plz can you tell me your views

[TheGreatYugi]

Love is definately real. Love at first sight is not, that's just called infatuation. Love grows slowly.

[sunj01]

Love is just a word 2 express wat u fell u cant blame love 4 anything because its just a word

[Zhongda]

Love (as in wifey, not as mother to child)
is one of the most usless things i have encountred.

love is a feeling u get after u become extra friendly with the oposite sex.
it'll mess up your plans for life, (if u have any) if u don't, then go for it!

it'll just cause extra thinking, diversion from your studies, worrying somtimes.
i believe a person should start looking for love after he reached all his primary goals.

[sunj01]

that is so dep

[Leen]

Love is real.

Love at first sight, no!!!!!! U dont even know that person, u only know him/her by his/her look. They should name it Lust at first sight. That should be better.

[rimpelcut]

you love something when you feel you need it, when you realize you don't need anything in life you start loving life and everything it contains.

[vj01]

love at first sight happens becuse you experience a connection between to people which show that love is real looking at someone then start having this bond drawing you closer and closer. once you see someone that you love with in you will bloosom

as any one ever experinced love at fist sight and tell me how you felt and then everyone will see that love at first sight is real

[poona]

Well, I can't really comment on this coz I have no love life or romantic relationship of any kind. I don't have time for romance, got the IGCSE coming up, and I've got my music and stuff, the load is heavy enough as it is (expect the music, i don't consider it a burden)

I don't really think its possible to have 'love' at first sight. Love is meant to be a kind of friendship with understanding and caring and all that jazz (and the erotic stuff *whistle*s), its much deeper than a simple emotion (thats what I've heard anyway).

[vj01]

has anyone ever been in love by just seeing someone for the first time

[NeoSlayer666]

has anyone ever been in love by just seeing someone for the first time
Yeah I sorta did. Of course I didn't just say "OMG I <3 u" right away, I did get to know her and she was and still is the coolest girl I have met in my life. Unfortunately before I mustered up enough courage to tell her how I felt she moved. Sucked, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have gone out with me anyways, it was enough just being around her tho (as ghey as that sounds). But yeah, I guess u can call that first site. Unfortunately I will agree with Haunter for the most part haha!

[princesstaco]

Hypothetical situation...

You meet this person whom immediately catches your fancy. You look them in the eye and think to yourself 'I'm going to end up with this person.' -because it just feels right. And then you get to know them much better and eventually you do end up together.

Maybe it's just infatuation at first, but if it all works out in the end, couldn't it just as easily be considered love at first sight?


I say we've all been corrupted by the media to assume love has to be X,Y, and Z. I say if you think you're in love, and you can honestly say five years down the line that you are still in love/were in love that you are/were in love!

I was going to say that. This topic has been done a billion times before though, so I won't elaborate... again.

love at first sight can happen. Love is not only dependant of the person, your love can go away after talking to that person. The love is mostly dependant of your own subconscious needs and secondly the environment you face.

I shouldnt call it love, you get attracted to someone at first sight but then the more you see of her/talk to her, the closer to love it gets.

[Negative-Ion]

do u belive love is real and love at frist sight or do u belive that love is just a figment of an emotion what is ur view can someone fall in love or is it just an illution that love is real. can someone just have feeling for someone by just looking at them or is it all a fake
plz can you tell me your views

Some researchers have found that men (not sure about women) when they are in love their body produces this hormone, dont remember the name. Anyway, this hormone is only present to men that are "in love" the most important thing of this study tho is the following, the ammount of this hormone went down after a year of being in love. So go figure, i dont know.

[vj01]

is that true then some people belive that it is impossbile to figure out love it is just they way you are, the say that science is the one thing that can not figure out love thats wat i have heard

[ThrawnReborn]

I think the most insidious lie told to people is that love is an emotion.

Love is not an emotion, love is a verb. Love acts-- it is not passive. When you love someone, you sacrifice your needs or even yourself for that person, because you see value in him/her. Love is not about you, love is about the giving of you.

[rimpelcut]

I shouldnt call it love, you get attracted to someone at first sight but then the more you see of her/talk to her, the closer to love it gets.

ok what is love? i'm atraccted to girls all the time but i'm not talking about that i'm talking about when you get "the feeling" when you fall in love, when you still love the person one year later. That feeling is based on what I told in my previous post.

