Answer 2

Love at first sight? Lust at first sight? Natural selection on overdrive? Shock and awe factor? Desperation and loneliness? Pheromones? Liquor mortis? Beer goggles? I would like to give it the benefit of the doubt. There could be some truth to it in some cases. Stranger things have happened unexpectedly when it comes to visual and hormonal attraction. Some are just easily swayed by a pretty face or physique. Some may have their inner fertility time clocks running out. Nature can fart on your common senses sometimes. That can happen to the best of us. But, fate can perform those unexplainable little miracles to a lucky few. Where/who did the phrase come from? Why is this phrase coined so much if it had not happened to someone somewhere. There are many who will tell you it is true and they have been married for many years. A reward of cupid's arrow shot being keen and not hitting you in the blindside or backside. Others will say that it worked for a few moments then turned out to be "lost at second sight" with regrets. Most times, I believe, it is just the wow and awe factor and someone worked hard to achieve the heart's desire. True love must be grown from the heart, from trust, admiration and kindness. It has never happened to me, but even at my "silver age", I can still quiver and drop a jaw, so to speak, at the sight of a handsome man. It is only natural. Granny's mechanics still work! But looks are not everything. Like a persimmon, they can be enticing, pretty, smell good and feel good, yet when you take the first bite, you may get a bitter taste in your mouth and find the pits. Things sometimes are not always as they seem, but once and a while a sweet one will emerge pit free! Happy Valentine's day to all and happy hunting! <3.......Added note: Be sure your beer goggles are not on backwards, you may miss a winner! XD

Answer 3

For some reason people don't seem to fall in love at first sight with deformed individuals, so no, I do not believe in love at first sight.

Answer 4

I don't believe in love at first sight. I do believe in attraction and lust at first sight, but not love. Love is built on a foundation of friendship, and that takes time to build.

Answer 5

First it is key to analyze what love is, what that feeling, sensation, however you wish to describe it is to identify whether love at first sight is.



My understanding of love, or my guidance comes from Greek mythology, which dictates that the gods created beings with two faces, four arms and two sets of genitals. Because they were misbehaving, Zeus decided to split them in half. Love is essentially the search for this other half, and when you find it, it is indeed the most wonderful moment, you cannot be a second apart, and if given the option, you would agree to become one again.



That being said, just by seeing a person once you cannot fall in love, but instead just feel a strong physical attraction. Humans seek an attractive medium to reproduce, but it isn't all about physical appearances. Love is more complex than teenager feelings.

Answer 6

I do believe in love at first sight because, it has happened to me before.

Answer 7

Well, it depends on what you mean when you use the word 'love'.



On the Merriam-Webster site, love is defined as this:



a (1): strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties (2): attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3): affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests



It would be very hard to love someone at first sight if you are using the 1st & 3rd definitions. But it's easy to have it if you are using the 2nd definition--AAMOF, it would be much easier to have love at first sight as opposed to love at second or third sight if you use the second definition.



But if you're talking about the 'love' referred to in most Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston movies, that would have to happen over a long period of time.



The problem is we throw the word 'love' around so casually--I LOVE that lamp, I LOVE cheeseburgers--yet no one truly knows what love is. I know, I've asked many people what they think love means & all of them said 'it's something that can't be explained'.

Well, if it can't be explained by anyone then doesn't that mean that one shouldn't be using a word that they don't know what it means?



But I digress.

If we use all 3 definitions together, we could love someone we've never met or may even be dead. I admire & appreciate the work Sojourner Truth did for women & the African-American community, but she died a long time ago.

I am very attracted to Justin Beiber, so using the 2nd definition, one could say I 'love' him.

And I admire everyone. I think we all have unique personalities & gifts we bring to the table--i.e., 'the world'--& I admire that. So if using the 1st definition of the term 'love', I can honestly say 'I love EVERYONE!'

Answer 8

Love is not made at first sight but you can tell who they will be by a sight.

Answer 9

Well, I do and I could of swore I saw her at Dickinson one time & she was my double sent from heaven that I'll never see again.



Double = Similar not exact

Doppelganger = Exact with flaw



Jamie (5 Characters)

Blonde Hair

Blue Eyes

Mark on Left Cheek

About 5'5"



Me:



Bryce (5 Characters)

Blonde Hair

Blue Eyes

Mark on Left Cheek

5' 7 1/2"



Yea, not just a coincidence and I was to focused on getting the job then wooing her.



I spent yesterday trying to find her, she was working, but then spent an hour when the building closed as its a Shift Work place. (where you'd think your double would be) and to no avail.



So yes, i truly believe in it because I just can't stop thinking about her.....:(

Answer 10

There is such a thing as love at first sight, but it can't possibly be as strong as the love two people share after having been together for a long time. That deep, meaningful love that comes with being with eachother through everything and coming out strong. I love my partner so deeply, and I loved him when I saw him the first time. There was just the two sides of the spectrum, and everyday I am with him is another day I get to be with my best friend, and the one person I can call on for anything. There's no hatred, or anger just love. I feel blessed to feel what I feel every day I get to share with him, and can't wait to share every day from here on out. Love at first sight exists, but doesn't have as much meaning as deep love.

Answer 11

Yes definitely. At least for some people. This is all anecdotal tho.



Love, even just romantic love comes in a lot of different forms. You move from the passionate obsessive love to a calmer sense of familiarity (that is no less powerful.) Love at first sight is just an intense manifestation of the first. Having said that, it usually gets steadily stronger for a lil while, and peaks about two months into knowing (not dating) someone.



The idea that love is only something that grows with familiarity is far more an idealisation than love at first sight, because it implies there is a rational growth in intimacy. That would make sense, and for a lot of people that's what love is; but for others, love really doesn't, that's why it's such a rush. It is completely uncontrollable, at least on the part of the lover. We recognise features of a person, whether it's appearance or a gesture or a mindset as something we lack, usually with some basis in our own insecurities (to which everyone has).



Therefore love at first sight is often just an early recognition of those features. Often it is idealised, we put the person we love on a pedestal; and sometimes there can be a fall, but often if it's reciprocated, it can be a springboard to a more intimate relationship.



Indeed this is particularly true of the first time you fall for someone. First cut is the deepest, and the first person often becomes the standard of love, to which all others are at least unconsciously measured. When your first exposure to love is maintained, love is encapsulated in this one person in it's entirety (hence why such relationships, if they last often lead to long term commitment). If it fails, it often becomes the background of insecurities to which the next love is sparked (like a perpetual rebound haha)



Everyone who has had more than one love is broken, and we wouldn't be if love wasn't irrational. And there is a beauty in it. Just because such love is initially dependent on things we would consider as flaws in our character; doesn't mean the relationship or even an unreciprocated love is inherently flawed. It's the sense (perhaps illusion) of liberation from the mediocrity of life, that gives love it's rush. And that's nice.



So yep, I believe in it. :D

Answer 12

Well, at birth, there's love before first sight.

Answer 13

I believe in lust at first sight, but most likely not love at first sight, although it sure may seem like it at first. There might be a measure of protection if we're someplace where we share common interests. A look in the eyes helps & gives the impression that it's love. Seems intelligent? Yes. Cares about me? I'm snowed. By now, though, I know all the signs, & that's that I better watch out. Things take time to develop. For instance, there has to be time to ask that all important question, "Can you cook?" If he can, then I'm hooked. Then I'll know that it's true love.

Answer 14

Such a hard question. Well, I believe you can fall in love just by looking at somebody, but hardly ever on first sight. Consider the following.



You see a person in a place you frequently visit. You might be too shy to talk to a person, but you find them interesting for one reason or another.



The more you look at them the more thoughts race through your head. Fantasy is a beautifull thing.



Eventually you might fall in love with this person, causing a lot of awkward moments when you do have to interact with them.



On first sight, on the other hand, even if the person in question looks like someone out of your wildest dreams, you still don't know what they are like whatsoever.



I believe you will always observe the person his/her actions in one way or another, before you are able to fall in love with them. Even if it takes less than 2 minutes.

Answer 15

No, although I do believe in lust at first sight.

Love is too deep to be a split second thing. Love develops over time through communication, spending time together and building a connection. This is impossible to achieve without even communicating to someone.

Lust on the other hand is shallow and although very powerful, can exist without any real communication. It's also mistaken for love in some cases but there's a huge difference.

