Poll: Love at first sight

[Dyp100]

It could exist, on the internet.
If people meet and chat on online dating, but never see each other then they could sort of experience love at first sight when they meet up.

This makes the most sense, but that really isn't "love at first sight".

But it can't be love, it doesn't work like that, it's actually just telling your brain she'd/he'd be a good mate to bone for the rest of your life/a small time.

I mean, some studies have shown people are more attracted to people that remind them of there parents...Creepy, I know. xD

I'd say no, love at first sight isn't possible. Sure, there could be a lot of attraction, however I strongly believe that real genuine love only comes through getting to know what someone is actually like personality-wise as well as what they look like.

Having met up with a load of you lot this weekend, I'd say that this probably wouldn't happen. People can be very different in real life, for both better and worse. That's just my thoughts though...

I sense that was aimed at someone...

Possibly, but not at you.

Was it me?
I bet it was me.

It's hard to be loud and annoying through text.
I do try, though.

I think you can fall for someone at first sight or at least first touch, I remember the moment I danced with this girl who was my friend and the moment I touched her hand I knew I fell for her (gay I know, stfu!) but to be blunt, I think people are just different. Some are hopeless romantics, others are just conventional and practical in their choice of partner.

I know...probably should have expected this but people were a hell of a lot more into comics/sci fi than I anticipated, which for me wasn't a good thing :S

OT, for me personally I'd never really know whether I was actually in love with them unless I was in an actual relationship with them. There was one girl who I think I was in love with, but we never went out and that's a big thing to say about someone unless you're sure.

Yeah, I believe in love at first sight. It is rare but possible and I can cross my fingers and hope.

It all depends on how you define love. My personal definition of the word (sort of, hard to draw a straight line) is about respect, friendship, willing to compromise/sacrifice, and so on. When you've tied a strong bond to a person and you cannot feel entirely happy without the other being happy too. I actually agree with the proverb "love is the condition in which the happiness of another is essential to your own."
Therefore, I do not believe in love at first sight. I believe people may experience some emotion which they find resemble love, but personally I think emotions toward a person you've barely met can be nothing but a tad shallow. I believe you have to truly know someone to love them.

Love, no. Lust, most definately, but to love someone, you have to know who they are, what they're like. Otherwise, I doubt it's love.

This. You need real connection to love someone. Sure, you can be attracted, and that may lead to something, but it won't be love at first sight. Love is to know the person, to love all his/her qualities, and enjoy being with his/her, but how can you do that when you don't even know him/her?

Love at first sight can only ever exsist for people who are extremely shallow or who have the ability to read someones personality by looking at them.

When you see someone you can get afew clues about them by clothes, body language, etc but effectively you know next to nothing about them. You can feel attracted to them physically if they are pretty but you cannot love them until you know them.

Love after 10 minutes i could understand, however love at first sight is reserved sololy for films, tv and books.
