I was going to say the same thing. How could she not be convinced when it happened to her parents? I guess it takes experience in order to be convinced at something.

I have never experience this so it make sense to me I'm not convinced yet. I can imagine the guy saying it was "love at first sight" for him but that doesn't mean it was "love at first sight" for me.

Only the cute ones.

I also don't think it's lust at all, since i've never wanted to , um, have sex with the dog.

Yeah, the less attractive ones take longer to love.

Lust is instant, love takes knowing someone and making the choice to care for them.

I think the only thing at first sight is physical attraction, infatuation or even lust. Correct me if I'm wrong but I seriously think it's only attraction at first sight rather than actual love.

What do you guys think?
I think it does exist. 22 years ago I spotted 'The One'...started a conversation and never went home, literally. Next day, after a long night of talking 'and such', I drove home, packed my stuff and my cat and moved in.
You know when it's right.

Fantasy.

How can you know someone well enough to love them just based on a glance?

Negative on love at first sight for me. Love is more than attraction, and something that cannot be determined on just seeing someone.

Even with instant attraction for people, I have found getting to know someone and developing love for them significantly enhances whatever initial attraction I had.

if you're somebody that is like that that wants to be with somebody their whole life the first time you meet them, then you're one scary person.