Answer 16

I don't pretend to know everything, so I'm not going to say love at first sight doesn't exist but I've never experienced it myself. I do believe in infatuation at first sight. There are some people you meet that just really make the right first impression, turn you on, say the right things, or the right circumstances are aligned. maybe the way someone smells and their body language, each person is at the right time of their lives that they're ready to meet their love, i guess all of the above can happen at once and two people will be extremely attracted to each other without really knowing why. i guess in a situation where two people become quickly infatuated upon first meeting, end up dating and loving each other then maybe i can see why they would believe in love at first sight but you'd really have to have some rose coloured shades to call it that.



happy valentines day!!



**amanda**

Answer 17

I don't think it is love, just like in first sight. When you get to know each other, and you fall in love.

Answer 18

I never did, until I met my soulmate and I just knew that something felt so different with him. That first night we met each other we saw a shooting star, and I wished we would be together forever. That is something I never would have wished with anyone else, it was so out of my nature. I knew after that one night that love at first sight was possible, if you let your heart be open to that opportunity.

Answer 19

I feel like lust at first sight is a more accurate measure. You can feel strongly about a person based on their looks, but I wouldn't describe the feeling as love. You need time to get to know the person on a deeper level. Even after months, most couples barely know each other on a level deeper than "the honeymoon phase" (the time when everything is perfect in a relationship because things are just starting out).



I guess it's not impossible, but I still feel it is improbable.

Answer 20

I do belive in love at first sight because sometimes when I take public transportation I look at that person who I have never seen or talked to before, and I have this incredible feeling inside like my stomach has so much positive energy and it's a warm loving feeling! Wow love at first sight hit me twice with two different people!

Answer 21

Love at first sight, I don't know.

Hate at firs sight, yes.

Answer 22

I believe in it yes. I have a friend, this friend told me about another friend whom got into a major car crash with his wife. At the time... His wife was a complete stranger. After the woman rushed him to the Emergency Room. The story goes that he more or less said that if she married him, he forgive him. I believe they had been married for something like 40 years since.



I don't however... Believe that it will always happen.

Answer 23

I actually do not. Love at first sight means you're falling in love with the outside, their looks. I think it's important to fall in love with what's on the inside. I'm not going to say looks are not important because I think it's very important to be attracted to your loved one. But you have to love them for who they are and you can't tell who someone is just by looking at them.

Answer 24

Of course I do! Before Kal I never had a boyfriend because I didn't really get any special feelings for anyone and they all became really good guy friends. Our meeting was by pure chance and it literally felt my heart wanted to fly to him. He looked amazing in the moonlight and when he jumped into the pool and came closer, he looked even more amazing especially when he smiled. I wanted to blurt out "I love you!!!" but I thought that would turn him off and also I am a really shy girl. It took me 6 years to finally say it but I had a really great girl friend to help me and I would probably still be single if it wasn't for her. Thank you!!!

Answer 25

Yes I believe in love at first sight. I've heard that love comes from what you see and admire that develops into love. This is why the first impression of how people look at you determines if they want to go out with you on a date or even on a second date. It's true that if you don't find someone attractive you won't want to pursue them, right. This is why I believe in love at first sight.

Answer 26

Yes. I just don't believe you know it until later on when you actually have a relationship with the person or if you let the chance slip by to have a relationship with that person. I know for fact it was love it first sight with me and my boyfriend. But I didn't know it until later on.



Happy almost Valentine's Day everyone. :)

Answer 27

That being said, just by seeing a person once you cannot fall in love, but instead just feel a strong physical attraction. Humans seek an attractive medium to reproduce, but it isn't all about physical appearances. Love is more complex than teenager feelings.

Answer 28

No.

Love at first sight is not actually "Love". It is just liking the other person's appearance mostly. Their brain is just tricking them to love the other person just because he/she looks good.

Real love comes from knowing each other for a while.. knowing good things about them and their flaws.

The "Liking appearance at first sight" can DEVELOP later to Love ONLY IF they know each other well enough.

Answer 29

Since you have read this u will be told good news 2night. If you don't post this on nine comments your worst week starts now this isn't fake. Apparently, if you copy and paste this on ten comments in the next ten minutes, you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out, if you brake this chain you will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. In the 53 minutes someone will say I love you or I'm sorry

Answer 30

Yes; there could be love at first sight, and maybe even as destiny has it, a true lasting love. On the other hand, love at first sight could be real, but not lasting as well. Either way, the brain must lead the heart on what to do!

Answer 31

I don't believe in love at first sight because for a person to truly love someone, it takes time. People mistake lust, physical attraction or chemistry for love. It's easy to think you're in love with someone when you like what you see and you keep thinking about them but that's only based on appearance or how they present themselves. To love someone, you have to actually get to know them and it's a feeling that develops over time, not something sudden.

Answer 32

I believe that love at first sight is very true. Some people know just what they want and know it when they see it. I saw this firsthand as one of my very good friends fell head over heels for this girl! They are still together (this was about four years ago) and are such a happy couple!

Answer 33

Yes. Funny thing; I learned this from Rick Dees before he played the 2002 Kylie Minogue classic "Love at First Sight." Men are actually likelier than women to fall for the other "at first sight." But sight is to be taken literally, as a male sizes up the female based on her appearance. Essentially, it's lust at first sight, as when a male hooks up w/ a female, he won't usually m8 4 life. But that's just me.

Answer 34

Technically, I believe in potential at first sight. Also, a person of certain traits and desires can see in the eyes of a similar person a 'reflection' of themselves.

Now, I have a broader definition of 'love' than most people do. And I would classify my two examples above as 'Love at First Sight.'

It's just not always possible to actually act upon such 'love-sightings.'

Answer 35

I do, but that first sight may need to come back a few times before it sticks...

just sayin'...

In this world full of a comedy of errors, you have to know that, a lot of times, we can be so very wrong, so therefore, it only makes sense that we need to take more than one look at the absolute truth !!!

Answer 36

Without a doubt I believe in love at first site,the complicated part is "Will that love last?" With love at first site you have no idea if that person is actually someone you would want to spend any time with at all.

What if you fall in love at first site with someone who absolutely hates the music you like to blast in the house? What if you hate the TV shows they watch and consider them the downfall of western civilization as we know it?

Sure love at first site is real,in fact it's the best kind,it's pure it's blind,it has no worries at all!

Answer 37

I believe in it cause i went through, i saw him, it was like I knew him. Very strange feeling. I found him prefect looking and had that feeling i knew him for ages or had known him in another life. Apparently he was feeling the same. I freaked out cause I had no confidence at that time and dumped him. Months later I ve tried to find him but it was impossible, I guess he left the city or who knows the country. But I still keep in mind that perhaps he wasnt feeling the same as me and just wanted to play with me (as we didnt know each other at all). Whatsoever, I ll never forget that man and wish him all the best.

Answer 38

I do believe in love at first sight, but if you never get with the girl it fades away. In early high school there was this girl I could not get over. I never talked to her, always thought she was too good for me even though she was just a normal girl, nothing special. The entire year I loved her even thought I didnt know her. Since I never talked to her, after summer break when I saw her I just didnt feel the same. I didnt even like her anymore; it was weird.



Love dies if it isnt fed.

Answer 39

I don't want to sound like an absolute dick but... you can fall in love with pretty much everyone its all to do with the way you act and the way they react, there is not just one person in the entire world who you will be your only possible partner although people may think that but in fact you could fall in love with anyone you meet anywhere in the world. Its just chemicals in your brain giving you that feeling

Answer 40

I believe in Love that grows rather than dims -- first impressions only reveal the circumstances of the lover and the beloved in that time-space interval



People can be "in love" after having an initial introduction that may not include a "spark"

Answer 41

I want to say yes because my wife and I fell in love the instant we saw each other. However, there are far too many additional factors to consider. I believe in "want" at first sight. If that want is sincere then love will be a natural followup.

Answer 42

Yes, because it happened to me. I met this Handsome , Young Man on a Blind Date. He was so polite, well mannered and treated me like I belonged to him. He was Full Norwegian and had a Great Build and his skin was smooth and ever so clean. His face was not skinny, but rather plump. I knew it was Love at first sight and after the first date, we had many dates and when he finally kissed me, then we both knew it was Forever. It was Love at First Sight for my Handsome Norwegian Viking and Me.

