Love at first sight?

---

Fate, soul mates, love at first sight? Anyone ever experience it, know it, believe in it?

nods very much so, and it's not like anything else in the world.

love at first sight? doesn't exist in my opinion. if you think you "love" someone the moment you see them. it's not "omg I love him so much I'd die for him" it's "wow he's hott, I love him" which isn't necessarily love. that's what I think. LUST, it's the human mindsetsoul mates I believe in, fate I believe in. love at first sight? in movies, sure.

I think you can definitely have an instant animal attraction to someone, that just sets them from everyone else, they don't have to be attractive, but the moment you hear their voice or see their face, its just it. You're sold, and you need to at least get to know them.And then you get married and move to Alaska.

lol, there is story there, I think...I've actually been going out with a great girl whom I'm not only physically attracted to (She has the most beautiful eyes...like volcanos covered with snow) we literally have everything in common (I'm scared for humanity, lol) and she even holds conversation VERY well.I'm a battle-hardend veteran; so I figured I'd never feel like this again...or actually, EVER.I never believed in this before; but now I'm a believer!

There is a story there, but every time I tell I end up feeling like running to the other side of the living room and jumping into his lap. (which can be very frustrating when he's conquering the terrans... I mean playing Planetside).I think when you see the person you're going to end up being with, you know it. There is that just... It's unexplainable if you've never felt it.

I rather think I have...

Yes, experienced it, and don't want to again, it nearly killed me

I'm not sure if I fully believe in love at first sight. However I believe you can feel a deep attraction to some one when you first see them, something that sets them apart from others etc. Just something that is different. For instance the first day I started a new school I saw my current boyfriend. Something about him just attracted me too him, I couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't just physical attraction, while he was my type, that wasn't why I found him fascinating. There were tons of other guys for me to look at, it was a whole new school, and some of the guys were pretty good looking. But I could not take my eyes off of him. He was all I thought about the rest of the day. I wanted to know his name and everything about him. It was such a different feeling for me, I had never felt it before. Normally I just looked at guys and would be like "damn they're hot" and move on. It went on for two months with me finding him extremely fascinating. I was very shy around him, could barely talk to him, our conversations were very short lol. Where as with every other person (my friend were mainly guys) I could have tons of conversations with. Then we started dating and yeah it's a year later.So in a way I believe you can feel a strong attraction to some one. However I don't think you can necessarily have a deep love for some one the first day you see them.

That's a toughie...I think, like others here that there is just this wild attraction that you can't explain, that leads to love. But, I am one of those goofs that believes love is a verb. There are other emotions, and actions that when they are bundled up, that makes the "love" that we describe as an emotion.

Love at first sight? No Lust at first sight? YesI remember the first time I ever saw Shannon. Was 14 and unloading horse feed when her and her mom pulled up for her couching lesion. ( I dk if it was her very first or not.. It was just the first time I had seen her ) I was pulling the feed out the bed of the truck and looked at who was getting out the car. She was .. is still.. So hot. She scared me to death. I couldn’t; stop looking at her and she smiled at me. And waved and more closer to the truck they got the more panicky I got. I was standing so close to the truck trying to hide it. She smiled at me and said hi to me when she walked by me. All I could do is freaking grin at her like the idiot I am. When they started talking to my mom I ran into the house and watched them from out my window. Lol that was our relation for a while me watching …..drooling. Over her from in my room until my older bro forced me to go talk to her. Every time I saw her I got a freaking boner…. Every time she saw me she smiled and said hi but I couldn’t talk to her. I hid from her. Then after he made me talk with her she started coming inside and talking to me b4 or and sometimes both b4 and after her coaching lesions with my mom. Then ryan started telling me she likes me and I needed to ask her out and pressuring me and well I broke down and did it. It just went from there. Hum the soul mate thing….. That’s a good question. I don’t believe in it tho. But it does seem wired to me that I met her when I was 14 and we broke up after I moved to the coast. and as soon as we moved back after Katrina the first thing we (me and Shannon) talked about was getting back together. Humm maybe there is something to this soul mate thing. It wasn’t love tho… it was her looks. Her green eyes and dark hair. I never used to think about fate tho. And the word love just freak me out. I’ve had too many people say they love me and not….. So love is just a stupid word don’t mean shit to me. Fate……….. I dk I wonder about that so much. Not the fate love kind way just fate.. I should be dead right now but for some reason ( fate maybe) I’m not. Maybe it’s not fate and it’s more like a curse tho……… I dk.

oh i wouldnt go so far as to say that you could look at someone and instantly know you want to spend the rest of your life with them, least i dont think i could. i think that to really know if its good and gonna work you have to try it, you cant just say "hell yea! your perfect, lets get hitched!"

Yeah I agree. You may find that it was love at first sight so to speak, but unless you have tried it out, there is no way to know. I love stories like Java's but they are so far and few between.

I love stories like mine too big grin

"I’ve had too many people say they love me and not….. So love is just a stupid word don’t mean shit to me."I think that people almost always mean it when they say it, that doesnt mean they mean it in a month, just means that they mean it then, people seem to think that once you love someone, you love them forever, not so, i loved my ex girlfriend, i love my current gf, i now dispise my ex gf's very name...

Kinda like one is loved until they give reason not to be loved in a sense.

love?love at first sight? does anyone fanthoms the bunch of bs we spew most of our adult life?

Yes. Sounds like someone's Jaded.

humans have a higher sense of self-counsciousness, and thus insecurity within themselves. we destroy or save ourselves. our choice. the simple concept of love is to fill that void with something, and to simply cover it, and ignore it. to be dependent on something else, and lie to ourselves in such a way that it sweeps us off our feet. by our own choice we fall in love.....and we never stop looking for love. it is always a void that can't be filled that is deep within our soul. within this impatientness and insecurity is when you say "i am strong", "i am free" , that you break free from the chains that hold you. it is when you funnel all that need to be accepted, be loved by someone, and care what other people say you stop being free, and things own your life. is this the definition of love?

Er... no... We don't choose who we love, nor do we fall in love to fill a void and be dependant on something else. You really have to accept yourself before you love someone. You're seriously saying love is the product of insecurity? When you fall in love, you share your life with someone else, neither of you is "dependant" on the other, but rather together and have someone whom you care about to spend all the little rain storms with. How does that relate into caring what people say at all...?
