What I mean is someone who you meet, let's say at work or other setting where you encounter the same people on a regular/constant basis. That person (female in my case) may be someone you don't notice at first, but over time, little things about them may become apparent, such as a physical attribute, character trait, etc.

Then BAM, one day, you are literally knocked off of your feet by them.

I do believe in "love at first sight", or lust, but anyone experience what I mentioned above?

Thanks for your input.

That's what I hear reasonable, mature, and smart people do and it's supposedly THE (successful) way to do it, but I wouldn't know anything about it...

^^ I think artsy is being sarcastic.

This has happened to me before. Usually there is at least some attraction initially that grows but not always.

I have a friend that I'm not attracted to, never was really, except for this one moment after we'd shared dinner and she turned to me and smiled as she was saying something, and the lighting was just right, and in that moment I was caught off guard.

I would say yes, it does exist. Sure, the people who are really handsome or gorgeous do get the first wave or interest from everyone around them. Inner qualities take time to discover or uncover. And also, as time passes, we realize that those "10's" aren't all they're cracked up to be for company.

As my mentor Dr. Lechter was fond of saying,

"We covet that which we see every day"...

Because of the piece of broccoli between her front teeth?

Nope, she just seemed really really happy (she is a happy person) and the sun brought out the red in her strawberry blond hair. I'm partial to redheads but blonds don't do much for me.