Answer 43

I believe in it.because I love my boyfriend at first sight,and we love each other very much now.

Answer 44

You can love someone at first sight, but actually falling in love takes time. To love someone at first sight, is for you to be completely head of heels for that person and only seeing their qualities without be conscious of their bad habits or faults. But to to fall in love every day, and stay in love, takes time and effort.



Love is not just the feeling you get but the appreciation and constant effort that you put every single day.

Answer 45

YES, i believe it can happen, and it did for my Grandparents, The following is actually a true story

Printed in the Long Beach, ca, news paper in october of 1988,



My grandparents, meet in the sixth grade, NEVER DATED ANY ONE ELSE!!, they were married for 59 years, and they DIED WITHIN HOURS OF EACH OTHER,( probally 10 hours) it was obvious my granddad died of a broken heart, when his beloved wife had taken ill at home and was rushed to the hospital where she died on arrival, it was clearly apparent my Grandad had no reason to live after that, and asked the good lord to also take him as well,



they were the only couple i know who NEVER ARGUED!, and, when ever either came into a room or passed each other in the hallway, they ALWAYS SAID I LOVE YOU TO EACH OTHER, , THEY WERE JUST LIKE NEWLYWEDS, EVEN 59 YEARS LATER They were one of the few couples I knew who did everything together!!!, they were truly inseparable

It is truly obvious they were ment to be together,



so yes i believe in love at first site!

Answer 46

Yes I believe in love at first sight. It happened to me on New years day 1988. The love of my

life. Unfortunately, he died in 1995. Haven't met anyone who comes close since. So yes it can

happen, you just have to be aware when it does. Doesn't happen to everyone, but for those it does,

the experience is unforgettable, at least in my case.

Answer 47

I believe in lust at first sight. I think love is a deeper feeling that can't be developed from one look at someone, before you can say you love someone you need to get to know them don't you? See what you have in common and how well you get along. I am not saying you can't look at someone and go 'OMG I love them!' But to be perfectly honest, just because I find someone attractive doesn't mean I can feel an emotion as strong as love. When it comes down to it, most people that think they have experienced love at first sight haven't, they thought someone was fit and said they loved them from that second. But if you love someone at first sight then you could fall in love with a person that's a random creep, or violent or to put it bluntly a complete d*** head. So NO I don't believe in love at first sight, because love is deep, and can't be formed quickly, its not simple.

Answer 48

Yes I do, and when it happens its not something you forget.

But as amazing as it is, it still needs other things for the long term, it can take your breath away, but sooner or later your brain kicks in again and if there isn't a good solid basis, it goes away and you're left with the usual practical matters.

Answer 49

Yes I believe & then start a new life that is trying to get her to be in love with me. We tried to know each other first then decided to get married.

As my faith don't allow me to do more than this I had put all my fate in God to decide if this girl is & will be good for me. That is in my prayer I had asked God to make me marry this girl if she is good for me although we are not of the same faith.

We have been married for 28 years now with 4 children.

It has come to me to realize that God has given me a very good wife.

Answer 50

Last February, I met the most beautiful woman on earth. She was so “exotically” magnificent that I could barely breathe. I knew from the fateful moment we met that she was destined to be my wife. I stammered as I asked her permission to tell her how exquisitely attractive she appeared. I was pleasantly emboldened when she said yes. I was blessed to learn she was single. In addition, she possessed a personality as dynamic and angelic as her outward loveliness. We have been together ever since that day. I can attest that one can fall in love at first sight.

Answer 51

Yes. It happened to me and my late wife. I met her in the grocery store, we passed in different directions. I looked her over and and wanted to again, so I watched, secretly, which way she was turning at the end of the aisle. I turned to meet her in the next aisle. Even though I had just finished there. Our eyes meet again, this time she smiled, I almost staggered. So I repeated the process. This time when we met she looked at me and said, "If we keep meeting like this, you may have to buy dinner for me."

I did. We were married one year later. We always went back to that store to shop. When she died 9 years later from Parkinson's complications, I was never able to go back.

Answer 52

No -- many people have a lustful response to some aspects of a person they regard but that kind of visceral or gland-based attraction is not what love develops into as far as a full regard and lifetime commitment

Answer 53

Of course not. Love at first sight is just a myth to me. -.-'



How could you possibly fall in love with someone upon seeing them the first time!? Your shallow if you do that -- because you fall in love with them because of their LOOKS. When you first see someone - you don't know WHAT their like, how they act, etc. If you think you found "the" person, what happens if they have a mental disorder? What then? You probably won't like them anymore -- that's what!



Why? I hate romance. ;)

I have no use for it!

Answer 54

I can't count how many times i've been crazy into a guy at first sight. Never led to anything. First sight's just looks isn't it? And there's a certain point where it's so much more than that. You need to know someone first, see if you link to them

Answer 55

This is a question that was asked in an episode of the Three Stooges and one of them answered, "After seeing you I believe in love at first fright." To answer your question, I believe that at first site you think someone is cute and beautiful, but you got to get to know the person good if you want real love.

Answer 56

I don't think someone can fall in love at first sight other than if its your childern. I think that there can be a spark with two people and then they get to know each other and the love will grow.

Answer 57

Yes.... Its true... Love at first sight is your true Love. We meet in the Library for the first time and there I saw her and got crazy for her. She was wearing Red color top and had came to discuss some topic with my classmate.He introduced me with her and we became friends. Today, I feel I am the luckiest person who is having such a perfect girl friend. Thanks to my that classmate. Thanks to her for being the part of my life.My love for her will never be less than I have when I first saw her.Love You.Hope to tie in the Knot of marriage soon.May God Always bless us together.

Answer 58

No I don't believe in love at first sight because usually when you love someone you like them because of their personality, their abilities etc. However if you've just met someone for the first time, you can't possibly be in love with them since you don't know very much about them except for how they look. I do, however, believe in lust/attraction at first sight. That's when you see someone attractive and it's almost like you're in love but you're really not.

Answer 59

I do not. Love is only felt after a deep understanding towards a person, or compassion after you've known the person for some time.

Like at first sight, yes, there is.

Answer 60

Oh hell no, attraction and lust yes, but SIGHT just doesn't do "love" and anyone who thinks otherwise is either too young, shallow thinker, or a movie maker kind of a person.



But of course there are people who just LOVE EVERYONE based on not much at all like those who say they love kids.



Lust and attraction are important though.

Answer 61

As one wise man said, "Love at first sight can be cured by a second look." i believe that love at first sight in infatuation at its finest. There is no way anyone can just "love" anyone merely by the exterior of the person. Love is not an impulse or an emotional roller coaster that ends when someone makes you mad. Love is not moved or actuated by just feelings, it is a selfless principle in which does not seek to please itself.

Answer 62

no, this is physical attraction and not love at first sight

to love someone you need to know him/her better

Answer 63

As a man I certainly believe in interest or even lust at first sight, but not love. Love simply takes time, usually months, to really take hold.



I was interested in my wife at first sight, and certainly enjoyed her company each and every time we were together, but that's not love. Love is when you get to know a person's foibles, and like them even if such foibles would get under your skin from someone else.

Answer 64

Nope, even though I am in a 5 year relationship that was technically "Love at first sight". What the hell am I saying? Of course i BELIEVE!

Answer 65

No, but maybe I'm wrong, thing is i still havnt experienced that Ding* someone hears when you look at the person. I would love to be proved wrong, because their is nothing better than having love in your life. It makes all the fights, the tears worth it.



But I feel that for a person to love someone they have to get to know who they are, as much as in the inside as out.

Answer 66

No.



I believe in "infatuation" at first sight, but not love. Love takes time to truly achieve. It means that you love them even for his or her flaws, you are patient with each other even when times get tough, you realize that there is more to a relationship than looks or youth, and you always put yourself first. Love is exciting, romantic, friendship-oriented, contentment, mundane, and it's a wonderful thing.



Sometimes even seasoned relationships can't push through until the end. How can you achieve the exciting AND mundane aspects of love from just looking at an outward appearance?

Answer 67

Love is mature form of emotion. First sight infatuation or soft feeling may be first step to love but not love itself as love need time to be matured. Sometime it may take decade or even more to realize feeling as true love.

