Love at first sight-too good to be true?

Okay, so I've got various posts about my not-quite relationships on here. All those can be scrapped now. Okay, so I bumped into a girl on myspace whom I've seen around several times(she works near my house, found her via a friend of mine thats a friend of hers' myspace and just sent a message to say hi, i've seen you around) Anyhow. We started talking quite a bit online and decided to meet up and hang out(in a group of about 6). So we hang out, and instantly hit it off-hard. I have fallen for this girl instantly, very odd cause its always been a slow falling in, fast falling out with me. And she has fallen for me equally. We've got so much in common. She's like the absolute 100% physical match to pefect I could ask for, and she's a funny, brilliant, kind,motivated girl. She's not married, has no kids, and isn't jailbait. All my past relationships have ended with some major hitch like that. I can't beleive theres not something majorly wrong with her, am I in a dream?

Nah dude, you're not dreaming, life just works out sometimes. Don't forget all about the other relationships you've had. Don't dwell on them by any means, but you do learn from every relationship, or experience for that matter, and it all makes you who you are. Just go with the flow and let things happen they way they happen.

Oh yeah, CONGRATULATIONS!

Love at first sight is not for real... it's an illusion. Lust at first sight is for real, but love takes time to grow. It doesn't get full-blown in just a second when you first meet someone.

I believe in attraction at first sight, in addition to lust at first sight, because people must pass each other's Physical Attractiveness Test (consciously or unconsciously) before anything else might arise.

Love at first sight is totally possible! I've been the almost guy before so it makes my heart well up with pride to say CONGRATS! Go for it man, just don't rush to fast.

My wife and I believe that we fell in love at first sight. Then again that was only 22 years ago this past Friday so it may still not work out.

Lust is when you experience the desire to have sexual relations with someone.

You are definately in love my friend. Ride it out and let us know how it goes. Don't stress about whether its 'real' or a 'dream' - when the endorphins, dopamine and serotonin run its not important the cause.

That's interesting. I'm not sure whether my experience bears that out.

With both of the women I'm currently in love with, my first time seeing each of them was like taking a sledgehammer between the eyes. I can honestly say that I've never felt quite like that meeting anyone other than those two.

By the way, on my way back to my dorm room with my buddy, after the first time I met lurkette, I laid claim to her. "The brunette's mine," I said.

"Fine," he replied. "I'll take the blonde."

Now: was that love or lust? Hard to say. Both of them are gorgeous, but there are more attractive women in the world. In fact, there were women literally right in the same room when I met each of them who some might say were more attractive (I wouldnt, but some might). But I didn't go BANG with the so-called "more attractive" ones. So what does that say?

Tell the truth, I have a... let's say "love-like" reaction every time I see an attractive woman walking down the street. I'd say I fall in "love" for a moment maybe a dozen times a day. There was a waitress at a restaurant I went to last night (she didn't serve us, dammit) about whom I immediately spun out a dozen fantasies about whisking her away to somewhere exotic and making passionate love to her. Then I left the restaurant, and haven't thought about her until just now.

I still can't get over the fact that she's worked less than 100 yards from where I live for the past 3 years, and I've never said more than 2 words at a time to her. Then once we do, its like taking a sledgehammer between the eyes as ratbastid said(thanks, couldn't put it any better).

Infatuation at first sight is possible: you see somebody who unconsciously reminds you of you or somebody like you -- by appearance, mannerisms, vocal cadence, scent, a combination; and if the other person sees the same thing in you, a pretty quick bond can be formed. Can the bond be permanent? Yeah, with a little work and if neither side is carrying too much baggage.

Happened to me. I married the girl. Total bliss!

Although we did have a 1 year engagement. I think it's good to make sure the love does last.

But remember, love is like roses. You have to nurture them, and even so there can be thorny times. But you keep nuturing, and you get true happiness and real beauty.

The guy who currently has the awesome Star Trek avatar speaks the truth, but that doesn't take anything away from the fact you've met someone with whom you hit it off very well Enjoy getting to know one another and who knows where it might lead

Its totally possible, happened with me and Dave....I dont hold with Don's explanation at all whatsoever. Almost 3 years later we are the most disgustingly happily married couple people know hehehe

Dave and I actually had the same friends, SINCE HIGH SCHOOL (20 years ago) we just didnt actually meet lol. Its funny when we talk about being at the same places (concerts, events etc) and we had to meet ONLINE hehehehe


congrats to you!!!

Wow, thats the same thing. We went to school together, turns out we have mutual friends, identical interests - but in the end we really 'met' online.
