nope..there isn't such a thing. love is a totally different thing. But people can certainly like people at first sight. And that's exactly why there is a saying 'you don't get a second chance to make the first impression'cool

Your story reminds me of another article on "love at first sight". It will be interesting for the reporter to do a longitudinal follow up with this couple.

To be serious for once there is definitely Love at first sight
And this was "first" exemplified by our dear Jesus Christ

There is really Love at first Sight
But that was years ago when morality was right

Yes, there is definitely Love at First sight
But that was back in the days when legal virgins were tightapplauseapplauseapplause

ellibab: You don't really believe that do you? There are alot of spouses who stay come on get real!

Fortunately Love at First Sight is still happening
Probably dependent on the country we live in

Not in California where loving comes with sinning
Watch my face how much I am grinning laugh laugh laugh

sharkmeat: i think it could happen but it would be as rare as a person having what it would take to make a relationship work long term.

Thank you Miss Venere
It is probably the first time in my life I have gotten a cheer

Such commendations are rare
Perhaps you are a good angel that has fallen from heaven down here

Please remind me to send you a personal application to commence a love affair
Assuming there is no stallion attached to the mare!heart beating

venere08: Very clever and insightful, Potarick

sweetlyscented1: Hey Venere, Well yes I had that with my last partner we both did at the first glace across the road it was WOOOOOAAHHHHHHH so over powering... Love at first sight?? attraction Definately...later I looked on it as we fell in love at first sight, but sadly it only lasted 4 years despite the fact that we loved so deeply and passionatly, other issues caused problem's and it ended......so yes you can fall for someone instantly but unfortunately it dosent mean it will last, and can make for a devistating break up as I experianced... I beleive the research to be true and correct in most areas.....

I think its probably best to not expect the love of our life to be that instantly but for it to develop over time with respect and getting to truly know each other, THIS I think will make for a much longer lasting and true connection...

Still waiting and Im afraid once you have experianced the "love at first sight" situation it is VERY VERY hard to not want or expect it again...so we keep searching but it may never happen like that again..but that dosent mean we wont find our true love, it just might take a little longer to realise THEY are in fact the one....

JMO

Happy New Year Everyone



handshake With you all the way Debs, Happy New Year.

A first time cheer, potarick, Oh, dear!
Go change your fiends, you hear?conversing

Many thanks dear Sir for your kind offer
But more emails from afar I will not suffer grin

So new stallion or no, this mare remains free
Until true love indeed does surprise me.(And if not, ah, screw it! laugh )

venere08: "...forget it, says a psychiatrist and relationship expert who insists the myth of love at first sight is not only untrue but is to blame for many unhappy relationships and failed marriages.

"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.



Only with you hon...........with everyone else I just fell in lust

Always mate laugh cheers

When are you organising this meet in Glasgow at the end of April Pat. From my experience the sooner a sign up thread goes up the more interest it will generate. All you need is a venue and I reckon there would be a lot of interest in it.

Happy New Year to you and yours cheers

I find the first impression being correct most of the time. I say in my mind, I am going to stay open and not make up my mind but after few months/years, I arrive to the same conclusion as my first impression.
Love at first sight may be a fantasy but trust your first impression.
