I think, often, people see what they want to see because they have needs that they want met.

You’re preaching to the choir .... and none of that happens at “ first sight”.

I've had a couple of people feel that way about me. But then again, I'm a catch, an exception. (just kidding)

Love at first sight = infatuation

No, that's a relationship. Love is what you feel in your stomach

This. You can't love someone just based on looks alone.

I believe it is more likely pheromones at first scent and that the resultant physical attraction and experience are so strong, long lasting, and euphoric the couple drift into love that lasts.

My wife.



The first time she introduced herself, I took her hand and thought to myself, "Oh. So this is the woman I'm supposed to marry." It was as if a door opened up and all I had to do was step through it.

I'm not teling you that people are not feeling it, of course they do, but the "love" they feel is just an exit for their fears. You are falling in love for the person and the things he/she is. You cannot just fall in love when you see them, you can't feel a "special connection" when you look into their eyes. And I'd you feel it, it's fake. Of course they can't realize it, because that's a easy way for them, avoiding their problems. The problems can be quite much, starting from broken heart to problems into work. You are saying yourself "Cmon, dude, find someone who can make you a better person, the person you always wantwd to be" and of course you are doing it, but not the way you have to... you are just pretending to be in love with a person, and after a while you truly belive you love them, even you suffer if the don't love you back.
That's my opinion for the love from firs sight, I will be so happy to hear your opinion as well!

...I think I understand what you are saying...


I don't believe in love at first sight, either. As a matter of fact, I don't believe in the "love" feeling.

To explain. This getting "swept off your feet" or this "high feeling" or this "trance state" is not love. And I wonder if people fall more in love with those feelings as opposed to the person. I don't see that as love. If anything, I'm rather distrustful of that ecstatic "swept away" feeling. It almost reminds me of drugs.

I think real love takes a while to develop. Often times, that "high feeling" leaves you dry from what I hear. Then people go looking for that high from someone else. Just what I observed, it could be wrong.

Reading your post, it seems like you are talking about a ton of different things, though.