Answer 68

I completely believe in love at 1st site - I fell in love with my now husband from across the classroom at 11 years old and I've been in love ever since!

Answer 69

Yes I believe love at first sight. Love comes from heart. Most of the cases when people fall in love it is very difficult to happen that both of them fall in love of each other.

Answer 70

I believe that if there is such a thing as love at first sight, it is only 'temporary' love. In order to have a lasting love, there needs to be a sense of familiarity & comfort one gets from being around someone you're used to & have grown fond of being around & with.



: )

.

Answer 71

No. I don't believe it is possible to actually love someone upon seeing them for the very first time. However, I do believe that incredibly strong connections can be made at first sight, which can quickly lead to love.

Answer 72

Yes you can, but it won`t last long if the person you`ve seen for the first time is not compatible with you. And you can check that after few months/years.

Answer 73

No -- anyone who testifies to such belongs back in the Middle Ages when people found "romantic love" to be at a distance and between parties who worshipped the other from a distance

Answer 74

No. I believe you can't love someone until you at least get to know them a bit. You can't just look at a stranger and decide I am going to marry that person and have a happy life. Love at first site is probably just a fantasy.

Answer 75

I do not believe in love at first sight. It then becomes just a matter of looks and how one carries of oneself. Love is something that happens when you know someone to be respectful and trustworthy, and when it will happen, everything just falls into place. It is not about love at first sight, but about love that enhances all your senses and when your sight is just for your love only...

Answer 76

No, I believe in physical attraction at first sight. We are attracted to what stimulates us and a person's physical appearance is what we first see. Love happens over a period of time. Getting to know someones heart and mind.

Answer 77

Well yeah, no. Because the characters are different, one may be lucky to be in love with at first sight, while someone else does it.

I hope you are happy with the kind of characters.

Answer 78

Yes I do. Because the second my daughters were born it was the most intense love at first sight Ever!

Answer 79

No, because you can't really know someone until you talk to them. The only time I "fall in love at first sight" is when I find a new K-pop group.

Answer 80

Actually, yes I do, even though it hasn't happened to me. I know a few people that have fell in love at first sight- and one of my friends is engaged and soon to be married.

Answer 81

I believe that when you meet someone you're meant to be with, you get an overwhelming feeling of love. This is what people consider 'love at first sight'. Although, to actually consider it 'love at first sight', you have to love them. I definitely had love at first sight. I didn't really know him, but I wanted to. I saw something in him, in us being together, that made me want to work to see who he was and learn who we could be together. This is what I consider 'love at first sight'.

Answer 82

Love is not an emotion at first sight. The definition of at first sight is that you look at someone and love them. This is actually attraction. Love is an emotion that occurs once you get to know someone.

Answer 83

Yes. It happened to me and to my husband. As I answered in an earlier question, we met through a match maker and had a blind date. When he appeared on my doorstep, I asked him,"Is it you?" He still remembers that and believes that I was fortelling the future by asking that. We were together that evening until 4am and knew we were a match!

Answer 84

If you're shallow and looks are all that matter, than yes. Otherwise, get to know the person. Love isn't instant.

Answer 85

i do think you can love someone at first sight however only half of the entire concept of love, i believe that love is anywhere from 5%-50% physical attraction and the rest is personality.

Answer 86

I believe in being attracted at first sight, as in there is something physically or chemically that sparks your interests in a person.



With me and my wife, I was attracted to her at first sight. She said there was something about me that made her interested in getting to know me, as well.



Was it love? I will be cynical and say no, but it sure led to love that is going strong after 12 years.

Answer 87

i don't believe in love at first sight. you may have a crush on someone at first sight (based on what you're noticing or seeing in them) but love can only happen once you get to know them and develop feelings and start liking them. people who say that they liked someone when they saw them for the first time, they're actually talking about 'crush' specifically because on first sight, you can only make a judgment about someone which is based on what you're seeing and their physical features and actions. but love is actually when you get to know someone and you fall for their personality. A crush may lead to love though :3

Answer 88

If you can figure out their personality and all about them only form this -first sight's- expression.

Facial and physical features tell a lot but does it tell what makes one love another ? Not in my opinion.

Answer 89

Yes I believe in first sight, Because I already did before.

Answer 90

No, I believe in physical attraction at first sight. When you first see someone, you could fall in love with their outer look, but you don't know anything about their inner self. In order to truly fall in love, you must understand and appreciate someone as a WHOLE.

Answer 91

I don't believe in 'love at first sight' because you don't know the person well enough to love them. I do however believe in 'lust at first sight'



And people all too often get them confused

Answer 92

Yes!

Because:

I am a hopeless romantic

I am also quite logical ;) - If you fall in love with someone, chances are you liked them the first time you laid eyes on them.

Answer 93

I believe in attraction at first sight but i think true love takes time. Its like in a relationship you would take a bullet for them but if its just a random stranger then i don't believe you can truly feel this way. I don't know thought just my thoughts.

Answer 94

I do believe in love at first sight! It just happened to me. But you can't really love them for them, like their personality. You can love their looks, their style, and other things that appear attractive to you, but that's pretty much it. Love at first sight is more like being really attracted to someone. But I know how you feel, like when you see them or just thinking about them, even if you have no clue who they are.

But you have to get to know them if you think it's "love at first sight" so that it can eventually turn into a relationship.

Answer 95

No. I don't believe. I believe in interactions and meetings after that decide what to do.

Answer 96

Yes. I believe in love at first sight. I think it is rare and I think that it is very special and if you are lucky enough to find any love... well, does it matter then if it was at first sight?

Answer 97

No, I do not.



I am deeply in love, don't get me wrong. But I did not fall in love with him upon first sight of him.



I believe we must get to know the person first. Our brains bring us to "fall in love" with someone based on their compatibly as a mate. If our brains detect a good mate, we may fall in love. If we have nothing to base off of though, then how could we fall in love?

Answer 98

I think that it is possible to love someone at first sight. However, I also think that someone could believe that they love someone else at first sight, and then find out that they were wrong after they get to know that someone else.

Answer 99

I do not believe in love at first sight. I believe that when you see someone for the first time, you can be instantly attracted to them. But I don't know that it's possible to actually love someone until you get to know them.

Answer 100

i believe in luck...

i'll explain : i believe that you can be attracted to a person very much at first sight, when you meet him/her. you make your ideal of that person immediately, in your head, the passion is high and it seems that you like almost everything about him/her at the first sight.

but...but....after that it depends on how lucky you are and if this person will really match your expectations... your ideal...some people are luckier some are less

for example i had the situation when i really fell for a guy at the first sight but, he appeared to be a total jerk and dumb when i really got to know to him

but i've friends who find their love at first sight

Answer 101

Hello,



I believe, in my case I always went to the library at recess to find my love. Today we are together almost 1 year.

I am very happy on your side!

Answer 102

Yes and no.



Yes because my aunt fell in love at first sight. She met my uncle at a party. When they first met, they were making eye contact with each other, and then it came to hanging out, then falling in love, then making out. They only dated for one or two months before they got married.



And no because my friends and I were at the mall one time and this guy was making eye contact with one of them, but that just pissed her off.



So to me it depends.

Answer 103

Yes, i do. I am loving my Mom since i saw her. I believe some fall in love easily at first look while some just take time. Well, if you are loving someone since you saw them you should probably go and try to communicate with them because what seems to be is not what it actually is. Rest life is yours. :)

Answer 104

yes i do, because it happen to me and her at the same time and we have been together for more than 2 years. we live together and we are only about to turn 19 an 20

Answer 105

I believed in it more strongly right until the time I became divorced.....once it all fell apart I decided the next time I do something that crazy I would skip getting married and ask the woman if she would like me to give her half of everything I own........

Answer 106

I believe you can be attracted to someone at first sight, but you cannot be in love with them. You just can't make that judgement after simply glimpsing at the person.

Answer 107

I don't believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in physical attraction at first sight. I really don't think someone can actually "love" someone else just by looking that them but it is possible that one would be attracted to another just by glancing at them. This attraction can later lead to love but never love all by just a glance.

Answer 108

YES. I know a couple who got married only 2-3 weeks after meeting each other, and they've been married for DECADES.

Answer 109

I believe that love at first sight isn't truly love.

Infatuation, lust or a crush - certainly.

