skydiveaddict Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Has anyone here ever experienced it? I never have. How 'bout the rest of you?
Cinderella7 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I've never experienced it. I've "clicked" with people, both men & women, right away, and found them very easy to get along with, but never love at first sight. I'm not sure if I believe in it either, because the word "love" has such a deep connotation for me. I think a huge part of being in love with someone is time and getting to know them over an extended period, and that clearly can't happen in an instant.
greatgirlfriend Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Yes, the guy I want now. Though to be fair, I already knew him when I saw him again. It just clicked the moment I opened the door.
counterman Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Well, a lot of people will say that you can't possibly "love" someone just at the first sight of them. True love takes a connection, intimacy and other things. In saying that, I have fallen for someone who I was really interested in and thought I would probably love and ended up loving. I was struck by her one day upon seeing her. Probably more lust at first sight.
Crazy Magnet Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I can't say that I believe "love" in the intimate sense of the word can happen at first sight, but I can pretty much tell instantly if i want to be with someone or not. I nearly keeled over and had a heart attack on the spot when I met my now BF...if that tells you anything.
Pyro Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I believe in lust at first sight. True love is impossible to get at a first glance.
SoulSearch_CO Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I believe in lust at first sight. True love is impossible to get at a first glance. Was going to write a response and this one pretty much wraps it up. Thanks, Pyro!
Author skydiveaddict Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) I believe in lust at first sight. True love is impossible to get at a first glance. Lust at first sight yea, that has happened to me plenty. I'm talking about if you see (or hopefully talk) to a girl that immediately sparks some emotion deep inside you that says "she's the one for me". Not just at a sexual level, but more than that, something deep inside you that says " I could spend the rest of my life with her", that sort of thing. Impossible? Perhaps you're right. I'm not so sure Edited February 3, 2010 by skydiveaddict
temple Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Wow, I'd like to think there is something like that (so long as it's mutual!) but I have only got as close as 'infatuation at first sight'

I'm not so sure IMO that is impossible for those kinds of emotions to develop at first glance. For those emotions to develop you have to get to know the individual.
Meaplus3 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Have not had this happen to me, but I do believe it's possible. Mea:)
carhill Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Has anyone here ever experienced it? I never have. How 'bout the rest of you? My next significant experience is one which is still with me today, in reality, as I type this. I am currently visiting this person and her children a country away from where we both live. Today is "zoo" day, a first for her only granddaughter. Anyway, back in time.... I was 25, my dad had just died of cancer a few months prior, and I was starting to get my work and personal legs back. At the time, I was working at a machine shop and had purchased my first home about a year prior. In all ways, just a normal day in a usual life for me. One of our customers called and said they were sending over a job for me to look at and gave me the name of the parts person who would be bringing it. I was working away at a lathe and happened to look up as someone walked through the shop door. What happened next was what would become a unique and defining experience for me. When our eyes first met, I saw this sort of glow around her and the room slowly began to rotate (in my mind, of course) and about all I could choke out was "you're XXX" and, strangely, that was all I heard from her. We just kind of stared at each other, something we still do to this day, and events beyond that became sort of cloudy to remember. Having experienced the myriad levels of infatuation, along with 'choosing' to love someone, the experience outlined above, contained within my LS journals, is the best example I can offer. All other experiences, gleaned from over 30 years of contact with the opposite gender, pale in comparison. To me, it's been a great example of a potential impacted by reality and compatibility. Regardless of the outcome, I'm glad it happened, at least once. Perhaps it will again, someday..
Ms. Joolie Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I fall in love easily. Like this morning, waiting for my iced coffee, there was this guy with his toddler... and they were just the cutest thing. I didn't check if there was a ring on his finger or anything, but based on his interaction with his baby girl I was sooooo charmed by that. Also when a guy shows good brain I am sooo taken by that as well. Sometimes it's an attitude they give off, and that takes me instantly, too. .... guess I'm just easy. lol And I don't mean a lust, I mean a real admiration that can turn into romantic love if the right elements were there. But normally I just forget about it and go on my way. Besides, my romantic love is tied up right now to a great man. (who I fell for right away as well, and the right elements were there. lol)
meerkat stew Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm talking about if you see (or hopefully talk) to a girl that immediately sparks some emotion deep inside you that says "she's the one for me". Experienced that feeling back in HS and college, but on reflection, it was always false. Have fallen in love as fast as three months though.
aerogurl87 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 With my ex boyfriend the moment I talked to him I knew I wanted to get to know him better and wanted him in my life for whatever reason. One week later he told me he loved me for the first time and honestly that was the first time I ever felt that I truly loved someone unconditionally. So I guess that was love at first sight.
jhonrider19 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 No, I don’t believe you can just by passing by them or introducing yourselves to each other. However, I do believe that you can fall madly in love with someone by getting to know them and that the feelings you get from that can be so strong that you PERCEIVE love at first sight to be the only explanation. If you don’t have a lot of experience dating, you’d immediately assume he/she is “the one” once you two clicked.
