love at first sight
 
... do you believe in it?

Merrow 05-26-2008 05:57 PM

I believe in attraction at first sight, or crush at first sight, or lust at first sight.

Maybe some people are very free with their emotions, and they can "love" the first thing they see that looks good to them, but I can't love anyone without actually knowing them.

Seems a little too Disney-Princess bogus to me.

KittyTheKat 05-26-2008 05:59 PM

No not really for me it's probably just look at a person and luvz their look ^^

Kaelin Devereux 05-26-2008 06:05 PM

i believe in love at first sight! I mean i knew i loved my boyfriend when i first saw him then got to know him! :D

Nakita-Kitagawa 05-26-2008 06:15 PM

I don't really believe in that.

iZombie 05-26-2008 06:33 PM

As already said, I believe in attraction at first sight, but I hope that love is more then that to people.
Love to me implies that you love all of them, not just their appearance. ^^
And you can't really know a person when you first meet them.

Moogle 05-26-2008 06:38 PM

Nope.

No, there's no such thing.

Most teenagers don't even know the real meaning of love. Emotions aren't as meaningful as they used to be.

Cows Go Moo 05-26-2008 07:17 PM

xD I usually make fun of "love at first sight", though personally it hasn't been proven to me just yet. I mean that could just mean you think the person is attractive rather than someone you love. And they say love is blind so....

Caroline 05-26-2008 07:58 PM

It's happened to me, so yes, I believe in love at first sight.

fl3ur de lis 05-26-2008 08:31 PM

Yeah, I believe in attraction at first sight...

but I think there's more parts to love
than what you can get in just one look.

I don't think love at first sight is really LOVE. I don't think you could really love someone without knowing them. You may love their look or appearance, but you don't really know them so how can you love them? But then again, the first time you see them you may see them doing something very nice. Hm. It all depends I guess.

yeah, I agree. Love at first site is what happens in Hollywood, not real life. Sometimes the attraction at first site does become a "soulmate" relationship, but it still isn't love until you know someone.

narcissa 05-26-2008 09:37 PM

i believe in attraction or lust at first sight, but not love.

love is a strong word and feeling.
it cannot be felt with just one look at someone.

@liverpool glasgow : i definitely agree with that.

Ariadne the Innocent 05-26-2008 09:47 PM

I find it sad when people go out for two or three days and think that they are already in love. Many people don't understand that it's not love yet. Love is a slow process, it's like art, it can't be rushed. You can care about someone, and even befriend someone in that amount of time, but it's not quite the same.

Fullmetal Phantom 05-26-2008 10:49 PM

Yes...and no.

It is POSSIBLE to see little aspects of someone's personality just in how they look and act...subtle little things that match up to someone with your ideal personality traits CAN make initial attraction stronger.

But more commonly...the only thing going on there is physical attraction. Which can START a relationship...but that kind of relationship usually gets boring when the eye candy phase is over.

Then sometimes (rarely) there are those weird coincidences that I don't know if you could really call "love at first sight" or not; when you feel superficially attracted to someone the first time you see them, and later discover that you're completely compatible.

But I don't think you could just look at a picture of someone and GENUINELY "fall in love." THAT'S just...silly.

narcissa 05-26-2008 11:02 PM

@ Ariadne the Innocent : i agree. that really irks me & i see it a lot in teenage relationships. :/

Mekoness 05-26-2008 11:14 PM

I agree with most of the other people so far. Attraction at first sight, infatuation at first sight, after all there has to be something to draw you to get to know a person initially in the first place. I'm particularly critical of that now since I can say I've never been in love yet.

Aylar 05-27-2008 12:10 AM

I don't think so. I believe that you could be attracted to them and want to know them better, but I don't think love can be instant. Who knows though, it is different for everyone.

Saint Sazzle 05-27-2008 12:31 AM

The majority of this site seems to be girls, hmmm..

Vickicat 05-27-2008 12:45 AM

Love.
 
I don't believe in it. I think it takes a while of getting to know someone to love them. I couldn't love someone I knew nothing about, simply based on what they look like.

[Puppet] 05-27-2008 01:13 AM

No. The first time i saw the guy i like i thought "ew he is nasty and nerdish". Now, we are best friends and im totally crushing on him... even though he is a math nerd and a band geek. but he plays tennis. i love guys that play tennis <3
Another time that happened to me that helps show that i do not believe in love at first site is my other friend. im crushing on him hard, and we tell each other that we love each other. when i first saw him on the tennis courts i thought "wow hes really good"
now, we are best friends [still crushing on him and saying that we love each other]
also, i noticed that the guys that i fall for are nerdy, and not very attractive. i always fall for a guy because of their personality.

FlyPanda 05-27-2008 03:12 AM

well, sometimes, but i guess true love at first sight doesn't happen that often, not unless you know them in someway from before you met them (!?!?!?!?)

General Lee Outrageous 05-27-2008 03:16 AM

Not really. People can be attracted to each other and then develop love afterward, but not instantly. Something like that happened to me, but a "friend" screwed it up for me.

celestial_maiden1112 05-27-2008 05:14 AM

I really do Believe in Love at first sight I feel in love with my boyfriend when I first saw Him I knew I Must have him. Its just something inside of you that hits you and you know they are
the one. Thats how it was with me.