But I don't believe anyone could love someone by just seeing them. To me, it seems too superficial and while I do give the physical appearance some importance [attraction is as important as love, or almost], it is definitely best to know the person first.

For all you know, you could fall in love with someone at first sight and that person is a terrible, vindictive, abusive man or woman.

Answer 110

Yes, as long as you don't immediately want to get married. If you see someone, notice their absolutely cute, walk up and say hi, hopefully that one word with 2 letters with start something else-A.K.A-dating and marriage, hopefully not rushed dating and marriage.

Answer 111

I believe in physical or chemical attraction at first sight. Love comes from knowing a person's strengths, weaknesses, and character flaws, and accepting them unconditionally. God may give you that initial impression of love at first sight, because He wants you to get to know that person, but love comes from knowing and loving that person in all circumstances. Love is unconditional. Love is accepting that person as they are, not as who you want them to be. Love encompasses all that we hold dear. And love never fails. So if love happens at first sight, it is because it is ordained, by the One who love us most.

Answer 112

No, sight is lust. Love is actually knowing someone.

Answer 113

No i don't.

I believe on liking a person, on having interest on that person...or crush but that is it.





I think Love is a deep word that comes along the way.

Like me I was with my husband for 2 years until i started feeling love towards him... I mean i did like it him but that did not i love him...

Answer 114

I dont think so. Of course, I am not sure, but in my opinion, love demands much more that the appearance. You can like someone at first sight but not love... For loving someone, there are much more features I look for.

Answer 115

No.

I believe that you can be infatuated with someone at first sight, but love takes time to come in.

Answer 116

May be I will say NO, because we will be attracted to them when we saw them first time. when we start knowing them personally,might turn in to LOVE. So I don't believe in Love at first sight

Answer 117

Yes because you can see someone and be attracted and it pulls you into them. And you eventually want to get to know them and you do so then you fall in love :) And if you remember the first time you laid eyes on someone that's because that was your love at first sight moment.lol well I think at least.

Answer 118

No I do not, it would take me some time to get to know the person before I could love them.

Answer 119

I believe in "infatuation at first sight."



If it's True Love, then the two people get over the first hurdle...

Together.

Answer 120

No. You have got to get to know a person better. Happy Valentines Day Yamster!

Answer 121

Yes. Love at first site is a very real, and deep connection between souls, in which you feel an attraction which has been present in other lifetimes and continues into this one.



Or if you're not spiritual, I guess you could just chalk it up to one specific region of the medial prefrontal cortex...

Answer 122

i dont beleive love at first sight because its mostly physical attraction. but i do beleive that the attraction can be so intense where you want to give it your best shot and having put the most effort you find love. so you think back "wow when did i know this person was going to be the one? well it was love at first sight"

Answer 123

No, you cannot see or foretell love, but you can understand it by how your relationship leans on trust + respect + loyalty = LOVE. You cannot ever see love because it is blind, it only comes from your pure mind and soul. A first glance towards someone is only a desire.

Answer 124

No, I don't. That's basing love off of what's just on the outside, which is essentially lust. You can definitely have lust even at first glance, but love is deeper, more intricate and personal. Stuff you can't see from the outside.

Answer 125

No, someone might seem popular and good-looking, but that doesn't mean they're exactly "nice". Someone might be very sweet and be the perfect person. You have to get to know people to actually "fall-in-love". You can't just look at someone and say,"Hi! Wanna go out with me?".

Answer 126

I believe that if the two people are meant to be, like destined soul mates, then yes it's a possibility they can fall in love at first sight.

Answer 127

I am not participating in any contest but just answering.



I think there can be an instant attraction to someone. It could be looks or even just a certain way about them and it could be just as strong coming back from the other person to you. As far as if this "love" will endure and pass the test of time depends on the couple. If they are determined to be "unselfish" then it should work.



Godly love teaches us all about this. Read about it at 1 Cor. 13:4-8 This love will never fail, nor will it ever end.

Answer 128

I believe that love at first sight, because you learn how responsible you can be. And you see how its like. I felt like my heart will pump out.

Answer 129

Nope i don't

But i think it is crush at first sight then as you get to know the person your feelings are slowly being develop into love.

Answer 130

Only if you are a photographer and only love "photogenic" faces, for other people it is more important to know a person first than get the love feelings.

Answer 131

No! It is highly illogical and unprofessional to automatically fall in love with someone just by looking at them. You must take the time to get to know them before you can truly decide to love them.

Answer 132

i believe in it..

when i was in third grade i guess you could say i fell in love at first sight(but obviously in no romantic or sexual way)..im a girl and she's a girl..

i mean seriously i took one look at her and she was the most beautiful thing ive ever seen(beauty to a 3d grader is deep btw lol,it was more of a feeling of beauty,and she ws pretty because i loved her..which i did right away)..at first she hated me and i annoyed her,dont exactly rem. why.... but somehow in the end we became best friends...the best of friends i honestly don't know how much i can exajurate this..we loved each other so much..

i cared about her more than any other person in any other point in time,till this day.

my family and i moved to another country so we lost contact after 4th grade...but i'll never forget her and am pretty sure she won't forget me either.

i have a stuffed animal she gave me and good luck charm bracelets..and other things from her which are the most sentimentally valuable things i own..i was 9 then and now im 15. I'm pretty sure i'll never see her again...but it was a good time,i'll always treasure...and i promised myself that even if the time goes by and i stop feeling it due to memory ...i'll always "know"..



i don't know what happens in that first sight...can your subconcious really decide from that fleeting second your utter compatibility with another person...like when you just meet someone and feel like your gonna be good friends in the future..

people say that they dont believe in it sense you can't judge a person without knowing them..and that alot of people that claim love at first sight are refering to a crush(unhealthy obsesive infactuation that most times doesn't end well anyway)...and thats true that you cant really know/judge a person without knowing them but sometimes you can just love them(not like a crush) like truely deeply in your core and soul love them without rationality and it could be the first step to something unforgettable..and possibly the truest thing in your life.



so yeah i believe in falling in love at first sight...it doesn't happen to everyone or everytime you meet someone your gonna care about but it's real..i dont know what causes it or why it happens but from my experience i do believe in it.



i think it's phenomena of the universe like dejavu or law of attraction or the "gut feeling"not totally understood or has a rational explanation but it very much does happen.

Answer 133

Yes, I do believei n love at first sight, as I have experienced it myself a few times.

Answer 134

I believe you can become interested in someone on first sight, but not fall in love with the person.

Answer 135

No. The first thing you immediately notice about someone is their race and their body. It takes time to feel mature love. I believe you can have lust at first sight.

Answer 136

No, you can't truly fall in love with someone without getting to know them first.

"Love at first sight" is really just falling in love with someones looks, not the whole of them.

Answer 137

I believe in infatuation at first sight but not love. Think about it, what if the minute you talk to the person they annoy the heck out of you? Are you all of a sudden out of love with them? That's not what love is. It cannot be picked up and dropped off as easily as that.

Answer 138

I do not believe in love at first sight. No one can fall immediately in love. That emotion is too deep. You have to get to know a person before claiming that you love them. Sexual attraction can happen at first sight, this we all know. But love? No. That emotion involves more than just seeing and meeting a person for the first time.

Answer 139

Absolutely yes because in spite of my poor track record with relationships I still believe there is a magic spark that can be appreciated from the very first meeting.

Answer 140

No because you no nothing about that person . so how could you

Answer 141

i believe that you cant love someone at first sight. you have to get to know the person before making a full judgement

Answer 142

Frankly, i do not believe in love at first sight. How can you love someone by just the outer apoearance. You need to know somebody well to be truly in love.

Answer 143

Yes, I do. We all have specific partners from the beginning of time so once we saw them at first sight we already feel it. Just like my love, the first time I saw her I easily told myself she's the one.

Answer 144

Yes because I have personally experienced it. I saw my current girlfriend and instantly fell in love.

We have been going out for 3 years now.

Answer 145

Yes, because I've experienced it, however .. it never worked out . .. the women that I fell in love with at first sight never loved me and it was a disaster that only led to suffering ( on my behalf ).



However I finally realized who the right woman for me was ( the first one I went out with actually ) and now we are happily together again

Answer 146

Yes,

so let me tell you story that has been kept in my memories.

i met him at class when i was 8 and somehow i had a zing. but alas he was the cause of my misery.

but then again why couldn't i just let him off?

perhaps it was..love? perhaps because i'm a stupid little lady.

only god knows.

