You're in a crowd of people and you scan the room, when all of a sudden, there they are. Your eyes are stolen by their beauty, your mind intrigued, and your body is firing. This is love at first sight. Without warning it hits, and your lured in beyond your control. The gravitational pull is so intense you lose all inhibitions and suddenly you can't think of anything but them.

The question I pose to you as readers is if love at first sight is behavior learned (psychological) or is a natural instinct (genetic)?


dunno

The initial thing - even if it;'s just a few seconds - comes STRAIGHT from the libido. If you can feel the butterflies and hear those 'bells' too - then this is something deeper. I have felt, what we're calling 'lust' many times. And I have been lucky to have felt 'love' once. It's very wonderful and as equally scary.

I'd call it "strong attraction at first sight." I don't see why anyone would label it "love" (which is obviously absurd). A precursor to love, perhaps. dunno wave hug
