Admin	Love At First Sight! Posted : 9 Dec, 2009 08:11 PM Guys...tell the truth. How many of you believe in Love At First Sight? And for those that do...what is it that may "trigger" that reaction. Is it a smile or a laugh or a look. Perhaps a certain walk or sound of her voice. Open up guys! I know there are many of you that believe in this phenomena. Also is it possible to get that "feeling" from a photograph? Ladies feel free to interject your comments and opinions. Peace Post Reply
GraceMae View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 9 Dec, 2009 09:59 PM Arch, since you invited the ladies, I'm responding!! I'm a sucker for love. Yes, love at first "whatever"... what makes the"whatever"? Well, it could be if we look at online activity, the profile text, or the profile pics. For me, the aluring part is reading a persons profile here, then seeing how that person responds back and forth to me personnally and publicly sharing in the forums! See, if you pay attention, some things you can't fake. A picture can get you to "look twice" at a person, but that doesn't do it alone, not if you're an intuitive kind of person (me...)... you see, and think "what if", but then I've got to go deeper. Now in person, well, that's a whole different story! I'll stop here since I'm the first to post back to ya! I'm sure the men have much more to express! *gracemae Post Reply
RamblinReck89 View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 9 Dec, 2009 11:11 PM I used to say no, and I still don't really believe in true love at first sight. That said, God tells people all kinds of things. I wouldn't put it past Him to tell someone that the person they just met is the person they're going to marry. I think the love still takes time to develop, but a "love at first sight" where the person knows that's the person they're gonna marry isn't that hard to believe. Post Reply
View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 9 Dec, 2009 11:39 PM Ms. Gra-ce-mae (is that French?), I am glad to know that you are a "sucker" for love. What a wonderful world this would be if all mankind was the same. As usual a most insightful post. That's going in my book! Mr. Reck...good to see you commenting again. We need some "young" blood on here. (Ole Cattle...cover your ears!). You are very astute (I feel) when you say that "...love takes time..." yet the first spark that sets that fire going is what I call "Love At First Sight". I truly believe that each and everyone of us has an Angel always with us. Some of us are "in tuned " more with this Angel and I believe it is this Angel that nudges us when that special someone is in front or near us. I also believe it is the same Angel that gives us premonitions of danger. Thanks to both of you. Peace Post Reply
View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 12:13 AM I won't say that it couldn't happen for me Arch but can say that it hasn't yet... I remember back years ago when I was oh...maybe 14 I was in the Sea Scouts at a Regatta competition based on much of the , Our crew was named after the boat we kept care of called the Sea Witch a WWII Navy 70 ft. AVR and there were about 10-12 of us boys. There were also quite a few young lady crews of ships taking part in this too. During this regatta every thing done was in military protocol, many skills including marching were part of the competition. One of the days we were getting ready to go march and one of the lady crews we were familiar with marched by calling a cadence of greeting to us (since we were special to them). As they went by there was one in whom I had a 'lil crush thing for, but she hardly acted as if I were alive. Well for the first time, and the last as I recall this young gal looked and held my gaze for what seemed like minutes but in reality was maybe 5 seconds and I nearly dropped to the ground, bitten by the love bug. My friends had a great laugh over this, and I had to fake tying my shoes while I caught my breath again. I can almost still remember the eyes that seemed to pierce right through to my heart. Haven't had that experience other than that one time... So as you might now guess brother, it's the eyes that'll knock me to my knees, or a swift kick to the shin...lol Post Reply
View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 06:06 AM Yeah....Jim! "That's what I'm talking About!" There is no logical explanation for that reaction. Fear will cause an adrenaline rush, but what causes a reaction like that from just "looking" into someone's EYES! In the service I would get (and still do) my "spider sense" going off warning me of potential danger. I believe with all my heart that it was my Guardian Angel (I had a whole squad back then) protecting me by warning me. This same Angel will also nudge us towards our "God Chosen Mate" -- hence the feeling people sometimes get. Thanks, Jim. Come on Guys and Gals! Peace Post Reply
david3by9 View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 08:33 AM I do believe there can be an initial attraction between two people, but to prove that love it takes a lifetime of common commitment that demonstrates that love. For you see if someone can fall in love, they can fall out of love. That means, if I can fall out of love, it is not a decision of my will but subject to my emotions, and intangibles. God's love is not like that, he loved us while we were yet sinners. So I say, those feelings are grand and romance in the atmosphere of new love is exciting, but ultimately LOVE takes time because it is shown in how we act, not in how we feel. blessings, David Post Reply
ladythumper View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 10:33 AM Hey Archie Great question. I'm a romantic very passionate kinda gal but don't believe in love at first sight. I'm a firm believer of lust at first sight since that has happened in my past. Now I have my hormones in check thanks to Jesus and that's never happened again. Praise Jesus! I'm a reality girl, very skeptical of this Internet dating so a photo, a voice over the phone several emails is not going to make me fall for you. The way my mind is thinking is this. This man has a nice photo posted looking youthful and like a stud but really he's hiding behind the curtain like the Wizard Of Ozz and isn't handsome and has a nasty personality to match. You got to show me ur genuine. That's why I'm from the Show Me state. The only way Im going to fall for a man is if Im spending a lot of time with him and see him in person face to face not hiding behind a web cam. I believe time will tell and God has to make it happen. Gbu Kimberly:-) Post Reply

View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 11:27 AM dear arch, hehe you are so right . we do need more young blood joinin us here.. us old ones specially me can be so concervative we stifle others sometimes.. not intendin to mind ya.. smilers.. i believe you can believe you feel love at first sight.. you can feel love for the exterior of the person at first sight yes.. but can you really feel a deep seeted love for the whole person at first.. i really dont see how ya can.. but the initial feelings may go along ways in making you actually take the time to get to know the whole person and then fall madly and deeply in love with the whole person down the line.. good question. ole cattle Post Reply
View Profile History	Love At First Sight! Posted : 10 Dec, 2009 11:56 AM I believe what men/women feel at first is nothing more then Infatuation...we can fall Into Infatuation, we can fall into lust, but we most truthfully GROW into love. Love develops out of relationship and caring and core personal character traits, not our instant impression or perception of another person. Infatuation can explode at any moment, but real love takes time. More than one wise person has advised not to declare love until a reasonable amount of time has passed.