Answer 147

Yes, I fell in love with my man the minute I saw him. (9 years later I still feel that way.

Answer 148

I believe you can be instantly attracted to someone, but you cant love someone until you know them on a personal trusting level

Answer 149

Absolutely. not, that's like asking me if i believe in the tooth fairy. I was told about it and fed the crap when I was a kid by disney. But then you get older and find life just doesn't work that way.

Answer 150

I believe in LUST at first sight, not love. However, some people can determine that they love someone after a very short time......

Answer 151

to me love is having one kiddo and marriage my mom has 6 kids 3 are hers and 2 my dads and my mom has the oldest being 18 im 15 and today is my birth day!

Answer 152

Yes i do believe in love at first sight. It is because when your heart flutters ,stomach feel like they have butterflies in it,rush of blood,and feeling hot at the same time is the feeling of having a big crush on that person.That is what I feel when I believe there is such thing as love at first sight. I fell for the person at first sight.

Answer 153

Yes i do! but it doesn't mean it will last though... when you get to know someone and like to spend time with that person that turns in love :)

Answer 154

I think love is a natural attraction for anyone. When it open in one he is very good person.

Answer 155

Im not going to trust any of you freaks until I get out of this game matrix. I didnt see these questions until the hour of the closing and they have my clock on california time and I freaked out because theyve possessed my REAL Queen with ALL their senses and I have been trying to rescue her. theyve poisoned my hallucination unto death.

Answer 156

No. I think you can be attracted to them "lust" when you first see them but you cannot develop love for someone by looking at them. Love takes time, memories, and two people to build.

Answer 157

I don't believe in love at first sight because love isn't based on looks alone. However I do believe in love at first meeting.

Answer 158

No, personally it has never happened to me.. I think you can like someone at first site, or feel like you want to get to know them, but it takes many months and lots of experiences together to love someone.

Answer 159

No **** love at first sight. Love for a chick is *** you won't get the *** that day. Their is no such thing as true love. **** valentines day. If you are in love just because of this ady then you are a pussy ans you should go and get laid.**** cupid, he is a ***** and i want to ripe his wings off and burn him in the volcano, he is apussy too. You will never have one girl/one guy in the world all your life. **** love at first sight.

Answer 160

Of course love at first sight happen, in my view everybody fall in love with someone. Its depend on his/her luck he/she tell the guy/girl or not.

Answer 161

My bf saw a picture of me, and had to meet me... And now we've been dating for almost four years. He didn't even know me or my friends before hand. Except a cousin, whom he saw a picture of me with

Answer 162

I saw this guy handsome as can be that was 30 years ago.

And we were so in love then. He has been overseas this year.

And loving him is the best part of my life.

Answer 163

I believe it exists; that you can be that Ariel or Giselle or Aurora kind of look and connect emotionality, but not me. I'm too cynical for that to occur.

Answer 164

yes and no. yes because you can fall in love at first sight at your perfect soulmate/match, and you would know right then that he/she is for you. but at the same time no because you can just be attracted to something they have or their look.

Answer 165

Yes, i honestly do believe in love at first sight. I don't really think it is something you can explain, you just know.

Answer 166

As much as I would like to, I can't. Though looks play a role in whether or not you like someone you need to know them personally and know their flaws before you can decide if you love them.

Answer 167

I do not, because i met my now-fiance before and i did not fall in love with him right then. It was not until i actually spend some time with him that the sparks started flying!

Answer 168

Love No! Lust maybe. Nobody wants to take home a package of handsome pretty poison,like Freddie Kruger or Jeffrey Dahmer. :-)

Answer 169

i believe that you cant love someone at first sight. you have to get to know the person before making a full judgemen

Answer 170

I don't believe in love at first sight, because that means that you only love their looks, not there personality. Personality is the charm, not looks.

Answer 171

Absolutely. Romeo and Juliet, everybody. That was love at first sight, and there was no love greater than the one they shared.

Answer 172

No...I believe in intrigue at first sight, I don't fall in love untill I know more abojut him than a passing glance.

Answer 173

I believe that you can be instantly attracted to someone at first sight but it's not love. Love comes later and if you saw someone and thought it was love it was just a mutual physical attraction which, unfortunately, dies out quickly.

Answer 174

Not really, it takes time to grow feelings, the love at first sight a person feels is their inner feelings just bursting out.

Answer 175

Love at first sight is a common trope in Western literature, in which a person, character, or speaker feels romantic attraction for a stranger on the first sight of them. Described by poets and critics from the Greek world on, it has become one of the most powerful tropes in Western fiction.



In the classical world, the phenomenon of "love at first sight" was understood within the context of a more general conception of passionate love, a kind of madness or, as the Greeks put it, theia mania ("madness from the gods"). This love passion was described through an elaborate metaphoric and mythological psychological schema involving "love's arrows" or "love darts," the source of which was often given as the mythological Eros or Cupid, sometimes by other mythological deities (such as Rumor). At times, the source of the arrows was said to be the image of the beautiful love object itself. If these arrows arrived at the lover's eyes, they would then travel to and 'pierce' his or her heart, overwhelming them with desire and longing (love sickness). The image of the "arrow's wound" was sometimes used to create oxymorons and rhetorical antithesis.



"Love at first sight" was explained as a sudden and immediate beguiling of the lover through the action of these processes, and is illustrated in numerous Greek and Roman works. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Narcissus becomes immediately spellbound and charmed by his own (unbeknownst to him) image. In Achilles Tatius's Leucippe and Clitophon, the lover Clitophon thus describes his own experience of the phenomenon: "As soon as I had seen her, I was lost. For Beauty's wound is sharper than any weapon's, and it runs through the eyes down to the soul. It is through the eye that love's wound passes, and I now became a prey to a host of emotions..." "Love at first sight" was not, however, the only mode of entering into passionate love in classical texts; at times the passion could occur after the initial meeting or could precede the first glimpse.

Answer 176

No there's no such thing love at first sight it takes time to get to know the person.

Answer 177

i don't think i believe in love at first sight. there are still too many factors involved to get the couple together; however i do believe that if it is meant to be, it will happen.

Answer 178

No, I don't, because you can't really know someone just after you see them. It's the relationship you have with each other that's most important, and not looks.

Answer 179

No, takes more than just the first sight. Interaction, communication etc.

Answer 180

Yes and i also believe in hate at first sight as well

Answer 181

No, but I believe in lust at first sight. You can fall in love with someones appearance at first sight.

Answer 182

No, it's more of an impulsive feeling at first. You feel like you're in love, but I don't think it's possible. Love is possible, but not at first sight.

Answer 183

Love requires a bond to be formed, and a bond requires time.

Answer 184

Yes



Because I'm a victim of one

Answer 185

attraction happens at first sight, love happens over time

Answer 186

I do but I just think that only a select few ever experience it

Answer 187

Yes, and I also believe in a blossoming relationship!! I've had experience with both, and they exist!!

Answer 188

You don't really see a stranger and go 'Wow, I love that person'.



I think it's lust at first, but after talking it might turn to love.

Answer 189

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Twice in my life, I have experienced it, and was right both times.



Once, in high school, there was a transfer student who walked into my classroom, and I fell off my chair, literally, when she was walked. She was breath taking. I knew IMMEDIATEDLY, as preposterous as it was, that somehow, someway, she would be part of my life. I didn't know how..............I didn't know when................but I KNEW it.....the second I laid eyes on her.



And then, as quickly as she appeared, and stayed in the class only for a few days, and I gazed upon her staggering beauty..........then she vanished again.



I never saw her again........don't know where she went......don't know what happened to her.



4 years later, in college, I was doing my student teaching in the college day care center.......and who walks in? It was her. Beautiful as ever.................even more so.



a silly elopement, she had dropped out of school........married, had a baby, and after that mistake failed..........she was now in college, going for a degree........and enrolling her daughter in the day care center.



She would NOT get away a second time.............and I asked her out. And that's how our relationship started............but I knew the day I first saw her.......I would date her someday.



Like a glimpse of the future............but it just wasn't our time yet.............



The second time it happened, it was the same exact thing........



I walked into a party, and there was this stunning angel sitting in a chair. It was tunnel vision.............all I could see was HER, and the rest of the room just went into a blur.



