In movies we see two people falling in love at the first glance. In real life too, many people have gone through this experience.What is this phenomenon and how does this workout. How can someone get attracted to someone without even knowing his or her name? Is this attraction or something else. Please let your comments flow.

Studies have shown, it only takes 30 seconds for you to feel the chemistry towards the special someone. I won't call it love at first sight, but I would not know any other better words to phrase it. I've felt this way before. Like you saw someone that leaves a deep impression on you and you cant help thinking about her. And if you get to know her, even the slightest knowledge of her will makes you keep wondering more.

Its mostly attraction, if you don't know even the name of the person and what he is ,from where he is its really physical attraction.The beauty outside may not exsist inside ,so be careful.

I think it is physical attraction and initially infatuation towards the other person. I cannot understand the concept of love at first sight. I have not come across any such experiences in my life. Have you ever felt such experience? Have a nice day!

I sometimes fall in love with pretty girl at the first glance. Actually, I agree love like this. Without complex elements, so natural and artless,even it wouldn't have the following story. Once I express my love to one girl, she said that I was that unceremonious. In fact all girls nowadays won't trust you easily. I doubt that whether there's any artless love in the world. I feel extremity upset that girl always choose a bad boy who is smooth-tongued.

I absolutely Dont believe in Love at first sight. Ofcourse I have heard about this in real life, But I wonder "How". I feel its absolutely impossible for anyone to fall in love until and unless they know each other very well. May be even for a shorter span. I guess People go by looks in their first meet and presume that he/she is the person for me. This is pure infactuation according to me. Very difficult to follow in real life.

I don't think so. I have never believed in love at first sight.I ahve always believed that love is a gradual process.It grows as you come to know a person.How can it be love.It is just attraction.

It's instinct. It's chemistry. I agree with the person who said studies show it takes 30 seconds for the chemistry to hit or whatever it was. I think when you meet someone, you get a feeling about them. Whether it's the feeling that you like them as a person, a friend, a date. It could also be the feeling that you don't like this person for whatever reason. Also, there are things called pheromones. It's basically the same concept of how animals attract a mate. It's this natural smell that attracts one person to another. It's not a smell you really smell or you even realize. But that's something else that's in the chemistry of human beings type studies.

Hi touchnshine! I do love talking about love. It makes me feel so in love. LOL! I think physical attraction is what drew us with another person, the way he walks, the way he smile, etc...that captures our attention...but there are others who say that there is something inside that you can't really explain why you are drawn to another person, it is like as if your soul is yearning for him...they say it is the meeting of soulmates, and I was told we all have several soulmates. I do believe that, because I have experienced that before and I can't simply explained why and how I am feeling so excited, so happy, so afraid---almost all emotions comes rushing inside me all at once. To be honest, I still wonder why I felt that way before. And I should stop thinking and wondering because my hubby might read this. LOL! just kidding...it's in the past now and I guess, I am just happy to share it with you. Have a nice day and take care.

Yes, in real life also we face same situation Love at First Sight. I have experienced this twice till now and i was serious for both of them. This was just not because of physical attraction. Thihns goes on more strong when you come to more about that person.

There are no such things called 'Love at first sight'. It's only attraction which let weak minded fellows into this trash.
