Personally, I always thought no way. Lust maybe, but love, not a chance. How can you love someone you don’t know? How do you know their heart, their beliefs, even their ability to love you back and not break the trust you put in someone when you fall in love? How is that possible? I mean, what if they’re an addict or a child molester, or even a serial killer? I’ve read of real couples who supposedly fell in love at first sight, and have been married 60 years, and then I’ve talked to couples who made the same claims, but that so called “true love” fizzled out over just a couple of years. So it made me wonder, is love at first sight even possible?
Then I ran across this article, and it got me to thinking again…sort of brought the issue back to the forefront of my mind. It suggests that love at first sight just might be possible. And while I’ll never pretend to know the intricacies of the human brain and drives our actions, I’ve got to admit they make some good points in favor of the possibility.
So it made me think. Do you believe in love at first sight? Check out this article and let me know, I’d love to hear your feedback!

I created this blog for you, and I would love it if you would take a few minutes to give me your thoughts and feedback. Just enter them below under "Leave a Reply". Thank you so much.
Hi– I almost didn’t respond to this. But after a few seconds of thought, I decided that people need to hear this: Yes, there is a such thing as love at first sight. And this is why I say so…
First I want to say, just because something exists, doesn’t mean you’ve found it.
That is to say, just because there’s a such thing as a diamond, doesn’t mean that
Cubic Zirconia in your hand is IT. I think the reason you get such vastly different
results from people who say it was “love at first sight”, is because some people
actually had it, and some THINK they did.
Love at first sight isn’t as magical as it’s portrayed; Nor is it simply animal
instincts and hormones: It requires each person to have a level of insight and
maturity to see what’s the core of another person, in a short amount of time.
A police officer, once he’s developed the skill, can look at someone and tell they’re lying. A doctor can see the palor of someone’s skin, and know how long
they’ve been sick. A mother can tell upon looking, when her child is hiding something. These are skills and instincts combined.
I believe “love at first sight” is, too.
I’m really good with reading people: I notice vocal inflections, eye shifts, tone, hundreds of different signals of body language. I usally know within 20 mins
not only if I like someone or not, but whether I can trust them, how close we’re going to be, and whether or not I love them. I’ve been homeless, I’ve been molested, I’ve been kidnapped– My life has afforded me the skill and talent to
read people. And I’ve never been wrong. I could be, someday. But so far…
Love at first sight, in my mind, is all of those skills it took me years to learn,
wrapped up inside someone who doesn’t recognize that they have it. To them, it’s
a subconscious decidsion, and they couldn’t even explain it to you if they tried.
They don’t HOW or WHY they know– They just do. And there are some who are mistaken: They recognize something that they want in another person, and are
fooled by their passion into thinking it’s love.
I’m marrying my “love at first sight” guy this August, 2011. We met in 2005. I knew it then, and I know it now, and the world will know it, when we say ‘I Do’.