She was practically glowing..........giving off an aura..........like none I have ever seen,



She rebuffed my advances at first.........but I was undeterred...........I *KNEW*......once again, I just KNEW. I knew it was her..............I knew she would be a part of my life, in a big way...........



there was no mistake..............



at the end of the party..........I was striking out.......she didn't seem interested..........I would never see her again.................something was wrong.............this girl was suppose to be in my life......I KNEW it.................so as a last gasp gesture,............I just gave her my number, and told her to call me if she changed her mind.-



She let me stew for nearly a month...........and then one day, the phone rang. She had found my number and asked to meet.................and we dated for the next 2 years.



Neither relationship led to marriage ......much to my disappointment.......but I was glad to be with them both, for as long as I was.



And I *KNEW* both times, the second I saw them........that we would have a relationship and they would at least be part of my life.

Answer 190

No but I Believe in Lust at first sight

Answer 191

Yes, because I believe you know immediately if you love someone.

Answer 192

No, it takes a lifetime to find out things about each other.

Answer 193

Yes, the moment I saw my now boyfriend I knew there was something about him that I just needed to know. It turns out that I just needed him. He started talking to me one day when we locked eyes downtown. We exchanged numbers and the rest is history. We've been together for years and I love him more every day.

Answer 194

Personally, I would love to believe in the idea of falling in love with someone at first sight, but I just can't. If you are instantly attracted to someone at first sight, then you're falling in love with their appearance. Falling in love with someone, isn't just their physical appearance but their personality rather. You can't know what someones appearance is like at first sight, it definitely takes a lot longer to get to know someone. You just can't fall in love with someone at first sight.

Answer 195

Love at first sight is just a polite way of saying I'm horney for you!

Answer 196

No, but I believe in love at first conversation ;) happened to me, they used be to me just some kid that went to my elementary, but then he jabbed me with pencil in fourth grade on purpose, i snapped at him, he snapped at me, hah new he was the one for me :) now im 14, 5 yrs have passed and i am still inlove.

Answer 197

no i dont believe that because you might meet the sexiest or the most handsome female or male in the world but it might not be what it turns out to be.and they might not love you they will probably do it to you and leave (personal experience)....

Answer 198

No i don't believe in love at first sight

Love at first fright

Answer 199

Answer 200

I believe in sex on the first night :D

Answer 201

Yes and no in my experience it's always happened at second sight funnily enough!

Answer 202

Silly Yahoo! That only applies to bacon!

Answer 203

yes because sometime it works out in a glance of an eye.

Answer 204

Yes because its truly something magical that only two people share with each other that can't be explained.

Answer 205

I personally don't believe in valentine day.

Answer 206

You can think someone might be the one just by looking but that's not love

Answer 207

at first sight its only attraction we fell in love when we get to know the person

Answer 208

no because you might think you love someone but until you hang out with them and actually love them as friends then you cant just say hey i just met you and this is crazy but i love you so marry me maybe

Answer 209

No, because to love someone, you have to get to know them. You can only have lust at first sight, not love.

Answer 210

No... because you don't know their personality. You can be attracted to them but I don't think you can love the person just yet.

Answer 211

Well you have to know somebody if you really like them.. Like there could be a really cute person but they could not be the person you want..

Answer 212

There's no such thing as love at first sight, it's lust at first sight.



To truly love someone you have to know them, know their personality, know the good and bad in them, and accept them for who they are.



You can't just see someone you're attracted too and call it love because it ruins the meaning of it, it's just lust or infatuation.

Answer 213

i don't because a person could look pretty/handsome but they could be everything you are against. Plus lust is a big factor in love at first sight.

Answer 214

Of course, everything is possible and if anything has a chance to be real then instant love is sure to be one of them with all the magic involved.

Answer 215

You can't love one the first instant you see them. Love is so much deeper than that.

Answer 216

I believe in INFATUATION at first sight. It takes a long time to build true love. :)

Answer 217

No. Because if you don't know someone you can't love them. Sure, you can think they're cute or whatever, but until you get to know them you can't love them.

Answer 218

i do believe that, cause you have a certain feeling in your body that you can't explain.

however, the eyes lie, but the heart does not

Answer 219

If you can't spot love at first sight, keep looking, it's in there...

Answer 220

Yes! I absolutely believe in this!

Answer 221

yes!! still together and strong after almost 8 years...i knew right from the beginning this is it :)

Answer 222

I always thought it was in Fairy tales ...... Until I saw "HER" .... then she smiled at me & i thought

I was gonna faint!! ---- we didn't even know each others names & spent the rest of the evening talking & getting to know each other .............. then - We got married 4 days later!!



We just knew it was "Right" ............ (Still married, BTW)

Answer 223

Yes <3 because its destiny and fate, or so I hope to believe :)

Answer 224

Yes. Because it happened to me, twice.

Answer 225

I definitely believe you can be attracted to someone just by looking at them.

Because what you see determines your judgement of weather you think you'll like them or not.

Answer 226

i don't really believe in love at first sight. it's never happened to me personally

Answer 232

Very good

Answer 233

Yes I do! I would not have said it until I experienced it though!

Answer 234

I think you have to know the persons personality to have true love!

Answer 235

no becaause that is lust

love is when you like whats inside adn outside

you don't whats inside when you see them from the outside. Just superficial

Answer 236

Yes, want proof? AHHA you must be that desperate! Go to wrestlemania and disturb the shield. I would like to see you get your *** kicked

I'm not sure, I think I'd have to have more relationships to have a good idea if it does exist

Answer 239

yes

Answer 240

yes

Answer 241

yes

Answer 242

No..but apparently Romeo and Juliet did or else they would still be alive.

Answer 244

I didn't until I ended up marrying him

Answer 245

Yes. I do!

Answer 249

Attraction, yes but love, no.

Answer 250

No love would mostly come from when you spend time together.

No, because there is no knowing a person at first sight. Love MEANS knowing someone deeply and loving them, otherwise it's just an infatuation based on a momentary glance.

i believe in lust at first site, not love.

Answer 294

I don't want to believe it but I do

Answer 295

No, because you have to get to know the person.



If you don't, then chances are, your friendship can end on the spot.

Answer 296

Love at first sight? AHAHA.... No, fùck that shít.

Answer 297

You can't fall in love at first sight. What people mistake for love at first sight is just mutual sexual attraction. You see someone, you find them attractive, then the people who end up falling in love claim it was love at first sight.

Answer 298

Well i do believe in it currently but i think it is infatuation at first sight...to love you have to get to know that person plus it will have to be mutual.

Answer 299

Yes, I do and the reason is that I fell for my beautiful wife the first time I saw her in May 1956. We married on April 20, 1957.

Answer 300

maybe someday i trust first sight. lol...

faafas

Answer 306

no

I only believe in chemistry

No, I believe that you need to get to know people before you fall in love. You can have strong feelings at first but it is just infatuation.

Answer 308

No your attractive to them first then maybe then comes love

Answer 309

yes i do!

Answer 310

nope, not one bit

Answer 311

yes but not only that, i also believe in sex at first site :)

Answer 312

I don't believe in love at first sight. You have no idea what that person is really like. I met this girl and I had no attraction to her, but now I love her more than anything!

Answer 313

I dont.

Answer 314

It's always love at first sight until she starts withholding sex from you until you shower her with gifts and, ultimately, the ring. Then it becomes a living hell.

Answer 315

No, i think you have to get to know them first.

Answer 316

I believe it happens mostly to attractive people.

But it's just a chemical reaction.

Answer 317

I believe in lust at first sight.

Les Miserables reference: When Marius saw Cosette, he saw her right then and "loved" her. I think that he may have thought Cosette was beautiful and all, but I highly doubt he would've truly loved her or have done anything for her.

Answer 318

No.

Answer 319

no

Answer 320

No. Most people aren't capable of instantly loving some random stranger.



EDIT: However, they can be attracted to them.

Answer 321

No. I believe love isn't just physical, but based on an emotional/mental connection. So, I don't believe you can jut see someone and fall in love, as you don't know if you have that emotional connection. love at first sight is really just infatuation/lust.



Exception is w/ family. When babies see their mothers they just have that bond! I guess that's love at first sight :)

Answer 322

Yes, in my case I fall in love from first sight. Now, after nearly 20 years and three kids (now teenagers) still togheter.

