    maybe not sight, but maybe upon the first meeting. My husband and I knew each other for 24 days when we got married. We have been married for over 20 years.

    or should I walk by again?

    yeah that what it reminded me of, but yeah I don't believe in love at first sight. I believe in infatuation at first sight, reminds me of when I first saw my wife with sober eyes

    No.

    Love is different than that.

    11 years ago I would have said no. People who were all "I love you" after one day of dating annoyed the piss out of me. :huh:

    Then I met my husband and cried with overwhelming feelings after the first date (not around him...didn't want to seem like the crazy lady). Then 3 days later he was pouring his heart out to me and said "Please don't leave me when I say this...This is the weirdest thing, and it has never happened like this before. But, after 3 days of dating you, I think I love you. Well, I knew it on the first night....please please please don't freak out and run."

    A weight was lifted off of my shoulders, because I felt the same.

    Now, 11 years later, I still feel the same (with a little "OMG I AM GOING TO KILL YOU IF YOU THROW YOUR CLOTHES ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE HAMPER!") as I did on day one. I love that slob.

    No..It's more like Lust at first sight, you can't truly love something without getting to know them...

    This.

    Infatuation can feel very strong, but it's not often love unless you two REALLY click.

    I absolutely do.

    Not because I've experienced it, but because I just can't fathom a reason why someone couldn't just know.

    Love takes time to develop, so no.

    But I believe you can fall for someone at first sight.. And only if "first sight" also includes a conversation.. There's more than looks, and someone can be very attractive but be completely incompatible with you.


    I feel you need to get to know a person before you can call it love.

    I guess my answer assumed a lot of things lol.

    By first sight...I meant more along the lines of a first date. I usually know if I can love someone within an hour or so of meeting her...and unless she changes her personality drastically at some point, I'm almost always right.

    What Erin said pretty much covers it...!

    I knew within the first day of meeting my fiance that we would get married. Not the same as love at first sight, but I do believe in instant connection. It helped that I knew his whole family and that they set us up. We knew a lot about one another, which made the transition to being together much easier than if we'd been total strangers.

    Yes, when I first saw my kitten I was in love, it happened again when I met the dog I would rescue and three weeks ago I feel in love with a horse that was given to me....OH my best love at first sight was when they placed my baby boy in my arms and I saw him for the first time. I have never loved like that before.....


    In a SO absolutely not. It has always been false advertising when I thought I was. I love my husband very much but it was not love at first sight or first week.

    YES!!! I knew within the first 10 minutes of meeting my now husband that I was going to marry him. We have been together for 17 years and I couldn't love him more. He tells people the exact same thing. he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me within the first 20 minutes of meeting. he was 17 and I was 18.

    No.
    I've been in love 3 times in my life and in none of the cases was I instantly attracted to the guy to the point where I thought "Damn, I gotta have that, like forever".
    The attraction always came or at least got much stronger AFTER I had gotten to know them.

    Love at first sight is a love that blinds you.

    I believe you can be drawn towards them, look wise but other than that, no I don't believe in it.
