i find that so silly. love at first sight. How can you love someone when you dont even know them???? whats there to love about them, they havent even opened their mouth to talk yet and already you love them...... thats not logical. You can find someone attractive at first sight sure, but love them. no no no. i dont believe in that flighty stuff. I think love is hard work and its a tough word. Love means commitment, sacrifice, work, its not fluttery feelings.. or emotional highs. I think people get confussed with infatuation and love.

If you believe that (romantic) love is a pure and beautiful thing, then it's impossible to believe in love at first sight. This claim rests on two assumptions:
1)Blind people are denied love at first sight.
2)If love is good and pure, it won't immediately exclude someone simply because they are handicapped.
If you accept these two statements, Reason demands that one of the following suppositions is true:
A. Love is beautiful and pure, and is thus available to everyone, despite their handicaps. The discriminatory nature of love at first sight thus renders it an oxymoron.
B. Love is not beautiful and pure; it's a primal Darwinian instinct, and thus excludes people with handicaps. Being a capricious, arbitrary emotion, love is possible at first sight.
Personally, I'm not sure which of those two views I believe in.

I do believe in love at first sight. However, I don't think it's so much that you're instantly in love the moment that you meet. I think it's more like a premonition that you WILL fall in love with that person. I also think it's easy to confuse love at first sight with lust at first sight. I know some people who say they knew their boyfriend/girlfriend was "the one" the moment that they met, and then 6 months later they've broken up. But I've also known older people who have been married for 50 years who say that when they first met, they knew that was who they would marry.
