Old men need viagra. You are just 17 years old and haven’t been around the block yet. Do yourself a favor and remember what I said.

That would be like going out to eat and saying you love a dish you’ve never eaten before just because you like the presentation on the plate and you’re sure it tastes as great as it looks. If you think you feel love at first sight you’re only attracted to their looks or something about them and the personality traits you imagine and wish they have. Imagination has alot to do with it. Think of all the times you’ve been attracted to someone and they turn out to be a jerk or atleast very different than you thought they would be. The people who think they’ve experienced love at first sight are really just lucky. They were highly attracted to someone and the person they were attracted to just happened to be pretty close to how they were imagining them to be.

Name : Annie22743, City : St. Louis, State : MO, Country : United States,Call me a cynic, but I’d say it’s more like lust at first sight. Love is supposed to be some kind of deep emotional connection between two people. I defy anyone to show that that can be established at first sight.

I know that sounds like a relativistic dismisal, but love trully is one of the most poorly defined concepts in the english language. The real question you want to ask yourself is, at what point do your feelings of attachment and affection qualify as love? Is love the desire to spend the rest of your life with that special someone? If so, how can you know such a thing upon first seeing a person? It’s really a matter determined by who you are, and it’s something you need to determine on your own.

Name : Exton, Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : nontheist, Age : 18, City : Medway, State : MA, Country : United States, Education level : High School Diploma, Social class : Middle class,When I was younger, I believed that love at first sight was based on assumptions and entirely unlikely. And it most probably still is ‘lust at first sight’. But now, since it did happen to me, I’d have to say that in most situations it doesn’t exist. But there are rare exceptions. When it happened to me, I just saw him and was like, ‘Whoa.’ But I don’t know if it was his general appearance that drew me in, or what he was doing, which was, talking to a group of people in a way that suggested that he enjoyed life. And when I saw him there was some familiarity, as if I’d seen him before, but I knew that was impossible. It was a surreal experience. And after meeting him, I fell into it, because he made me feel so naturally high. I found that we had a lot in common. So maybe, that’s how it works. But if you do find yourself attracted to someone after only just meeting them, precede with caution. Love is enduring, it doesn’t just burn out if it really is love.

If I do, I’ll let ya know. Personally, I don’t think it exists b/c people need to agree about certain basic social issues in order to even begin to fall in love. I’m not saying Republicans and Democrats can’t fall in love, but I certainly don’t think a KKK member and an African-American have ever hit it off simply by getting a glimpse of each other! However, blatant physical attraction is very powerful, occurs at first sight, and is often mistaken for love; if a couple with instant attraction were to discover that they also agreed on most world views, had compatible personalities, and similar emotional depth, then they would probably delude themselves into thinking that they had fallen in love at first sight.

If you see someone who really makes you feel different and just takes your breath away, then yes, it is love at first sight. But hey I’m only 15, what do I know about love at first sight?

Name : Logan28919, Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : White/Caucasian, Age : 15, City : Orange Park, State : FL, Country : United States,I think the biggest misconception here is that people think it is love at first sight before they even talk to the other person. I never bought into it at all, but then I met my wife. I cannot say that I fell in love with her when I first saw her, but I can say that I fell in love with her when we first talked. At that moment, something inside of me clicked and I realized that this was the person I would spend the rest of my life with. Don’t push too hard for it, enjoy being 17.

What can you tell at first sight anyway? My guess would be that once in a blue moon a person prejudges someone for how he or she appears, and by pure chance turns out to be right. Call it love at first sight, or excellent judgement or whatever

Here’s my take on this one; how can you truly love someone if you know absolutely nothing about them. Sure you can take a look across the room and find someone extremely attractive, and maybe you get to know them, go out, hit it off and eventually down the line fall in love with them. The question is, did you fall in love with them the first time you saw him/her? No, you fell in lust with them, you saw something you liked/wanted, you lusted for them for awhile then fell in love with them.

Name : Vanessa28627, City : Fargo, State : ND, Country : United States,Love at first sight may exist but even if it does, don’t discount love at second sight! When I first met the love of my life, I didn’t think we had much in common. Finally, a friend introduced us and said we should talk. After we talked for two hours, I was totally in love! Four years later, I’m still totally in love. So it may not have been love at first sight, but it was true love for sure.