@thrawnreborn, that is a good explanation. You can see it as the moment that you saw something great, whereever it may be. You gave yourself to it, your consciousness was sucked in.

[Silverdragon]

I rememeber back in highschool I saw a new girl walk into my class. She was not attractive from a social stand point, but as soon as I saw her I was infatuated. I dont belive this is "Love at first sight" but its somethign diffrent...i'de like to rememebr that as an instant infatuation. Its never happened to me again...granted not somthing like that happens all the time. My opinion on love at first sight is that there is no such animal. Maybe lust at fist sight, but not love. I'de like to belive I am in love with my girlfriend whom I am living with..but we have been in a relationship for a very, very long time.

[vj01]

love eat first sight can happen when looking at someone just at that point u know that u want to talk and be with them it is you get a feeling which shows that you are going to like them isnt that love at first sight the feeling you get when looking at someone and knowing that you want to be with them forever i think that is a feeling everyone has had

[Tejinashi]

To me, love is an emotional illusion

The so-called "love" is actually the automatic emotion we feel towards other human beings. This emotion keeps us together because we, as social beings, can't function or survive without one another.

As for the "romantic" love, it is also an illusion in a similar way to the other love I put above. It's an emotion we aquire during and after puberty that certainly helps with the overall survival of mankind, if you know what I mean...

Well, that's my theory, anyway... Believe it, or not, I don't rightly care

[TsunadeChic]

Hmmm..... It's a very difficult topic. Some search for it their whole lives. Best I've come up with is this quote someone told me once:

"Ignorant love is 'I love you cause I need you'. Mature love is 'I need you cause I love you."

[Superking]

I can only say from personal experience because I can say that I am not normal in the means of social works, and love is a social work, right? I have no actual experience with love, I have functioned without love. I can be alone forever and be fine, I probably will be alone, so I guess I'm pretty well off that I can stand being alone. However, I imagine things might be better if there was love, but I shouldn't hope for too much, being who I am, I should plan on a continued solitary life. I think I have nothing to offer, so I suppose I was meant to be alone. It may be ridiculous, but I am a bit scared of finding love. I imagine love is for those that diserve it though.

The Bitter Exams, those who are unworthy, will align love like this exam. Most do.
The initial physical attraction usually isn't part of love, that is usually just a preliminary examination (done in private thought, where the answers are already printed over the person and the examiner just checks his answere sheet), and most people have a media imprint of what is a passing grade. (I imagine I fail most preliminaries, just look at my picture at the left. hehe) The facade personality is the first examination (given extra credit points to the one who visibly scores higher on preliminaries between both participants), a sort of opportunity for cheating and faking an acceptable answer on examinee's part, hiding their flaws to the best their ability. The second exam is at risk of both participants as they are examiner and examinee in which this case they must risk stating interests that could end the whole thing or vastly improve it if mentioned, depending on mutual scores this decides whether or not examinations and company continues. The fourth exam can be failed+passed or failed+failed, and can is saved for after marriage out of fear. The time comes to break the self-protecting facade personality to the partner, and show them your flaws, and the final judgement begins. The result can be the rightful divorce, or a relationship incapable of trust, because if you ever have to take the fourth exam, you are unworthy.
The true form of love can only happen when you can show all that you are up front, flaws and all.

[TheDarkFirefly]

love is a chemical reaction inside of you, that makes you feel at easy. To put it simply it’s a drug.

love needs to be blind, so no.

[Superking]

You mean Endorphins? The chemical that eases pain and induces euphoria? Not to be confused with Endor-Fiends? The things that terrorize the ewoks?

[Danny Lilithborne]

what is love baby dont hurt me dont hurt me no more

:-/

[sonnie_skies]

love is real; connections are real. passionate love does and will fade.

love at first sight is soley an infatuation. you most definitely cannot control who you fall in love with...you can control how you handle it. getting over it is always tricky, too.

[The Space Cowboy]

Love in my opinion is first and foremost a conscious decision to put the welfare of another person ahead of your own good. I suppose it could be considered like a tree.

The decision to put another persons' good ahead of your own good is the root.

The stem is the practice of putting another person's good before your own.

The feelings of love, the romance and whatnot, are the leaves, fruit, and seeds. They fluctuate, sometimes flower, sometimes go away for a while, but they help give life and nurture the entire tree.

