Title: Do you believe in love at first sight?
Post by: Rhonda on Mar 03 07 05:44
I don't. I believe you have to know a person pretty well before you fall truly and madly in love.

I don't either.  

  I believe there may be immediate chemistry......and I believe there may be immediate attraction.....but love takes time.

 I see love as this

first you go oh she's a hottie
then you are like oh I like her
then its I can't get her out of my mind
then its gawd stop staring at her she'll think you're weird
then I ask somebody if she's single
she's single
oh boy
settle down settle down
I say hey
she goes hi
I sweat buckets
I faint
she laughs
I ask her out
anvil hits me on my head
she says yes
I faint again
and do I'm the king of the world thing

I believe there's got to be some sort of physical attraction at first. Depending on the guy and the chemistry...... but mostly I believe in knowing a person before falling in love. I think women are more clued in to the emotions and guys are, well, guys are more visual.

well that would be the ideal girlfriend for me.  Somebody who is just as political or a girl who isn't the 'talker' stereo type because I can out talk anyone on the planet.  Like those commericals of the guy just sitting there and the girl is talking non stop. I'm the girl, I talk and talk and talk and talk until I go hoarse.

Time chiefly affects one aspect of "Love" as a whole, it affects the caring part.

[FONT color=#bf00bf]It's rare. But I believe it exists.[/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf][/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf]A mental state of neutrality would be the only prequisite. [/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf][/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf]When you first see the other person you're neutral - you haven't met the person yet, you don't know anything about them... so impressions come easier. [/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf][/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf]Usually the very first impressions are those that come from the subconscious. And subconscious is the part that KNOWS all about your compatibility and future prospects with the other person. [/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf][/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf]One must be calm to pick up those very first impressions. That's why I say it's rare because we're conditioned to repress all info that does not come from the rational mind. [/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf][/FONT]

[FONT color=#bf00bf]Consequently I also believe 99.9% of the time what's perceived as love at first sight, is just lust in disguise. [/FONT][A onclick="addImg('icon/509.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"][FONT color=#bf00bf](//vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon/509.gif)[/FONT][/A]

n...I don't believe in LAFS.  Lust in disquise is what it is.  Takes time and attention to cultivate a true love.

My b/f noticed me first at the very beginning.  He told me that it was "love at first sight."  I noticed him too, sooner or later.  When our eyes met for the very first time, I knew that there was something special between him and I.  I felt like I had to get to know him and he felt the same way as well.  Love at first sight has to happen when both parties feel.  Him and I created the feeling of "love" at first sight.  My two cents.

lust at first sight. Thats what the tingling in the loins when you see a hottie means. Not love.    
Title: Re: Do you believe in love at first sight?
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 05 07 12:27
Its initial attraction at first sight.  You become attracted to the person and they become initially attracted to you.  Then you've got to build on that.  So its not really love at first sight, but initial attraction that causes any relationship.  It becomes 'love' when you say 'hey, I'm really starting to like being around this person'.
