    Love at first sight is a bunch of BS people make up in their mind to over-romanticize everything. I get love at first sight all the time. Maybe you see someone on the street and lock eyes and have some sort of special "moment". So you go talk to them only to find out that they're married or your long lost cousin.

    Or maybe you've just had the best first date of your life, you tell yourself this person could be the one and they're everything you're looking for. So you get to know them over the span of a few weeks only to find out that you don't really even like them as a person or you want different things out of life or you just don't get along.

    People think it is love at first sight because of a story they heard from somebody 12 years ago or the saw something about it in a movie. I call it lust or infatuation, love must stand the test of time. This is real life and people have real problems. Can it happen? Of course it can, people fall in love all the time and get married and live happily or unhappily ever after. A lot of people also get rejected or divorced.


    So true.

    Yep. I think people get confused because they think if they marry the person they had an instant connection with and they're still married 5 or 10 or 20 years later, it means it was love at first sight. Nope, it just means you got lucky. Congratulations.

    I'm going with "It happens when it happens". Of course, I might just be waxing philosophical.

    I believe this in a "grand scheme of things" context. As a religious person, I do think God moves people in and out of our lives for a reason. But I think it's easier for women than for men to take the "wait and see" approach because men are typically the ones who do the pursuing. If they wait around until some amazing woman smacks them upside the head, they're likely to die single.

    But I do think, man or woman, you have to at least put yourself in a position to meet lots of new people on a regular basis. As a friend of mine said to me recently, it is almost impossible to randomly meet someone you could have a lifelong relationship with if you live the same day over and over again.

    What I mean is - there's no telling when why or how something will happen. Whether you believe in fate, or chance or whatever. Things happen and there's no forcing it. If you are looking or you stop looking - things happen.