They can also start a new tree (Not in the sense that people make babies but in the sense that feelings of attraction can spark a loving relationship).

(Did I kill the thread?)

[ThrawnReborn]

I totally agree with Kickero. Most other people really have horrible ideas of what love is.

"Ignorant love is 'I love you cause I need you'. Mature love is 'I need you cause I love you."
No, no, no. Love is not about your needs. It's about the needs of the person you love. Love is a verb, not an emotion or a feeling. It is an action. You can love someone while being angry at them. If you love someone you make sacrifices for them. You might even die for them. The majority of the descriptions of love in this thread are too immature to even hope to touch the depths of the sort of love that would make you die for someone else.

[rimpelcut]

Hmmm..... It's a very difficult topic. Some search for it their whole lives. Best I've come up with is this quote someone told me once:

"Ignorant love is 'I love you cause I need you'. Mature love is 'I need you cause I love you."

this has nothing to do with getting love itself

[Tal Rasha]

I believe love is a very real thing. However, I do not believe in love at first sight. It's not falling in love with a person, it's falling in love with their looks.

I have a girlfriend right now, and I love her very much. It wasn't a "love at first sight" thing. We were friends, and we hung out a lot, and it just happened.... Love is caring for someone more than anyone or anything else. Love is not being happy unless they're happy. Love is feeling complete when you're with them, content at just lying with them in your arms....

That's what I believe

[iwakura]

I believe in love at first sight. it happens to me. I remenber taht one day I was outside of a friend's house and then I saw him, So dam cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? I have seen no proof of such. Did she not say "so dam cute", which in my opinion seems much more along the lines of infatuation.

In all honesty I have never seen a proof that romantic love does exist. Sure some people say that they "are in love", but considering that I have never experienced such a feeling, I have no way to confirm this emotion.

I can however say that the bond you have with your family (also love), is "real" to me, in a way. Although that may just be what I (and everyone else) have been indoctrinated to believe my entire life. Not out of bad will, but because parents should teach their children about love by today's standards.

I do not know, and in actuality it matters little, because if we was brought up to believe in it, it does "exist" to us for all practical purposes.

if you love our family you will do anything for them that is love and if you see someone you like you would do anything for them isnt that considered love so love is true

[Tal Rasha]

You notice what she said? "So damn cute"!!! She doesnt even know who the guy is. She just thinks she's hot. That's not love, thats lust. Thinking someone is good looking and loving them are entirely different.

[kuromoku]

love is something hard to explain

[Natsuhito]

I read an interesting news article, and supposedly, it's just caused by a hormone that slowly decrease towards a certain someone over time. if you will (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mymod/hdln/ro/sty/*http://story.news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051130/od_nm/love_molecule_dclink ,)
I personally think love at first sight is simply a form of wanting or lust for appearance, because you don't know the person yet, so you can't really love them. A lot of people I know who say love is fake have simply been burned by someone close, or haven't felt such affection for someone before. love is something hard to explain This is true, but it's supposed to be the greatest expersion of affection, though in this day and age it's lost some of that value.

[Tal Rasha]

I agree with the "lost some value" part, with the way most high school kids have 20 or 30 boy/girlfriends throughout high school. It's pathetic...

[Raistlin-sama]

Or perhaps it never had any value, except for giving animalistic sexual urges, a pretty and sugarcoated name?

[vj01]

Or perhaps it never had any value, except for giving animalistic sexual urges, a pretty and sugarcoated name?

it is not just any animalistic sexual urge it is something that is a felling and that it can not be explained it is a felling that you can not control it is not just a sexual urge it is something that shows u care about someone and that u will do anything for them

[Raistlin-sama]

it is not just any animalistic sexual urge it is something that is a felling and that it can not be explained it is a felling that you can not control it is not just a sexual urge it is something that shows u care about someone and that u will do anything for them

Can you prove to me that it is not just a sexual urge? It is not plausible that the feeling of "love" is simply a way for nature to ensure the survival of the species?

Could it not be that, this "love" is simply another way to describe sexual desire, or rather a way for the species to engage in such. Like some species of animals have a parring dance etc.?

I am not saying that it is necessarily such, but can you prove otherwise?

[cube66]

The only way for love to be "fake" would be if everyone who has claimed to have felt it was lying.

Love is an emotion, and therefore makes it just as "real" as joy, sadness, anxiety, fear, etc. It is not tangible, you cannot touch it.

