    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.

    my husband and I met on a dating site. We lived 15 minutes apart. So here is what happened.
    Day 1: he sent me a message
    Day 2: I sent him one back
    Day 3: We chatted online
    Day 4: We talked on the phone
    Day 5: We met at a local resteraunt, to meet and eat before our first "official date".
    So I was nervous, but walked in and I saw him and I kid you not he was surrounded in a white light. I had never seen that before, I have never seen that since. but I knew at that moment that he was my husband. Of course, I kept these feelings to myself until we were dating for 2 weeks and he told me that he saw a light around me when we first met.
    Maybe it wasn't love, but it was definately more than lust or attraction.
    We have been married for 8 years now. And some of those years have been really really hard. But, I love him more and more each day! (and somedays I hate him) lol

    I knew I wanted to marry my boyfriend from the first time I met him.
    I don't know if what I believe is necessarily "love at first sight" but more like when you find the person you're supposed to be with, you both just know that life is much better with each other <3

    Attraction is not love. If you think you're in love by just looking at someone you're wrong. Love is not just physical attraction.

    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 so beautiful.

    I agree.

    I think I do.
    I knew my fiance was the guy for me the first time I met him six years ago and luckily he felt the same way. ;)

    I do because my dad says he fell in love with my mom the first time he saw her (she was 14 and he was 17). They've been together for 37 years now :heart:

    I don't because I've never experienced it. However, I have experienced lust at first sight which has led to what I felt was love after a period of time. Not really sure if that counts or helps, lol


    The only people I have ever loved at first sight are my children, and actually I loved them the moment I knew I was pregnant. I didn't need "time to get to know them" or wait for them to "develop their personality" or felt they were just a "responsibility" I loved them with my whole being and now that they are 12 and 14 that feeling has only gotten stronger, along with the craziness they cause me to feel on a daily basis:laugh:


    ETA: I'm not with any of those guys now so I'm pretty sure it doesn't help in the end :laugh:

    Yeah, you feel that sweet panic all over ur body when u see him. I didn't fall in love when i first saw him but i did when he first smiled at me and talked to me! Now after a 1.5 year I have a crush and it's awkward.

    i would say yes. My mom worked at a diner and my dad came in for 2 weeks everyday and waited for her to waite on him. At the end of the 2 weeks he asked her to marry him while she was a work. They left went to JOP and got married on her coffee break. She went back to work after her coffee break was over. They have been married for 53 years.

    I believe in love at first meeting. And after that, love at every sight of them.

    Nope. Not sure how I can love someone by just seeing them. I would hope there would be something deeper there that I love besides just their look.

    Hmm, call me a cynic but not really, however, I do believe in First Lust. My hubby was the hottest guy in college and I wanted him purely for sexual reasons before I'd even spoken to him, once we got to know one another properly love developed but it was mostly lust to begin with.

    My thoughts exactly. I can imagine physical attraction at first glance, and perhaps infatuation after some brief time together, but love? I don't think so.

    Never.

    I have no luck and it'd be worse person possible for me.

    For you, maybe. For someone else...maybe not.

    For me...who knows?

    And who said anything about it being just simple physical attraction. I can tell a HELL of a lot about someones personality just watching them for ten minutes in a social setting. Particularly if they don't notice I'm watching them.

    Not really. True love takes time. I don't see anything wrong with a very strong attraction. But to fall in love with someone immediately. How do you know their flaws?

    How can you be "in love" with someone with whom you have never even had a conversation? With what are you "in love" with exactly? Their f*ckin' haircut? How awesomely they navigate the 20 Items or Less lane at Walmart?

    Holy *kitten* sticks. Really?

    The arcane, asinine notion of "love at first sight" is the very reason this country has a 62% divorce rate, and a 14 year old, prepubesent f*ckstain named Justin Bieber makes $6 million a year pinching-off teeny-bobber bullsh*t songs explaining the "true meaning of love" to me.

    I have a love-at-first-sight story for Justin Bieber's next release... Justin... I'm camming your mom.

    Next.

    (tee hee)
