We hear so much about people falling in love at first sight and we also hear about people who disliked each other at first sight and indeed avoided each other like the plague but who eventually fell in love and stayed in love forever while those who fell in love at first sight stopped seeing each other or separated from one another after a short period of time. Do you believe in love at fuirst sight and do you think people who fell in love at first sight really do so with a deep and sincere feeling or would such "love" fade away as fast as it came to life?

I never believed in love at first sight. I never believed people when they talked about falling in love with someone the moment they met.
But then I met my boyfriend and I can honestly say it was love at first sight. I saw him and my heart just fell and my love for him just keeps growing. I actually fought with myself saying there was no way I could have loved him so soon.
I don't think our love will fade, only get stronger as we grow closer together.

While I don't really believe in love at first sight it does not mean that I don't wish luck and happiness to those who believe they have fallen in love at first sight and i do wish you all the luck and happiness love can bring my dear rmuxagirl.I suggest you just don't rely on that love being strong to survive but you have to work on it to ensure it does. Nurture it and since both of you feel the same way, then I guess your feelings can really blossom and last.

I do not really believe that there is such thing as love at first sight. Perhaps, it is attraction but not love that two people feel when they meet for the first time. I personally think that I can't love someone whom I meet for the first time. That is because I can only say I love someone I know.

I believe in love at first site. When I first seen my now husband I looked at him and knew. I said to my friend "see that guy there in the black shirt I want him" that was the end of it we have been together ever since. Obvously he felt the same way. We met Oct 17 2003 and were married July 17th 2004. Its been a long 4 years with many happy events and accomplishments, including moving 1200 miles away from where we met, buying a house, and having our now 18 month old daughter. The love has only grown stronger. There have been some hard times and arguments but thats part of a relationship.
And my daughter She was my love at first site too. I mean I loved her when I was pregnant but when I got to hold her and look into her eyes that was real true unconditional love. She is the true love of my life.

No, I have never believed in love at first sight. I myself have been taken in by people that I have met, but how can you love a person that you have never ever met before? You have to get to know a person, know what they are before you can really love them.Love is more than physical attraction.Love is connection with anither person emotionaly.It takes a lot of communication ans soul searching.

I agree with you sunkissed. It just does not seem possible that people who just laid eyes on each other would fall in love without even a bit of information about the other person. What they might feel is not true love but physical attraction. Maybe that's why so many marriages fail because they thought they fell in love at first sight when all they felt was physical attraction.

Would like to help you clandestinef but I think it is something which a person has to feel on his/her own as it depends on what attracts you. i guess it must be wonderful to feel as though you have fallen in love at first sight but think of the consequences if it turns out not to be love at all but just physical attraction or infatuation that is short lived.

I really don't believe in the idea of falling in love at first sight. Based on experience and observations with people, I believe that it is just an attraction or infatuation that they feel at first. This is very apparent when a person that someone feels attracted to is someone worth that feeling - an attractive person with a great personality.

I have to comment here - as you know I do believe in love at first site.
When I looked at my now husband I knew - right then and there with out a doubt I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. I was sitting there with the group of people and day dreaming about our wedding and I didn't even know his name! I truly could have said I love you that night.
I later found out early that evening he had been talking about not looking any more his words were "she'll find me" and I did. We have been together ever since.
My parents were the same way. They knew each other for 4 days and they were engaged. They are 13 years married now.
