From the article: Is Love at First Sight a Real Thing?
Now it's your turn to weigh in: does love at first sight really exist, or is it just something in fairy tales and pop songs?
Absolutely
- Married for 30 years and that marriage for both of us started at the very moment we saw each other. It does feel different then any other experience you will have. It is easy to understand why some would call it an attraction or lust, but in my opinion and experience when it happens you know it is some much more than that and you know it immediately. Having said this I believe that true love at first sight is extremely rare and I feel blessed to have experienced it and to still be with the one that initiated it. May you be equally blessed!

Not at All
- I'm in love with someone that doesn't know I love them. But I've only been in love with him for two years and I've known him for five. If love at first sight was real, it wouldn't have taken me that long to fall for him.

I Believe It
- I have experienced it myself so I know it is real. I thought this guy was cute but never got really close to see his face clearly or look into his eyes. Well one day I walked up and shook his hand I felt a spark. I think he felt it to because he looked up with the same expression as mine. When I looked into his eyes it was like we were the only two people alive.

It's a Probability Decision
- First I'll say it's an infatuation, considering the fact that you're just seeing the person, so you might imagine so many things. I will also attribute that to be a personal lust, cos seeing them may make you conclude you're in love with him or her already. Secondly, looking at it the other way round, it's possible cos according to my philosophy I think love has no clear definition. Let's forget the fact that people compare this with their relationship, love itself is a perceptional decision. So the subject love at first sight is 50/50 projection.

I was a Skeptic Before I Met Him
- Me and my boyfriend met in December 2010 at my friend's xmas party. When I first saw him it was a 'who is that' kinda moment. He is insanely hot so that may have had something to do with it, but I've seen insanely hot guys b4 (I am in high school) and I never felt as attracted to them as I did to my boyfriend. Anyways, by March 2011 we were going out and it's easy to say he is the best boyfriend I ever had. I was a skeptic about love at first sight until I met him. He is literally everything I ever wanted in a guy. No jokes, when I was like 12 I made a list of everything I wanted in a guy and he matches everything on the list. So whether it was just an amazing miracle or love at first sight, it was definitely something more then your average teenage crush.

It's Possible
- I've always been a sort of oddity. I am a hopeless romantic - that won't let a soul get close to me. Why this contradiction? Because of fear, and I've come to realise that. Anyway, when I first met Tyler, it was online... And he was only a friend at that time to me, it took six years before we met, though over time we had started talking a lot on the phone. When we met I had such a connection to him, and I pushed him away because of that underlining fear. Now that we're trying to re-connect, I realised that I loved him from our first conversation... So while it wasn't exactly 'sight' that I first loved him... I believe anything is possible if you open your heart, or perhaps when you meet the right one, your heart and soul know, and your mind prevents it...

I Think it Is..........
- I really didn't believe in love at first sight until I met a guy in d airport...I am 15 years old. I was on vacation with my mom and sister, and on reaching the airport, we found that the plane was 2 hours delayed....we had to wait in the airport....I met this guy......just entering the mosque.....I had fallen for him....he had his mom and sis with him too, he surely noticed me and had a feeling 4 me which I could understand from an eye contact we had, I could see the love in him...but I had to take a connection flight and missed him...the problem is that I don't know his name nor anything about him :( Still I cry at nights, thinking about him...........I do believe in love at first sight.....I want your advices on this, please....

I Don't Think So
- I don't think that love at first sight really happens because you really never hear about that happening every day. Maybe somewhere out there it does happen to people. But I believe in love and anything is possible.

Yes of Course
- When I first saw my boyfriend Zach I started loving him right away, and I'm happy with him.

Mutual Love At First Sight Experience
- It is 100% real and it was mutual! In fall of 2006, this happened to me. I was married and so was she (I found out later). I was sitting in my SUV in a bank parking lot and I was on the phone. I turned and saw a woman sitting in her white SUV next to me. We both immediately locked eyes and recognized each other from some other time and place. It was like we both looked at each other, smiled and said, "Hey, love. There you are! I have been waiting for you all of my life? Where have you been?" Time froze, we smiled and were filled with joy and happiness. I felt the warmth, joy and love from heaven shining down on us. I recognize her from dreams that I have had since I was a child. The experience really confirmed my belief in God and the after life. I was never a super religious person until that happened. It changed my life forever. Four or so years later, I still think of her and think about what could have been. I will always love her and she will always love me. We know that.

Maybe...
- At first, you can't always say that it is really LOVE! It can be only an attraction but not LOVE. Maybe he only got your attention... but sometimes you think that, "oh my god!!! Am I in love???" It's only on your own thinking so because of it you really thought that it was love...

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT IS DEFINITELY TRUE!
- I truly believe in my heart that love at first sight is real. It's that moment when you see that special someone, you feel like you were meant to be. Sometimes you try to deny it which is bad :( bcuz if you know that person is THE ONE then let them and you be the one for them && this to you ("jezus") it is real very real you might not think so because it hasn't happened to you but the thing is, if you are one of those fortunate enough to live it you will believe (: because it's true!!! Even though sometimes when you find that special someone you think you are going to be together forever. Also don't let that fool you because things can go wrong :( sadly but that doesn't mean it wasn't real. If your heart beats fast & for one minute you feel like you can't live without that person IT'S TRUE.....

Depends Hunnies :D
- When you first meet a person, you know never know who they are unless u talk to them. U may just completely dislike that person. After u get to know that person ur whole "view" changes, therefore, fall in love with that person u might have disliked in the beginning.

Yes :)
- My parents are a "love at first sight" couple. My dad walked into my grandparent's coffee shop (where my mom was working the register) and they made eye contact. He sat down, they talked, 6 months later they were married, and they have been happily married for the last 15 years.
