Love at first sight is an emotional condition in which someone feels a romantic attraction to a stranger the first time they encounter each other. This notion can be recognized by the other person or they may have no idea of the other’s presence. For example, if it is a crowded place one may immediately fall in love with another at the sight of appearance however, that other person has no idea the other is even in the room. Two people may experience this phenomenon at the same time by simply just making eye contact. This occurrence is mostly seen in movies and on television but the real question is “Can this truly happen in real life?”
Those who are optimistic believe that you could definitely fall in love with someone at first sight. To some, the moment you set your eyes on someone you immediately know if he/she is the one for you. While it is a quick connection, a fast glance at someone can leave you breathless with butterflies in your stomach. Another valid point in defending love at first sight is if everyone has a soul mate, then why should that soul mate not be recognized the moment you lay eyes on them. How can it not be love at first sight when your stomach begins to turn, your palms start to get sweaty, and your brain goes completely out of whack because you are so nervous?
In response to these convincing arguments, how can you really love someone without knowing their inner person? Is love based on looks alone with little regard to a person’s personality? While one may be overly attractive on the outside, their personality may not be as attractive on the inside. You cannot truly understand someone and what they are all about without speaking a word to them. Following the idea of love at first sight is like saying that physical attraction is primary and getting to know a person after that is secondary.
I do not believe in love at first sight. I think people become attracted to one another based on their looks but cannot truly be in love on a first encounter. It takes more than a conversation to know how well you get along with one another. The state of love is deep and profound. It is a feeling you begin to develop over time based on the chemistry of two people, the extent of enjoyment they bring one another, and the feelings they continue to develop for one another. While I do believe in attraction at first sight I do not believe two people can genuinely fall in love with one another at first encounter.
