Do you believe in love at first sight? Why?
As for me, I don't... I don't think there is such thing as love at first sight? How can you possibly fall in love for someone who you don't personally know.. who you only laid eyes on once?
I admit, when I was a teenager, I always believed in love at first sight. Whenever I saw a cute guy next door, I thought I love him. I was just a teenager that time, so I guess it's acceptable. That time, I still don't know what love to opposite gender means. Maybe I was just taken by the love stories I read or movies I watched.
But then, as I grow up and mature, I begun to realize that there is no such thing as love at first sight. It's not possible.
It's not love... just a simple and plain attraction… maybe you were only attracted by his good looks… by his sweet smile… or his gentle moves. It’s not because you are attracted, it doesn't mean you love him.
Every time I overhear a teenager saying he love the guy he met at a party or some stories that goes like this, I smile to myself and thought “Just another teenager...”
Love does not develop instantly. It takes time to mature. Love is acceptance. Infatuation and attraction are not love. Thus, in my opinion there is no such thing as love at first sight :D

hi hye..
Love at first sight..hmm..Well nah, I don't believe at all.. It's not love, it's LUST.
But, hye...I am in dilemma now. Would you like to know why? Because of this picture LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Should I believe in love at first sight or not? hmm...
Watch it yourself and your opinion might change after viewing this picture.. ;)
take care and have a great time ;)
I agree 100%.
Finding someone attractive and desirable from a first look is one thing. Loving someone is another. Sometimes people get lucky and the two work out, so they claim it was love at first sight. Really it was just coincidence.
Kind of like the law and justice. They are two distinct things, but sometimes the practice of law does result in justice. (ha, ha, can you tell I am cynical about the law and lawyers?)
Yesterday in the news there was an article about a stepfather who is accused of abusing and subsequently killed his stepdaughter. The defense argued that the stepfather was an abusive man, nor capable of murder and presented as evidence a mug the girl had given him with the words, "World's Best Dad".
Sorry, strayed off topic a bit.
Sorry, that should have been:

hi hye..
CONGRATS FOR THE AWARD ...* clapping clapping * ;) .. Now, you gonna give me a party, ya.. :D.. take care and have a great time ;)
Have a look at my LOVE AND HATE MEME
My Love Hub
This is a complicated question, as is love.It happened to me.That's what I called The Power Of Love.However,love at first sight just doesn't mean you should be with them.
Hello Dann :D
I saw that photo... I thought you were serious, you just want me to laugh.. LOL.. Anyway, thanks for sharing... I think that not love... wait.. I will think for the right word... hehehe...
Hye
Hello Richard.
You really agree 100%. That's good, we are at the same page. You are right, even liking and loving are two different words with different meaning.
As for your question, if you are cynical about law and lawyers... not really. But sometimes, they are unjust sometimes... As for your story, a mug with a tag "World's Best dad" cannot be used as a proof.. anyone can buy that and give it to her dad without meaning what the tag was... just absurd, I think. Did he won?
Okie.. thanks for the clarification Richard,
The girl should have bought a mug with "World's Worse Dad"... What you think? I think that's not fair.
Hye
Thanks Dann,
Party? You want me yo throw a party? Come over at my house.. bring everyone, okie? You cover their travel expenses, and I'll worry about the foods. Hehehe.
See yah...
Hye
Hello Sweetipie,
Got your point... there is no such thing as love at first sight because love definitely develops over time... right?
Hye
I think that I do believe in it. It's not really love but a "connection." We are linked to many people in our lifetimes - and when we meet a person that we are "linked" to...Our intuition let's us know.
I have had "love at first sight" twice in my life. One was my ex (of 17 years) and the second was a beautiful Australian that I met in 2002.
Hmmm.....
I am the opposite of you-lol. In my early years, I absolutely did not believe in love at first sight.
Then, when I was 38, I met my now husband and absolutely knew the moment I met him we were meant to be. I wonder though was that love at first sight or just.....
Knowing at first sight...*S*
Either way...it worked!
Hello again Simple Mindz,
Thanks for sharing... you are right, it can be a connection, but not necessarily mean it's love, right?
Maybe it is better to say "Attraction at first sight" rather than "Love at first sight".. What do you think?
Hye
Hi bb9insider... welcome here.
It's great hearing from you and knowing we are opposite... I think it was attraction at first sight, and as time pass and as you know each other, it develops to love..
Hye :D
Love is sharing each other and togetherness in any conditions...
Hello M. Apip
Thanks for dropping by. Your opinion is short but it has meaning.. straightforward... thanks... Feel free to share yours here... See you again :D
Hye
Thanks for inviting me to check out your blog. This was a really interesting first read, and I agree completely - love is definitely a matter of something that develops over time as you get to know somebody well over time, a bond between you, rather than that mere initial visceral impulse of attraction that can strike you when first meeting someone you're attracted to. Nice thoughts. :)
Hello Benjamin. Thanks for sharing your opinion. I really appreciate it so much :D
Hope to hear more from you.. thanks for your visit :D
Hye
Hi Hye,
Well I believe it's a strong connection or bond you feel meeting someone. A feeling of being so comfortable with this person or that it seems you've known them longer. Feeling 'at home'.
Is it love? Maybe, but love has many forms and it takes other components to get to that deep level of complete love.
I wrote about Love myself and described the many different types of love.

Take care~
Hello AC,
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I will check it out for sure. Nice hearing from you again :D
Hye
hi hye...sometimes we cannot say we never believe in this or that until it happens to us...
i have many friends who married their boyfriend and they said it was their love at the first sigh..and so far i see them live happily together..!
but i still believe its up to an individual whether to believe it or not..:D
Thanks waliz... I think you have your point. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, right? Thanks for finally dropping by and sharing your opinion here :D Really appreciated :D
Hye
wow i feel the valentines spirit already
i do believe in love at first sight
i do expirience that
and theres nothing wrong about it
although once we say love at first sight you are just in love in the physical appearances
and it doesnt nessecarily mean that if you inlove with a person by having a first sight with her....you still not sure if she will bring back you the favor you are lucky if she/he inlove with you too
and if you want to stand with that feelings you must work for it to make the person attract to you as well
Hello Bluedreamer... Thanks for sharing your opinion... I think it's all depend on the person on how deep he understand what love means.. do you think so?
Hye
hey there hye~!!
i don't believe in love at first sight. in my case, i was attracted to my current boyfriend and we've been going steady for 6 years now. i love him to bits. but to say that i fell in love with him the firt moment i laid eyes on him would be a total lie. of course i was attracted, but it wasn't love. love came after all the happiness and sorrows we went through together..
i think people just like to romanticize LUST by calling it love at first sight. :)
Hello Ratu.. I do agree with your point of view.. we are at the same page. Great hearing from you again :D
Hye
I do not dare to declare publicly I am not believing in the first sight love because I haven't meet any. But I think I rather call it a plain attraction too.
Sorry for miss this post yesterday. My internet connection suddenly down. Thank God everything back to normal.
It's okay Bluecrystaldude... better late than never right. Glad I finally heard your point of view :D
Hye
Hye- I like bb9insider's word usage best - "knowing" at first sight...
That is intuition at it's best!
Thanks Simple Mindz
I think I would go with that too... Also, I more believe in "Attraction at first sight", not LOVE :D