I've felt love before, and I can tell you from my own experience, it's impossible to define. Remember, emotions existed long before words were invented. It's complicated to explain, but just know that the feelings conveyed by all the different words in the english language do not cover the entire, or even half, of the human emotional pallete.

There's more out there to experience than mere words can describe.

I do think love is real.But not for everyone.I think everyone has the ability to love...it just seems people are loosing sight of what it really means...what it feels like.Love at first sight...I dont think that can happen to everyone.Love at first sight is almost as rare as it is to feel true love anymore.Ive felt love at first sight...well...not exactly "sight" so no one can say that it was lust at first sight.I didnt know what he looked like when I first talked to him..and the same was for him.Truthfully..we met online.He lived in New York,I live in Pennsylvania.Now I say he "lived" in New York because he now lives with me...in fact he has been here for almost 4 months.We have been together since the begining of July.Of course we met and spent time together before he moved in..but..the first night I talked to him.We talked on the phone for at least 6 hours.It was as if we had known each other for years.And I remember,about an hour before we had to hang up...I realized I was feeling something I never expected to feel after just getting to know about someone.It was most definately love,he felt it as well,that same night.I knew the feeling well enough...I dont just fall in love with anyone..they have to be a rare find in my eyes...someone that can compliment me well...a person to finally make me feel complete.It hasent been easy,our relationship is no fairytale.But far from ever being a disaster.We have had many challenges,but managed to beat them together every time.Its only making us stronger so Ive learned to welcome the challenages.

All of it is worth it.Its funny when people ask me what love feels like...I can only think of one time.After I had a huge fight with my significent other,I felt so hopeless and it was one of those times were I felt so lost that I had to ask myself why I loved him.And it wasent the same voice saying "you shouldnt question these things.." Then after trying to think so hard about it...something cleared and I thought this to myself " I didnt realize it till now that Ive grown to not just love him..In order to really know love you have to love not only the person but accept and recognize the things you dont like about them,perhaps even hate...and to take the time to understand their faults...but love them regardless of those faults.There is also the feeling of loving everything that made them the person they are,were and will or could be.As long as you accept it all..you can grow to love it all if you truely care for that person."

I believe everyone is going to have their different opinions on love based on their experiences.Which is going to get them no where when it comes to answering whether love is real or not.You cant answer it until you have really felt it.Some people dont even start to feel real love(if they ever do..) after being with the person for years and years.Or they could be with a person for only a few weeks and have felt real love.It really depends on the person...not everyone is ment to feel true love in their lifetime.There was a point at which I couldnt even describe what love felt like...I only knew it was there.But when it comes to building a lasting relationship...the only way to keep it is to not make it last..but rather move it forward from stage to stage.Love seems to come in stages till their is nothing left to figure out.It makes it alot easier to figure out when looking at it from that point of veiw...

I hate to be nitpicking, but love is just a word. It is a word that describes an abstract idea, a certain emotion, but a word none the less. It's the same as saying that 7 is something in itself. It is not, but is simply a symbol describing the amount of seven.

but that means the word seven means something isnt it the word means a amount of something that is something un the less, that goes for love many people belive that it is a word but the important thing is wat the word imples which is love a bond and love between two people or family and friends etc.

I know that the feeling of love can stay the whole day even if you are not eachothers lovers. This tells me that you are simply glad that that thing exists. Now why do we like that thing so much? There is only affection. Your mind is driven by affection. When you see a strange new thing, you can be affected by it. Hypnotized. The reason that love makes you happy is because there is one thing that is really important and you are so very happy for it to exist. Once you can't have it or something you get anxious depressed whatever. So why do we get affected? there is a saying that love is a mirror of yourself. This means what you as a whole want is what made you fall in love. This can be a variety of things like a pretty girl combined with the fact that she is populair. Or just a pretty girl that has a certain flair to her. Or just an ugly girl that has a certain personality. I have felt in love 2 times with girls that stand out from the other girls and where also likable by the whole class. Coincidents?
Maybe the thing that you love is defined by what you have seen, what your subconscious has learned to be a treat and the things you lack as a person?
whatever hehehe

Thats not exactly what I was thinking..I wasnt talking about "things",I was talking about my boyfriend O_o

And it wouldnt make much sense if I loved him because he has what I lack.There are things that I hate about him and love about him,its a balence.I might have given the wrong idea when I said I love everything about him...then again its hard to explain.A better way to explain it..I may hate things that he says or does..but Ill respect the fact that its something he can or cannot change.A simple example..he is a bit lazy and tends to leave things all over the house,and its a pain in the ass to get him to help me clean our room.I hate having to remind him every single time,but I accept it and know that he will eventually get the hang of cleaning our room without me asking him all the time.And if that doesnt happen..Ill find another way to work it out.In other words, Im willing to compromise with his faults because I love him that much.

Love is just there. Love at first sight? Who knows. Is love a real emotion? Who knows. When you are in love whether it is at first sight or not your mind,heart,soul, and body can tell.

but that means the word seven means something isnt it the word means a amount of something that is something un the less, that goes for love many people belive that it is a word but the important thing is wat the word imples which is love a bond and love between two people or family and friends etc.

Sure the word means something, I was just saying that "love" is a word, since you said that it was more. A word can describe anything, and therefore this particular word can describe all the things that you mentioned. But that have nothing to do with the point of my post, which was that a word which describes something is not the thing it describes itself.

[Hazu]

I am incapable of love :wtf

[vj01]

I am incapable of love :wtf

no one is incapable of love it comes from with in a feeling we all share, you love ur family and friends right so you can not be incapable of love

[Hazu]

I dunno....I have never cared about anyone that way.......:oh

It feels like I can feel attracted to them or I can be thankful, I can like them.....but I cant love........

[yummysasuke]

Love is real. At least to me it is. But I don't believe love at first sight. It's just too early to know whether it's love or just a silly obsession. (though I know that it was love at first sight when I saw Sasuke ^^)

[vj01]

I dunno....I have never cared about anyone that way.......:oh

It feels like I can feel attracted to them or I can be thankful, I can like them.....but I cant love........

i think that does count as love, you feel something fro them right even if it is just a little bit of an emotion it is still something. there is always someone close to u someone you think that does not like you, but there is someone still there u just have to keep looking you will find someone to love and they will love u then u will see that you can love

Thats not exactly what I was thinking..I wasnt talking about "things",I was talking about my boyfriend O_o

And it wouldnt make much sense if I loved him because he has what I lack.There are things that I hate about him and love about him,its a balence.I might have given the wrong idea when I said I love everything about him...then again its hard to explain.A better way to explain it..I may hate things that he says or does..but Ill respect the fact that its something he can or cannot change.A simple example..he is a bit lazy and tends to leave things all over the house,and its a pain in the ass to get him to help me clean our room.I hate having to remind him every single time,but I accept it and know that he will eventually get the hang of cleaning our room without me asking him all the time.And if that doesnt happen..Ill find another way to work it out.In other words, Im willing to compromise with his faults because I love him that much.

Well actually I only replied to the part where you say that you have to feel love to understand it. The rest was just my explaination of love.

you cant tell if you are in love but when you are you willl know it a felling of love is one you cant expalin but when you fall in love you will know it and how it feels

[RockLee]

Love:

a slipperly slimey thing
turns out the lights when it comes
leaves you groping in the dark
a natural high
an unsafe high
when it leaves
it shatters what's left
and leaves a sense of wonderment
that it had ever been there.

That's as best as I can put it. That, and love is a blindfold, a rose colored, rose scented blindfold.

[PeachGummi]

man, I TOTALLY believe in love at first sight :P maybe that's y I'm still single, if I meet someone new and I don't feel anything right away I don't like em XD

[zionforsell]

Depends on a person's preference of what love is. To some, love is passion. To some, love is sacrifice. To some, love is commitment. There is no real definition of love. We can only base on the definition of love in general.

Love:

-A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
-A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

-Sexual passion.
-Sexual intercourse.
-A love affair.
-An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object.
-A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.
-An expression of one's affection: Send him my love.

-A strong predilection or enthusiasm: a love of language.
-The object of such an enthusiasm: The outdoors is her greatest love.

That is from the dictionary. But who made the dictionary? Human. So we need to look into ourself and find out. To someone, may be your level of love is just what they call "like". Sometimes, people see a couple yelling, hitting each other but they still say "They are just madly in love". What is it all about??? Well... it's up to you!

You can love someone even if you havent gone on a date,yet. I been there so yes....

i agree with the statement but there still is one thing you can be sure about is that love is a feeling that is in all of use and that love is a way to show how much you cre about the person you love even if it is a frend or a familky member

You can love someone even if you havent gone on a date,yet. I been there so yes....

i agree with you love at first sight is exactly like that you see someone and you get the feeling that you love them and that you would do anything for them love at first sight is real

so you are saying love is a pleasurable emotion that can give desire because of attachment to the sense and that that emotion comes from your subconscious computer that has defined with different factors that that person is your next move?

That's the opposite with me and I let a good one go. There was this guy at a store I rarely go to and we had about ten long seconds of deep staring--I felt like I was in love, but when I left that store... My heart wasn't warm anymore.

because i needed to know how people felt about love at first sight and also to know if it rally existed many of my friends belive it does not so i worte this thread to see how many people belived in love at first sight so i can tell everyone that there is such a thing

Well the conclusion is... yes. XD

Love in first sight is real.

nut still many people still belive that there is no suchthing as love at first sight and many people still belive that love does not exists so the answer still cant be yes or no

The answer is yes since some of the people said that they had love at first sight. I think by my own assumptions that it is very probable.

nop love is bout two person who really understand each other...great sex life..^^ well..willing to do anything for each other

[Leen]

I dont believe in love in first sight. The first thing when u see a person that u dont know is their look, not their personality. It should be called lust at first sight. No offense please but I am just stating my opinion.

nice opinion but it is true that you only see there looks but when you do dont you get a feeling deep inside that you know you want to spend time with them and that you already know them.

nop love is bout two person who really understand each other...great sex life..^^ well..willing to do anything for each other

but when you see them for the first time you know you want to be with them and love them

[poona]

Love is a friendship, not a prophecy. Love is developed with time and effort. Those who say two people are 'meant for each other' only say so because they look good together, or they have similarities in personality, but that is never the case. Only with commitment and 'the feeling' can true love be found.

With everything I've said from the above, you should know by now that I don't believe in love at first sight. Although I do admit this is something that I am a bit too young to understand, but this is what I've observed in relationships of others (I've never had a relationship or even a first date or even a first kiss, dayum...) None of them ever put any commitment into their relationship and think that as the Chinese saying goes '船到橋頭自然直' directly translated into 'when the boat reaches the bridge, it would naturally straighten.'. In other words 'if you were meant to be together things will work themselves out, you don't have to do anything for yourself.' I really don't think anyone but you can make your own relationship work out.

My opinion don't flame please, I know I don't have much right to give these kinds of statements but I honestly believe that love at first sight is untrue because I don't believe in the existence of destiny, therefore destined love can never possibly exist in my world.

[rimpelcut]

but still many peoplesaid that it was just a word and that it did not mean anything that made wonder if it was real i am still not sure

uuh. Yes it's a word for love, it's called love. When they say it's just a word they mean love is not special, it is formed by different states of mind or it's an emotion or it's hormones. But it is still love and still exists so love is real and people say that they had love at first sight so love at first sight exists.

[Blackvoice]

i beleive if you fall in love you can fall out of love as a result i would rather develope a relationship based on trust and understanding

[zionforsell]

I don't believe in love at first sight. Infatuation? Yes. Instant attraction? Yes. But that is not love. Love needs more than just a second. What good if you look at someone for 2 minutes, love them madly for only 3 days then move on??? (That kind of love exists in romance world. It is for artists who have to constantly seek for inspiration!) I believe love is when you not only love the good things, but accept the bad things, and love them for who they are.

[rimpelcut]

but when you fall in love and then later you notice that she is in fact ugly but the love made you blind isn't that the same real love you speak of?

i think there's love at first sight too. My best friend for example. She only saw that guy for one time. Although we all studied in a same secondary and same high school , she didn't even know that until she saw him. then she fell in love with that guy.

i've known him for a long time, but only after listening to her did i realise that he looked like Antonio Reyes. Now that she's head over heel in love with him.

But i think that love at first sight will end in no time if those lovers don't take it seriously.

to me i don't think that love at first sight ever happen to me

such as the types of bonds you share with them for example you can say i love you to anyone but the type of bond you share with each other shows how much you love someone, you can say love is love but that does not make it so there are things to love that no one can describe with such as love is just love

Is love blind? Nah I believe in the opposite...Love has many eyes lol. Its either you keep finding something you love about that person or you keep finding things you hate about that person...

that is a bit true the hate you share can bring 2 people to love each other same as finding things you love at the end they will drive u to a speical person that you love LOL

Love is an illusion. We just believe in it because we want to witness and experience great emotion.

the love you speak of is illusion. I believe love is interest from the heart. the heart only reveals itself on a certain moment. What it reveals also depends on the situation. Therefore loving is like looking in a mirror.

I believe love is real because I have experienced love. It is true that love is the greatest feeling in the world. All your other problems and goals suddenly seem so distant and all you wish for is a recognition of that one special person.

True, It is the greatest feeling in the world and nothing matters in the world but that person who you chose to love. But at the same time that feeling can make you do stupid things, for the sake of keeping love. Love for another can also control you and drive you crazy. Strange but I think I experienced love the most when I hit somebody and took hits for my woman...Its sad but in this world of envy and jealousy, you will have to fight for your woman, you have to fend off big jocks, or dealers but whoever it is, if you love someone, you will fight.

Love is just a word 2 express wat u fell u cant blame love 4 anything because its just a word

I think Delirium of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series best accompanies that:

"When you say words a lot they don't mean anything. Or maybe they don't mean anything anyway, and we just think they do."

Anyway, I believe in love. I think love is something that's real and possible, and that it can last. I'm a strange combination of an idealist/optimist and a pessimist, so what I'm not so sure about is fairy tale true love or blind love. When I see it happen, I'll make my decision.

Yup, Love needs some sacrifice too lol. A situation will arise and you must prove your worth to your woman. Someone messes with your baby you get mean...wait so I guess it could be blind because technically you dont know what you're doing, just for the sake of emotions.

[rimpelcut]

nah not necessarily emotions. emotions are a extention of the heart. The heart is your essence. When you are watching a sunset and your mind is still you become free. That is when your heart opens and a flow of creative thought brakes free.

No the outcome does not really matter..maybe she stays, maybe she wont...Me, I don't take that chance, I will get mean if somebody messes with my woman.

If you stood up for her in a virtuous way then its good even if you lose, but winning would make you look so much better lol!

lol

[Trias]

He says love at first sight is impossible, not love. Love is an emotion which totally becomes itself when you understand, care and like a person completely. Both in mind, spirit and body.

I just despise the idea of love at first sight. You only see a person's physical appereance, and love it. You don't know her/his personality, hobbies, likes, dislikes, etc. etc. But you still call it love. I don't think it's love if you can say you love a person with just seeing his/her appereance. I don't think it's love if you love the person's spirit only, either.

[Beren]

My theory of love, contains elements of Platonic Idealism and Relativism as well (altho the 2 might seem at odds). The platonic form of "True Love" is something that society throws around; imo, it is the spiritual love that one engages in (in my case through religion). Since it is a Form, all other loves that we humans feel are derived through the dilution of "True Love"; much of the romance that we see in movies and hear in stories cannot be termed "True Love"

Practically however, assuming that there is that chance of True Love with That Perfect Other, than the resources invested into finding that "perfect partner" outweighs the benefits; rather, we humans have a range of acceptance on important traits like intelligence, apperance, etc. Life reduces into a game of probablity to find the one person that will satisfy these categories enuff; this will probably be the person that one would call his/her "life partner"

Well that is my take...

Now that I think about it, love at first sight does exist, at least in some form.

What about a parent's love for a child? I bet most everyone here was loved by their parents from the moment they were born. No one needs to take the time to learn about their baby's personality, or their compatibility; most parents love their children unconditionally.

The love has to be unconditional... And I heard the first memory a child and the parents spend together never dies.

i agree with that stament as you can see parents love there children when they are born so why not with other people it can happen

[Kush P]

But it does happen, and it should happen all the time...But there are factors around you that influence you on what are you supposedly attracted to. Things happen, bad or good experiences arise and depending on how you feel, you give yourself limits and rules on who and what kind of person you should love...I like the whole mother and newborn example, I really believed thats where love comes from, the moment the mother holds her child love is taught, learned or simply created. I concluded that love is indeed a gift from women, since our mothers are the very first to show us love

i agree but still the fact remains that love at first can still happen

Hypothetical situation...

You meet this person whom immediately catches your fancy. You look them in the eye and think to yourself 'I'm going to end up with this person.' -because it just feels right. And then you get to know them much better and eventually you do end up together.

