Do you believe in love at first sight? why or why not?

I believe in lust at first sight!

"What's so remarkable about Love at first sight? It's when people have been looking at each other for years that it becomes remarkable.”

I believe in attraction and interest in first sight. Love comes after you get to know the person.

Yes, I do. But it is superficial. True love comes later after you feel a deeper connection.

what if the deeper connection happened before you met in person??

I have to admit, Marilyn this was the case for us. We felt a strong connection without ever having physically met (and, yes, we used the "L" word between each other.) So, yes, it is possible in reverse. When my eyes met Alla's for the first time it served to seal the deal as I could now see she was truly for real.

IMO I don't think you can truly 'fall in love' with someone 100% until you know them in person. I think you can be in love with the 'thought' of someone though.

As for love at first sight... I don't believe in that. Lust? Yes. It takes time to develop a relationship.

aye, myself as well. Finally meeting in person confirmed that what we shared was real.

I have been on the other side of the coin, in that I met someone online, thought this could be "it", and found out otherwise when we met in person.

Love is a choice, not something that just "happens". (IMHO of course!)

yeah, this is what happened for me too...

my heart loved him before we met but my brain had to meet him in person to see that it was real.... and when I saw him I just knew and fell head over heals in love with him, heart, mind and soul.......

EXACTLY-!!!

Well, for Sasha and I, it was as close to love at first sight as possible. We both knew we found our other half, pretty much immediately.

Yes, I am a victim of this..........

not really..possible lust at first sight is a better term..how can one fall in love with someone until they kn ow the person? their values/ their experiences/ their dreams and goals?

but for a lot of us who met online, we have discussed all those things before we met in person...

That's not really "love at first sight" then though. I mean, technically, it's the first time you've seen the person in the flesh, but since you already know the person, you've had a chance to get to know their character.

I personally think love at first sight is impossible (in the traditional sense...you see a person, know virtually nothing about them, yet fall in love) for the reasons that Dean stated above.

i voted yes......it all depends on bra size

Why two polls?

Need a Mod Merge........

yea sorry about that
how do you merge?

A Mod has to do it..............

This topic needs to be merged with the other one.

That other poll sucked. This one, on the other hand, is vastly superior.

yes! (as in yes, I totally agree with you...no to love at first sight.)

I'm going off this poll.

well usually it starts with a few beers........

too many beers and you might be in trouble...

I would pick an "I don't know" option if there was one.

Apparently my dad said it was love at first sight when he met my mom, meaning he thought "this is the woman you are going to marry" the moment they met. They've been happily married for almost 30 years now. So I guess it can happen!

Perception is reality....

I completely believe in love at first sight, however it takes a lot to keep the loving feelings going.

I believe in a definate connection at first sight, lust, love maybe all of the above. For me I fell and wanted to be with my now hubby when I met him 10 years ago, not the right timing for either of us and neither of us said it until about 7.5 years later when we reconnected.

Ditto.

(Replace "Him" with "Her")

I believe you can feel something for someone, but love is when you really get to know someone. I can't explain what I felt for my husband the first time I looked at him - maybe it was just an attraction and/or lust since he looked so good...
But I didn't realize I loved him until later...

Awww

Well, I'm in this camp also....BUT...

You have to have your newly-met eyes wide open. Someone can be one thing online and on the phone, and quite another in real life.

Yes i believe that!

Awww..that is so sweet!!

Oh, it's okay.....Mags already knew I was a chopf##k.

Platy, you have no idea how badly I needed that laugh.....
