In the past, i've always fallen in "love" at first sight and than get to know them, has worked for me than..but now.. i want to find someone that i can get to know first and than maybe fall in love with?
Maybe I´m wrong, but I have experienced love at first sight when I was very very young, and we stayed together for over 25 years, yet I don´t think it really happens with older or middle-aged men and women.
We don´t have that freedom and carefree attitude to life and relationships that we had when were teenagers, or in our early twenties, and we aren´t as pretty or good looking enough to provoke a heart stopping reaction, which may or may not turn out to be love at first sight!

Well, we can try a 2nd. sight or even a 3r. sight!

I think it can happen at any age.
I fell in love at first sight with my late husband ( and he with me I believe ) when I was 43 and we had a wonderful life until he died.
When I was young I fell in love with my first husband after becoming friends. So you never know what is out there.

yes, I think so too..... I would go for the friendship first. Love lasts longer that way, I know, I've experienced it.
Love at first sight, nah, I don`t like that one .... Never worked for me.
Much prefer getting to be friends first.
This guy I met now ... absolutely perfect for me .. but... I`ve known him for 4 years, and never took any notice of him before, except for the fact that if he was at a function, I always had a dance partner!
I used to think he was ... actually ... quite .. well, ahem .... ugly? But, getting to know him, I now think he is the most handsomest man I have EVER seen! hahaaaaa ...... And a wonderful personality, a deep thinker, intelligent, kind, talented,trustworthy, etc etc etc .........
I cannot fall in love with someone I know. 'Falling in love' happens to me because I idealize someone I DON'T know well and when I really know him - I either start to love him or I don't. But that doesn't mean that I have to be in love to start a relationship. Sometimes it's enough if I like him.
mike69spain: What I would prefer? Easy - 100% fairytale style first-sight-love!
At 40+1 half your life is already past; why loose more time being logic and grown-up about everything, enough with such anyway, right?
No, if it was my choice I'd go for the big BANG anytime.
I completely agree with you.
I've read so many books about psychology and there are so many 'proper' thinking and 'proper' living and 'proper' pieces of advice and one day I got tired of all of that and realized: I just want to be happy. I don't care if I'm not 'proper' at all.
