    Well When I met my late wife Zena, it was the end of the Night at a club in Norwich England, I knew by the end of those three dances I wanted her to be my wife, so I did something I never used to do and I asked her for her phone number, she then did something she never used to do and gave it to me. Not sure its first site but took about 20 mins. We were married 23 years 10 months and 9 days when god called her home.

    This is a precious story. I'm sure her life was filled with love. I'm glad to know that you believe you'll get to be with her again someday. I wish you many blessings.

    I do. but you don't always know you've fallen straight away. You just suddenly stop looking and have a major epiphany about life, the universe and everything. 6 years on you wake up married with a gorgeous little girl.
    You can infatuate at first sight and confuse it with love at first sight, and also sometimes you can have love at first sight but circumstances mean an actual functioning relationship will never work. Oh, life can be so complicated.

    Nope. I believe in lust at first sight (which is fun) but you can't love someone without knowing them.

    So how does a mother love her unborn child that she's never met?

    Yes! It happened to me, and took me a year to make him mine! Before that I would have said hell no.

    No. Infatuation at first sight, yes. It can lead to love but most often it just leads to disappointment. I have a good man now but we'll see how long it takes for him to get bored of me like the others. *sigh*

    Isn't that a bit of a defeatist, self fulfilling prophecy type attitude? If he is a good guy... You shouldn't expect him to leave. Then you have no one to blame but yourself when he does.

    I'm just having an off day. Also, short marriages and bad relationships run in the family it seems. And I've tried being positive in previous relationships and it's just lead to me getting really hurt by *kitten*. Sooo I always have the "worst case" scenario in my head so I'm not surprised when it eventually happens. Happily ever afters are for Disney Princesses. Girls like me fall in love, get married and then are left to leave the children alone, just like my mother was. I can hope for sometime better but the odds aren't in my favor with a 50% divorce rate in the united states.

    Absolutely.
    My grandparents knew each other for 9 weeks before they were married (six of which they were engaged for). He asked her to marry him right after he asked her to dance. They went to get their marriage license & came back married. The whole story is long & super cute, but I'm lazy, lol.

    The night I met my husband I never left. Literally...I went to a friends house...he was there and ten years later we are still very much happy, married, 3 kids, still interested in each other, not bored, can't keep our hands to ourselves, want to spend every possible minute together in love. So yes I really believe in LOVE at first site...it was much more then just lust when we met. :love: :smooched: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: On and also...we met on a Saturday...on Sunday he asked me to marry him :) I said yes.

    Kind of. When I first met my husband something in the recesses of my brain started screaming "Pay attention! This is important!"
    It wasn't love, that took a little while. I just knew he was going to be important.

    Maybe the expression love at first sight might not be the right one.

    Meeting someone and after a very short time feeling like you found part of you that was missing?

    Finding someone that is so completly compatible with you that you feel comfortable with him/her right away?

    i am curious if this is really out there too?

    You get the love you think you deserve.

    The real question here is, "Do you judge a book by its cover?" Or alternatively, "Do you completely dismiss someone's personality?" There's no possible way to get an idea of someone's behavior, their tendencies, their thoughts, their past deeds and misdeeds, just by glancing at them.

    If none of that stuff is important to you, then sure. It's possible.

    exactly. human bonds are far more spiritual than maybe we realise.

    I don't believe in love at first sight but I definitely feel like it's possible to click with someone almost right away in such a way way that makes you feel instantly comfortable around them and want to spend all your time with them. Love?.... I think that takes a while.

    To be perfectly honest. I didn't. I DO love my child, but before I met her it was not a love. It was a responsibility to keep this person safe. It was a fear that I would screw her up. It was PART of me. I wanted to take care of her, but I didn't love her yet. I had love FOR her, what she meant, what she represented, but not her as a person yet. That came later. Once she began developing personality. Love is not a word I take lightly. I have only ever "loved" one man, my grandparents and my parents, and now, my daughter.

    I say yes, my bf & I met one night when we were out with friends. We hung out & talked all night it's been 3 years and we're still together talking marriage & having the time of our lives. We have pictures of us that first night we met and you can see it on both of our faces. :heart: :love:
