Do you believe in love at first sight?

True love at the first sight definitely not. But in love for sure. I believe in people who fall in love when they catch sight of beauty, no matter if women or men.

Just a word: charm. Charm has a great influence to people. More than you think!

That's lust. Love is when you don't care how they look but what they do, how they act, beauty shines from within.

Love is when you sip from the same cup of coffee

Lust but not love. Then, if you act on these feelings the love can start to slowly grow if everything's mutual. It's nice when you have an instant connection with someone.

No, but the other person definitely evokes some sort of feeling.

So the fall-in-love-feeling is nothing more than attraction? just a stimulus for subjective beauty?

In my opinion yes. I think it is impossible to love what you don't know. Speaking from experience :')

Lust, not love.

To the first question, I don't believe in love at first sight. There's lust and there's infatuation, but love isn't instantaneous - it takes a while to properly develop, and this is probably because falling in love with the wrong person would be very costly.

As for the second question, I do believe that (for a guy) physical attraction is a basic requirement before you can start to have (romantic) emotional feelings. Of all women, there is a subset of women whom I find attractive, and a subset of those I've developed romantic feelings for - but I've never felt anything remotely romantic towards someone I didn't find physically attractive.

The closest I think is when you get to know someone online, but as soon as you see their picture/see them in person, I've found that if I'm not physically attracted to them, all other feelings are immediately quashed.

Of course not, it vastly diminishes the meaning of the word love. Its ****ing insulting, frankly.

You have just destroyed the rest of my romantic imagination with your rational consideration. :frown:

Granted, it's biology which is questionable at best but still interesting.

I don't believe in the concept of "love at first sight" nope but I think if I don't think a guy is a man-candy :rofl:

, I'm not going to bother with what his personality is like, and whether or not he likes eating steak as much as I do :biggrin:

My girlfriend liked me before I even met her. But 'love' is a difficult concept, not very well understood.

I believe in infatuation at first sight... I don't believe in real love at first sight. To believe in love at first sight would be to have some kind of belief in a world with 'soulmate' situations, and that's just silly. P: You could think of the 'seed' of love being planted upon a first sighting perhaps, but real, genuine love, no.
