do you believe in love at first sight?

Personally I do not believe in love at first sight only because it is a proven fact when you first see someone if you guys stare at one another for more than 7 seconds it is lust or a desire to kill. I think this love at first sight thing is really naive. Love is such a broad term and is used incorrectly in many contexts. It could mean love of anything, love for anything, and love in anything. I think in general, love at first sight is hard to come by because people look straight to the positives and realize the negatives later on and therefore it really isn’t love at first sight. I believe that love at first sight is rare. It may sound cute: I get it. You see someone and instantly know that’s the one you’re supposed to be with for the rest of your life? You know that they’re the one you’re destined to be with? It’s not realistic, falling in love takes time. You fall in love with someone for whom they are, you cannot take one look at someone and leap up with joy thinking that you love that person, it’s kind of ignorant. It’s just not that simple.

I truly believe that love is a lot more than mere looks. And that’s what “love” at first “sight” is an initial physical attraction to someone. Sure, you can instantly look at someone and feel a connection, but at the end of the day, you still have to really get to know that person. If you think about it, those who experience “love at first sight” spend some time getting to know each other… they don’t just run off and get married. Whatever the case, I guess love is something that is defined differently by each individual.

Personally, I’d like to really get to know a person before claiming I’m in love with them. I mean, even people I thought I knew and loved, turned out to be someone completely different. As of now though, you can’t love someone off of one meeting. You have to know someone in order to love them. You have to know what they’re like, you have to know how they operate. What’s their passion and