Ehhh... well that didn't exactly happen to me though. I did see someone who immediately caught my fancy. It did turn out well... in the start.... he ended up asking me out for about three times but after his third attempt he asked a younger girl out and forgot about me. Now, him and I are ignoring each other and all of his friends are making fun of me. I hate him... :mad

Love is magic. There is no fomular to it. You are looking for magic? You have it right there. It's love! It is when people start to act, it turns sour. But love is an emotion, a devotion, a commitment, watever. It is pure. No need to mesmerize it by words because there is no word for magic.

Love cannot be explained in pure words but an emotion. It's nature for to be in love because of our heart, sometimes love and inspiration can be as one that's why things get better when they have inspiration and love in there work. Love is pure but undefined for me... still I cannot really understand love but when I make poems or other works, I don't know, it's just as it is...

i agree with you as you said love and inspiration can be one which shows if you see some one you dont know and Immediately love them shows that the inspiration is that person which shows that love at first sight can happen lol

[kaizuki]

there is no such thing as love at first sight cuz u cant luv someone until u meet them and actually know them.however i do think love is real, i think love is when you completly trust and "worship" them and u know u cant be without them.

i think that love at first sight can be real it is true that you cant love someone without knowing them but what was the feeling that lead you to talk to her/him i belive that is love at first sight

The measure of love is when you love without measures.

In life there are very rare chances that you'll meet

the person you love who loves you in return.

So once you have it don't ever let go

the chance might never come your way again.:

We spend so much time looking for the right person to love when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.:amuse

True love is a product of one's volition; love at first sight is not love at all; falling in love isn't love as well--you could easily fall out of love if that's the case.
Love involves the acceptance of the total person. Find the arms that will hold you at your WEAKEST, eyes that will see you at your UGLIEST, and a heart that will love you at your WORST... once you find it, you've found true love.
And read I Corinthians 13:4-8, 13.

[blk sasuke]

well i actually think it depends on what type of person you are to start with really...erm...many factors can just fall into love...its all too complex!!!

i dont really agree with you, you said that falling in love is not love then what is it, for example u said falling in love is not love so that mean no one in the hold world has ever falled in love and that is not true. u also said that you need everything for example arms and eyes say you love someone who had one arm so that means they cant fall in love that is not true you just need your heart to fall in love once you have that love will never die

Love is somethign that grows slowly. You will give up alot for the person you love. Dedicate more time to the person. Care. Worry. You will be happy when she/he is laughing. Its sharing emotions with that person. Like in Naruto they teach us. When you find that special person. "You want to protect it". Refers to Love. Sakura and Sasuke is more of an infatuation thing for example .Sakura and Ino liked him for his looks.
Its more then looks. Its about personality. If you love someone just for looks, and they have a crappy personality... I always found thats bullshit. Personality and Looks, Balance Personality over Looks. Love will make your fears go away. Spending the time with the person you love, will truly make you happy. And it makes you forget about everything else in the world but that person.

vj01 and others. you will know when your in love. Jealously... takes over. Like today, i was with the girl I love. And such. And a guy came up to us and hugged her. You get a little jealous and pissed over such stupid little things...
Sometimes I think if its worth it or not... such worrying... just dont give up I tell myself :amuse Also when your away from this person... you get more depressed and sad... and you will get more stressed... and tired...

thats true when you see someone you love with someone else you get jealous but just be thankfull you have someone to love many people envy people who have someone to love so there in no point in getting jealous. love is worth it becuse it is better to be in love then not be in love same goes for friends

[tank!]

I don't think you can call 'love at first sight' true love, i would agree with many people who have already said that true love is something that grows and is meaningful, not just an infatuation.

I've had 'love at first sight' encounters, but it just turns out to be an infatuation that goes away after time. Mostly i find that its because i was attracted to them physically and not to their personality etc. Despite this i'm sure there are instances where infatuation or first sight develops into something more emaningful, but unless it does you can't really call it real love.

[petersellers]

the idea of love is the diefication of another person, and anytime someone becomes deified they lose control of the self. when you say you love a person you assume the responsibilty of knowing that person, if you know someone they become enslaved to you because you will be able to predict their every decision. this is unfortunate but completely contrary to love. so i guess what i'm saying is that love is contrary.

[petersellers]

does anyone here love freely? i by love freely i mean expect nothing in return? such a romantic notion do't you think?
