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

To me

I wanna say it is real. But then again its depends on the person. Now like Nights said the hormones, and also like in my school the type of rep that girl as. Rep as in the things she's done and a lot of people have talked about it, and even took part of it. Or on the other hand I've seen this almost work its just that someone I know messed up it up. Because he went to that next level doing some next sh** to the point where the girl ran home every bus ride home. Tch tough guy thought he had it all planned out. The thing is the way I told him would have actual got him the girl. Then he would stalk her brains out and gawk at her on the bus ride home and to school from what I was told. So it is very unlikely but it is possible for it to work, only if they don't do some next crazy stuff to impress that person just go with what you think is right, but won't scare them away.

 

Well, the saying is "love at first sight". Not "falling in love at first sight." Though I get your point.

@Thread; Personally, I don't believe in it. I've seen someone before and felt attraction, but to see someone for the first time and feel attraction =/= love.

My definition of love is pretty intense though.

Either way, love at first sight in a literal light is pretty much you see someone, and you're lovestruck. The whole cupid's arrow thing happens. It's fate, destiny. Your eyes meet and you know they're the one.

Bullshit, imo. ​

 

It depends on the person. There are some people who have fallen in love at 1st glance so I know it's not impossible. But for me, it's like a rare thing. I'm not gonna lie, I do believe in it, but... to me it's just something I mostly see in movies.

 

So you're saying you can fall in love with someone's personality . . . at first sight? First of all the level of deduction you would have to posses needs to be off the charts. Secondly . . . well no the first one got it. This thread is based on the whole "Love at first SIGHT" and being that it's first sight unless there is a clear and obvious open expression of there true personality, you won't fall in love with them because of it. Sorry but that was a kind of flawed statement.

 

Sure it is a bit out there but yes that is possible. The first time you see someone they could be expressing themselves and in turn you could love that. I think people tend to restrict the "love at first sight" saying to reflect their opinions on it. I'll tell you all this right now. If it "happened" to you then you would all support it where as people who have had bad experiences with "love" you would not support it. This isn't the case every single time but that is what it seems.

 

But then what is the difference between falling in love and love? Surely falling in love is the process and then love is the actual thing. I suppose I can see what you are saying, but is it really possible to have such great affections for someone that you can just fall for them immediately?

 

I doubt it that only happens in stories not reality.

 

Yes, falling in love is the process in which one would come to love another. Love is the end result of that process and sorry if this sounds too scientific for "Love" . . . but I couldn't think of how else to say it. If you are falling in love with someone then you are on your way to loving that person. If you fell in love with someone then you already love that person. Depending on which way you say it it can mean separate things ^_^

 

Falling in love with someone is more or less impulsive where as actually loving someone can be quite the opposite.

 

How is falling in love impulsive?? Falling in love is taking the time to learn about someone and if you can love them. It is actually the opposite of impulsive.

 

When was the last time you have seen someone take their time when it comes to "loving someone". Honestly it isn't very common unfortunately but that is where there is a difference. Falling in love is impulsive because most of the time you don't really think that much because you are focused on them too much but actually loving them is quite different and takes a lot of thought and effort.

 

True Love at first sight? In my opinion, no.
You can't really first meet someone and know that every detail about them is simply wonderful.
Love takes time - Love is something that blossoms, not springs up suddenly

 

Falling in love (to me) is considered to be the action of one becoming closer to another person, and in doing so closer to loving that person. So to me falling in love is not impulsive, however to Fall in Love is impulsive. If one were to meet another and fall in love that would be impulsive. Are you sure this isn't what you meant?

 

I can't really say for sure. Some people might think they 'feel a connection' between a person when they first meet them, or think they're someone different than they really are. The conenction thing is kind of strange. Yes I sometimes feel 'connections', but they're not like "omg I love this person" connections. It's hard to explain and I cbf to do so, because it'll just end up confusing people even more, sorry.

Also, I can't really say it's bull because my boyfriend and I got together almost three days after we met each other, and it has been working ever since (4 month anniversary was on the 27th of September). I'm undecided, but leaning towards 'yes'.

 

NO there is not, you can never love someone that you have never seen before, there is passion at first sight

Spoiler: difference between passion and love

passion is a egoistic,blind,exterior and temporary sentiment, as for love, you construct it over a life-time and if you truly love someone you know all about them, their personality, their problems, their wishes, etc...

you can´t just see any random cute guy/girl and say that you love them, you might have a crush on them, but not love, of course not.

 

In my opinion you said it yourself. You have to meet each other and talk and create a friendship before anything. Sure you could have a physical attraction but I don't believe that one day you will meet someone and you both will fall in love with each other by just eye sight...

 

I'd have to say no, i dont believe in love at first sight. Sure you may think that someone is drop dead gorgeous or you may be blinded by lust even. But, i think that you must get to know someone in order for you to actually fall in love with them. Create a friendship, get to know them, then you can say you're in love. But if you dont really know the person then its not really love.

 

Maybe like, you see someone, and you're like "Oh man he/she's beautiful!"

But nothing like actual love for each other. It takes time to develop a love bond between two people, and seeing someone and thinking about you're entire future with him is unrealistic.

Maybe it might work out, who knows, but don't count on it.
