Love at first sight may not be just for old romantics, according to scientists.  People decide what kind of relationship they want within minutes of meeting, a study in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships said.

So, is there such a thing as love at first sight?

How is it possible to feel so much for a stranger, a passerby?

No i don't. I believe in slowly getting to know someone

So do you feel that you could have a strong connection with someone after just having met them that you could then solidify once getting to know them better?

Well, sort of. You see, in a relationship, you need three things:
Commitment, Passion, and Intemacy.
now first off, what is Love at first site? Love between a mother and child, and love between a couple that have know each other for all of their lives. Both would put their lives on the line, and sell their blood to save their partner's life. I see this as love. If you just met a person, you may have passion, but not love. Than after you get to know them, it may develop and become love. This deep stuff I learned at school...

Sure! If the connection and chemistry is already there then why not get to know the person to confirm what you believe is already fact. My advice would be wait a whole year before jumping the gun, sometimes you could make life changing mistakes in areas of this sort.

yes i believe that if i just see some one and we have like a good connection like right away then i believe that love at first site is possible.

Have you experienced this yourself? If so, has it lasted?

It was more like lust at first sight, but I ended up loving him and then being addicted and it lasted almost ten years and the attraction is still there with both of us, but we are a toxic chemistry when mixed together right now. He's night I'm day. I'm actually still getting over what the _ _ _ _ did.

lust in first sight or like contymua said passion but not love

Love at first sight is purely physical. Maybe Something attracts you to them immediately, but that isn't love. You need to know someone to fall in love with them.

Lust at first sight is a little too cynical if you end up forming a relationship with them eventually.

Maybe Attraction at first sight is a better term. Or a "something special" or even a connection.
