want to. To love and be loved is what most of us hope for.

First encounters can lead to loving someone later on, but you're not going to start off that way. In time you and that person can grow strong bonds that will last.

 

If you fell madly in lvoe with someone at first site then what would be the point in the rest of the relationship? I think you can have strong feelings for someone when you first see them but to actually fall in love in another matter entirely. I think that to love someone is also to know them like you know yourself and to put their wellbeing before your own. Well, love is complex and amazing and it takes more than pure appearances to create true love.

So I personally think it's fictional, otherwise, to me it sort of degrades love.

 

Sure, why not?

Maybe the two people are destined for each other (corny, yes).


Or they have a psychic connection.

 

Honestly,as I am such a complete sap....I want to belive it is possible.
I mean,it would be so lovely~

But I am forced to think that its not possible.
I mean,I do belive that you can feel very attracted to someone the first time you see them,but love does have to grow over time....
And become something beautiful.
And that is my soppy moment of the day done <3

 

i don't know the hell love is so to me "Love at first sight"Is fake

 

I doubt it's possible to acctually fall in love with them at first sight , it's probably just a strong crush because one is attracted to the other from the others extremely attractive appearance , i mean , to truly fall in love with this person , wouldn't you have to talk to them and get to know them? and be comfortable around them? i don't..really know a lot about relationship matters psychologically , but i doubt it is actually possible for it to be "true love" only a strong crush at best.

 

I . . . *sigh* have to say "Love at first sight" is complete bull. All it is is hormones rushing through your body at the attractiveness of the counter-part. Honestly i'm not sure if I even believe in love anymore, just the ability to live with someone you can deal with *-_-* Anyway it doesn't really matter if it is real or not, the part that matters is what you do. If you just say "I love that girl/boy" and do nothing about it you don't have a chance with her/him (also borderline stalker) However if you "fall in love" instantly and say something like "I haven't seen a person so beautiful in my life" and you introduce yourself, get acquainted, go steady, then get married have kids and grow old together THAT is "Love at first sight"

That's just my opinion anyway, like I said . . . does it matter what anyone else thinks? If you think it's love at first sight it can be, you just have to put the effort into it.

 

My opinion is:
I think it is hard to two people fall in love at the first sight, but I believe it's possible. Yes, I think it's possible, that you can feel a bond with somebody who you just first met.

 

I pretty much have to agree with mostly everyone here. Its weird. No one can really say if they're "in love" or not, you just kinda "feel it." I don't know if love at first sight is real or not. Never had it happen to me. But I do know it takes more than a simple glance to know if you want to spend your life with that person.

 

The back story to this thread is rather saddening but regardless it is possible to fall in love with someone at first sight. There is no doubt about that at all. There is a huge difference between loving someone and falling in love with them and unfortunately those lines get crossed far to often. A lot of the time it is really hard to tell the difference but it is very possible. If this question came from what I think it did then don't worry dude. People come and people go. It isn't uncommon to be "in love" with someone and then it doesn't work out.

Not true. You can fall in love with someone's personality.

 

I've heard of it. But I've never actually seen it

 

To love someone else just for simply being would only be possible if that love was unconditional, and thus artificial.

 

Love at first sight is not possible, since infatuation with somebody's looks, no matter how strong, is not love. Love at first meeting however, is entirely possible, and is generally what people mean when they refer to love at first sight. In order to love somebody one has to know something of their personality, and getting to know somebody on first meeting is actually pretty easy.

 

My point exactly.

 

As everyone else has said, it can go either way.

Personally, I've never fallen in love with someone, but I do believe it's possible for love at first sight.

 

Which wouldn't be 'at first sight' though.

Love at first sight is not love, it's simply a strong attraction to the physical appearance of the other person, which isn't what love really is, unless you're shallow and that is all you want.

 

As I stated in my first post. It is falling IN LOVE. Not actually loving them.
Therefore it is possible for love at first sight. Falling in love with someone doesn't mean you actually love them.

 

Love at first sight in my opinion is nothing more than a simple eye attraction. The only true love is the love you feel when you truly love someone.
