Love at first sight - Is there such a thing? (48)
Love at first sight? Yes, it does exist. I fell in love with the most beautiful love of my life at the very first sight. He was a few weeks old homeless kitten at that time. Lived with us for 7 years… all this happened so long ago, but I still miss him.
nah, its lust at first sight

I'm sure it transfers to abandoned animals. And also to the animal kingdom for that matter.
I know what you mean. I miss my departed four legged friends really badly, and the passing years don't change that.

Bet you're gonna volunteer for the experimental group, aren't you?
I think that the answer depends upon definition of “first sight”. If it’s about the very first second you see someone, then I agree with the post above: it’s about lust only, as brain has just time enough to decide for or against reproduction. (And my impression is that a male brain would rather decide for, no matter what, no price too high, despite their previous experience and what Mammy said…)
Regarding the 10 essential virtues: you have to spend some time with the person before you’d know whether he’s got any of them. Perhaps except obvious physical beauty – that you see at once (and tend to ascribe the wearer all other pretty features as well).

Naa I think you could fancy someone like mad and then later start dating,fall in love..but its attraction initially not love..otherwise I'd be 'in love' with half the hot fit 28 year old gorgeous Greeks,I see on the streets/pubs/clubs!

"It's impossible to make those kind of judgments until you really know someone," Livingston said.
"There's certainly such thing as attraction at first sight, and in retrospect you (may) have been right that this was the person, but often those initial chemical surges betray us."
"We're automatically drawn to (those deemed beautiful) on an almost instinctual basis but they may not have those inner qualities that make for satisfying marriage," he said.
"This is why it's so important to know somebody."
In his new book, How to Love, Livingston explains the key to a long-lasting loving relationship is finding a person who possesses most of what he calls the 10 "essential virtues" - kindness, optimism, courage, loyalty, tolerance, flexibility, beauty, humour, honesty and intelligence.
He says a fulfilling relationship is achieved by picking the right partner in the first place, rather than learning to deal with differences.
So it seems it might be possible after all, for some of you out there to claim 'love at first sight'
Wondering if your own experiences back up the research.
