Hathor Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Did it work out for you? I experienced love at first meeting recently. We both felt it. It's very early days though. Link to post Share on other sites
BaileyB Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 No, but my boyfriend says he has felt it. He says that he saw me through a window and knew that he had to meet me... I will say, I have felt like there were some people i have met and I have just known - "You get me. We are going to be great friends." Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Did it work out for you? I experienced love at first meeting recently. We both felt it. It's very early days though. Yes, exactly 4 years ago. It was firework for both of us. We dated 6 months and then he disappeared without a word. It took 2 months for him to write to me to tell me he was sorry and I deserved a better man. To this day I get mad thinking about it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
SevenCity Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 By my definition, this is really lust at first sight. I don't deny that there are times when I have had an intense physical, emotional, and spiritual connection towards a woman. However, love to me is something that develops overtime. How can you love someone you know nothing about? Last time it happened we did fall in love and dated for 7 years until she left with no reason. So did it work out? Not really 6 Link to post Share on other sites
No_Go Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 3 times for me. Actually including childhood 4 times but let's keep it to adulthood. 1st time I got sooooo obsessed I was lusting after him for many many years (I was inexperienced virgin so I hope its forgivable ).i fell for him based on some emails and on our first phone call I got explosive chemistry. He divorced and remarried while I was still lusting after him 2nd time I haven't even met him when it happened. We went out 2x only (8 hours each) and then he ghosted. Brought me to this forum, yay. 3rd time recently-the second I saw his profile. i don't want to talk about it because I wrote way too much. Looks like another epic failure. So - yep, it happens here and there, but I fail in sustaining it. Too bad - because it feels so much better than grow-in-love type of experience. Link to post Share on other sites

coolheadal Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 You would know when it happens because this is one of our traits that GOD has given to his creation us. When the right man or woman comes into our lives it's like magic. I've experience this a few times already but when I was in college there was Sarah we just click so well I made the worst mistake of my life I will never forget it. If I could go back in time I would change what I did and tell my younger self not to do it. If I did it right I would be happily married with the kids and wife I wanted today.. That paradox never come to be this one where I am today in this paradox.. Love happens when it does you will feel it and it's wonderful.. Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I have, and he was interested back and we got close, but I was way more into him, I guess. It's complicated. So it didn't work out if you mean happily ever after, but we had a genuine connection. Link to post Share on other sites

limichelle Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 This post reminds me of that movie What Dreams May Come. When Robin Williams Charachter sees her for the first time then goes to hell and back for her. That's true love at first sight! As for me twice. The first one I was with the guy for a decade and I will always love him. I can no longer be with him as things changed so drastically at the end. I just carry the fond memories with me. Right now is the second time. We met on my 35th birthday this past July and have been together for a short time of almost 2 months. I'm still skeptical because of how when I had love at first sight the first time it didn't pan out to be forever. Also our timing was off in how we met guy number 2. I mean we met on an online dating app. I've spent a lot of time at his condo. But the physical intimacy isn't there yet because I want to lose a lot of weight! Good thing he's patient and in agreement. I wish I had met him after I lost the weight. But when it happens it happens! Lisa Link to post Share on other sites

SevenCity Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 A 7-year-long serious relationship should be considered a success. Just curious: was it lust at first sight for her too? The months crying my eyes out and ready to kill myself doesn't scream success to me. And yes, it was both ways. I had the deepest connection with her (and her with me) I have ever experienced with another human being in my entire life. I was going to ask her to marry me on our anniversary but she left me instead. Epic fail. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mortensorchid Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Me? No not me. I experienced lust at first sight, that's for sure. But that was in my wilder party days. I did know someone who experienced it. Strike me dead if I am lying - My mom's friend Joan went to a party hosted by someone many years ago and met this man Richard there who was from England and was traveling with his family to visit friends in the US. They met, they were instantly attracted to each other, but they were at a family party so they couldn't do anything like if two people met in a bar. Richard left town, a few days later he called Joan and said he had some unfinished business and was coming back to town, would she like to spend some time together? She said yes. He came back a few days later, and said his unfinished business was that he wanted to see her again and would she do him the honor of being his wife? She did not say yes immediately but said she felt the same as him. They wrote each other daily (this was long before the days of the internet) and she went to England to spend Christmas with him. He asked again, this time she said yes, they married and spent the next 35 years in wedded bliss (ending with her death in 2002). True story. So does it happen? Well, yes, it does. And that story is proof positive. Will it and does it happen to everyone? It very well may. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

healing light Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Imo, those who think it's lust at first sight have never experienced love at first sight. I've experienced it once, and know it was both ways. One of the most painful situations in my life. I'll always love him to some degree. I personally believe these connections happen from past life history/blah blah blah. I like to ask people this and of the ones who have experienced it, either it ends in a crash and burn because the timing/maturity levels weren't right or they get married it seems, haha. John Gray, author of the Mars Venus series, talks about this. He says to be cautious when you meet people you have this connection with because often they bring your issues to the table--his experience has shown that people you're strongly and inexplicably attracted at first sight often resonate/complement your unresolved business. This is a double-edged sword because you have great potential for growth and expressing your best self vs. triggering each other. Link to post Share on other sites
Robratory Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Did it work out for you? I experienced love at first meeting recently. We both felt it. It's very early days though. Yes, and you should thoroughly enjoy the high. Sex is gross and giving birth is even worse, so Mother Nature hits us over the head with endorphins and hormones, rendering us goofy for a while. Enjoy it, but know that there will be lots of hard, difficult work ahead. Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to ask her to marry me on our anniversary but she left me instead. Many people believe that couples who are serious with each other tend to get married within 2-3 years of their relationship (unless they are very young). Waiting too long may lose the momentum of their relationship. Link to post Share on other sites
Jsos91 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I would say I have.. but I wouldn't say it's always a good thing. My ex and I met online and when we met in person I was smitten from the moment I saw her. It was this earth shifting moment and everything was sunshine and rainbows. The reason I say it isn't always a good thing is that I think I became blinded by it and by all the romance. We attached too quickly without knowing who we were really attaching to and it turned out we weren't nearly as compatible as maybe we thought we would be. Needless to say, we crashed and burned but it was a VERY valuable lesson for me to learn. I refuse to rush anything now and even if I feel an incredble spark with someone I won't dive in until I learn everything I need to, to do so. Link to post Share on other sites
Fishforbreakfast Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yes! My ex as soon as I met him I was like "this is not good" we had a super intense relationship that blew up in flames just the way it started. Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Spider Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I wouldn't say 'love' and I wouldn't say 'first sight' but pretty close. I tend to know right away, just a few conversations, if I will connect with someone romantically. The rest just falls in place and I fall in love, as long as there aren't any horrible, out-of-left-field red flags thereafter Link to post Share on other sites
PinkPampies Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I had something like this happen... my first thought ever when I first saw him was, "he's going to break my heart one day". And he did. Link to post Share on other sites
