Actually, I don't believe in love at first sight. Well, I mean, it has happened to me twice, but it wasn't love, it was just that I liked them a lot. Like this one day, I was on the first floor of the building I live in, and this boy comes out of the elevator. I never knew he lived here but as soon as he came out, I stared at him and he stared at me, then after a few seconds he just leaves. I've been thinking of him ever since, but never met him again.

although it happened to me (and it was a really long passion of mine) I can't believe in this ***t. I mean, hello, how can you be in love with a person if you don't know what's inside him. it's stupid XD

I am a hopeless romantic, but I don't believe love at first sight exists. I think that love is a deeply rooted emotion that takes time to develop. When you first meet someone there is that special something, its more along the lines of lust or passion than actual, solid love. When I met my current boy, I was pretty sure it was going to be a big deal. Within about 2 weeks of us dating, I was making plans in my head for forever. Turns out it's kind of working out that way. There's no real sure "moment" for me when I became "in love." It's just something that happens over time.

Hm...despite of the fact that I know that there is no LOVE at first sight, sometimes I really feel like I love somebody I've just seen for the first time, you know like I'm flying. I know that is not LOVE but maybe lust or infatuation but a part of me (and that's a very very persistant part which almost always kills the rational part) really believes that feeling of high is love.

Yeah I believe in love at first sight. Call me silly, it's whatever. Sometimes I just feel so connected to this one guy even though I hardly even know him and it's been that way since I first met him, maybe it's just a stupid over exaggerated crush that I need to get over really quick. Pray for me lol.

Pray for me lol. The same thing happened to me when I was in high school. I even had dreams about this guy, but the weird thing was, I didn't know anything about him! We never even spoke to each other, but I kept thinking something was there between us. We'd catch each other's eyes, but that was it. We never spoke to each other. I didn't even find him THAT attractive. I had a crush on someone else at the time, so it was even more of a mystery at the time. I suspect that in our cases, it could be infatuation (probably not the same as love at first sight). There was probably a quality about him that I admired or liked subconsciously I blame pheromones again. I've never gone far enough to say that it was love at first sight though. I think it was mostly the fact that we found it weird that we were always bumping into each other or catching eyes with each other. I was definitely infatuated by how mysterious he was and how this mysterious person mysteriously appeared where I always was.

Yeah I've always thought of what I had for him as infatuation. Oddly enough though, I use to be really close to him. We've drifted apart since my freshman year and now I hardly know him because he's almost an a**. He doesn't even talk to me, but I don't blame him I've pushed him away out of fear of rejection. But sometimes he gives me looks or when I'm alone with him he always says stuff like, 'So who are you talking too, oh I didn't know you were talking to ------, how come I didn't know that?' In like a really upset voice. Or if I'm at a party he will come over all innocent looking and show me that he still kept me as 'his favorite girl' on this phone and I put that in his phone freshman year. We're juniors. Like he is holding onto something that is old for some reason. Maybe that is why I am still so hung over him. But enough with my story. If what I'm feeling isn't 'love' then I seriously don't know what is. I have all the same symptoms for my love to wards family, just not the same exact feeling. Or in that case if love is even an actual 'thing'. I just can't figure out what this 'first glance' feeling for this guy is. It's weird and I wish I could get over it but for some reason I can't.

The whole "one person per year" thing makes me think of this Nada Surf song called "Popular" which is REALLY old, but anyway, it goes like this: Ok, I might be the only person here who remembers that song... from like 1996. Wow, I'm feeling really really old right now. o.o So anyway, I think that "love at first sight" is due to biological responses within our bodies and our brains. Attractive qualities about a person, etc. Maybe even pheromones (hey, guys have told me I smelled nice enough for me to believe it has something to do with it!). I think our brains are mechanically wired to find certain traits attractive in each other, and be drawn to prospective mates that way. Of COURSE it has to be that way, because if we didn't have that initial physical response to someone, we wouldn't be so inclined to get to know them and start a longer relationship with that person. I tend to think from a biological and evolutionary perspective. But then again, I DO tend to over-analyze everything. I mean, come on, I have this huge website about Sailor Moon of all things. If that's not obsessive over-analyzing, I just don't know what is! So I think it's totally normal that you like someone new every year! You're keeping your options open Ohmigoodness. I LOVE Nada Surf! I went to one of their concerts back in October. Ack! Sorry. Teenie moment. =0

What about the exact opposite? Do you think you can love someone without seeing them? I'm in love with my boyfriend who I've never actually met, although I've talked to him on the phone and we've been on webcam together. But my brother and one of my friends insists that there is no way I can know that I'm in love with him without meeting him, because apparantly you can't fully know someone without meeting them, even though my boyfriend and I have discussed pretty much every topic imaginable, so I know him and we love each other and the people who tell me I don't know make me mad -_-

How strange is for me this kind of love...no offence, TotallyUsagi, I respect your feeelings, but for me, a relationship of that kind would be impossible. I mean, I almost can't live without the people I love. We can be divided and such, and even for a long time, but after a while, we always manage to see each other in person. Because it's wonderful when your love survives even though you're distant and separated, but you have to meet him sooner or later. It's true that love is not only a physical thing, but it's very important to have an affinity both physical and psychological, if you know what I mean. That's my point of view.

oh no that's not what I meant, I need to have him here yes but I don't get to meet him for a couple more months, and everyone's telling me that I don't know that I love him and that I shouldn't meet him and that if I do meet him to treat it like a first date with someone I've never met before, and I don't want to do that because I love him so our relationship's deeper than the first date.

(my own experience )