Answer 323

I love....lamp...

Answer 324

YES!

Answer 325

No but if she got big boobs, small waist, phat a** & a pretty face I do

Answer 326

nah, that's a one night stand, or lust. those physical pleasures are temporary and disappear as soon as they come, but love takes time. love builds. love loves. I like to think of love as traveling beyond the physical, beyond the mental, and into the spiritual, and maybe beyond that into unconditional love. I like the humorous side to love, too. like roses are red, foxes are clever, I like your butt, let me touch it forever xD or umm are you Google, because you have everything I'm searching for. loool the cheesyness. if both people still feel that warm feeling inside, that's an indication of love

Answer 327

No, because love shouldn't be based on looks or physical appearances. It is how you two act with each other and how deeply your love for each other is and how you good you two are together.

Answer 328

No, every guy I have been with I just saw them and knew I liked them right away and I think that is what happens to people who end up staying together. They just ended up not breaking up, some people do.

Answer 329

no, its just attraction. you're attracted to a lot of people. but you have to get to know them to know if you're going to love them. they could be a crazy asshole, some chicks like that type of guy i guess. but i would'nt love one for sure.

Answer 330

Double bacon cheeseburger... yummy.

Answer 331

I saw a Yahoo staff member once, he was so sexy, i asked for his number but he deleted my account

Answer 332

no, not really.

Answer 333

No. I believe you can be attracted (physically) at first sight, but to truly love someone you must get to know them and love them for who they are rather than what they look like.

Answer 334

NO

Answer 335

Paper Planes That Win A Heart ( Short Story )





The sun shined brightly up in the sky, and Sean could see it through his window. He wished it would give him the energy he needed for the day but the more he looked at it, the more it seemed to scream that his day was just nowhere near as bright. With a sigh, he set aside his blanket and got up, even though the only thing that really appealed to him at the moment was to curl right back to bed. In fact, he would have just done that, if it weren't for the beep that came from his phone.







His heart made a loud thud as he slid the lock screen slowly. Someone seemed to be drumming on his heart as he stared at the 1 new message icon.





With nothing but hope in his heart, he finally clicked it open.





Disappointment immediately hit him. What had been beating wildly a while ago now lay dormant in his chest. It was just another advertisement text; it wasn't her. Which could only mean one thing: she was still mad at him. He couldn't help slumping backward on his bed as the realization sank in.





Jaynee, his Jaynee, his girlfriend of three years, still refused to talk to him. All because he had to act like a jealous boyfriend last night on their Fellowship Night. But he was her boyfriend, didn't he have the right? And from the way he remembered it, he didn't do anything wrong.





"And the Star of the Night goes to..." the emcee had said, looking at the crowd. "Jaynee Bridge."





Jaynee had gotten up while Sean had clapped the hardest, hooting and hollering with their other friends. Pictures were taken, and more pictures were taken. Friends and schoolmates flocked from wherever; Sean couldn't even get close.





At first he was okay with it, boasting and bragging that Jaynee was his girlfriend. But the last straw for him was when he saw hands-boy hands-around Jaynee's shoulder, hands that clasped hers, hands on her waist! Now any sane boyfriend wouldn't just sit in the sideline and watch, right? Of course he had to finally march in front of the camera, take her girlfriend's hand and whisk her away from everyone. No one could blame him, right?





Right?





Ugh. Sean covered his face with a pillow. Well okay, maybe he was... a bit immature. Especially when he started harping on her dress and blaming her for winning the darn stupid award. It wasn't his girlfriend's fault that she was pretty and well-liked.





He groaned again, realizing how much of an idiot he really had been last night, and not to mention rude to their friends for taking Jaynee away like that. No wonder she wasn't talking to him; he had ruined their last junior night.





Now, he could either let her anger subside or he could try again and risked facing her wrath. He didn't have to think twice. He dialed her number.





---





Jaynee's phone beeped again, bringing it to life. She didn't have to look at it to know who the message was from. Sean had been calling her nonstop since the morning and when the guy eventually realized she wasn't picking up, he resorted to spamming her inbox.





Jaynee's fingers twitched, tempted to open her boyfriend's messages. She missed him already, but when she remembered what he did last night, her feeling of disappointment towards him resurfaced and the thought of teaching him a lesson just sprang right back.





She was okay with him being jealous. In fact, she found it sweet and Sean cute. She was even okay when he blamed her dress and complained immaturely; he looked adorable then. What she wasn't okay with though, was when Sean refused to apologize for his behavior. He had been rude, and when he didn't admit that he had done anything wrong at all, he had killed the mood and they had to go straight home on their last junior night.





She would talk to him at the end of the day; Sean would have reflected on his actions by that time.





Her phone beeped again, and before Jaynee's will could crumble, she picked up her phone and took the battery out. Then she just lay back in bed, astounded as she finally realized that it was the first day of summer, and here she was inside their house. The thought made her feel sleepy. She was closing her eyes when she heard a series of thwack from the balcony.





Jaynee's room was at the second floor of their two-storey house. Whatever made the noise got her curious and made her get up. She walked towards the balcony and swept the curtains aside, just in time to see another paper airplane hit her glass door and crashed down, joining a couple more airplanes on the floor.





She slid the glass door open and bent down to pick up an airplane. Realizing something was written inside, she carefully unfolded it, revealing Sean's messy handwriting.





I miss you.









The words immediately tugged at her heart and she picked up another one just as another flying airplane landed on the floor.





I was a jerk.





She picked up another.





I'm sorry.





And another.





I was very rude.





Forgive me.





Talk to me.





Jayneeeeee :(





I will seriously cry in front of your house now.





Tempting, she thought but knew better. Before another airplane could add to the pile at her feet, she stood up and peered below. Sean was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed and was busy scribbling another message. Beside him was a stack of clean sheets of paper, ready to be written upon and folded into an airplane. When Sean finished folding the most recent one and looked up to throw it, Jaynee almost laughed out loud. The guy really was close to tears; Jaynee's heart almost melted right then and there. Almost.





"What are you doing?" she asked, trying to sound indifferent.





The visible shift on Sean's expression just upon hearing her voice couldn't have been more obvious. He stood and looked up at her.





"Missing you," he said sincerely, his eyes fixed on hers. "I'm sorry, Jaynee. I was stupid. I was immature. I was... jealous." Sean said the last word so softly Jaynee wouldn't have understood it if she wasn't looking at him intently. "I should have apologized. I shouldn't have ruined our night. I'm sorry."





Jaynee just looked at him and Sean was almost afraid to say another word. Almost.





"Jaynee, please say something."





Her lips finally curled into a smile. "Okay. We're good."





"We are? Can I come up now? My neck is aching."





Jaynee laughed at that.





Half a minute later, Sean was opening Jaynee's door. His girlfriend was still at the balcony, going over his paper airplanes. He walked slowly and paused, and just stared at his girlfriend.





Jaynee smiled up at him and even though he had seen it countless times, it never failed to make his heart flutter.





He opened his arms and Jaynee stepped into his embrace, her body fitting perfectly against his. "I'm sorry, too, Sean. For not talking to you sooner."





"Hey, we're good now. It doesn't matter." He hugged her tighter.





"Actually, you had me at 'missing you'," Jaynee mumbled against his chest. "What you'd have said after that wouldn't have mattered."





Sean pulled away and laughed. "You cheeky little thing."





"You love this cheeky little thing." Jaynee grinned right back.





Sean had never looked upon anyone as beautiful. Bridging the gap between them, he kissed her, knowing his heart would speak louder than his words.

Answer 336

not real love. it's just attraction.

Answer 337

That's a good question, but first you have to realize love is an illusion. It all depends what's going on with me emotionly.

Answer 338

i believe that you cant love someone at first sight. you have to get to know the person before making a full judgement

Answer 339

Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 340

no!

Answer 341

Of course. Don't care about how shallow people say guys are, looks are the main attraction in women. Personality is also important, but who would want to date someone uglier than a pit bull, even if she's really nice? I know that sounds harsh, but imagine this: A bunch of guy friends in a club, talking about girls and sh!t, and one guy dares you to go flirt with this really ugly girl who none of them have met before. Never going to happen. Same applies to girls flirting with guys.

Answer 342

I know it's true when it comes to food. When I first saw that double bacon cheeseburger, I was in love.
