No. I only catch feelings when I know who they are. I know that I find people immediately attractive, but that doesn’t mean that I love them.

I don’t believe in love at first sight because love doesn’t really exist. It’s just a chemical in your brain that causes you to be infatuated with someone. You can be attracted at first sight and maybe the chemical will release but there is no real love.

I think at first sight you can be attracted to someone but you can’t love someone without knowing them yet.

I don’t believe in love at first sight. I think that you can think think someone’s hot but you don’t know them. Personality is a big thing! That being said when it is a sibling that has just been born or as a parent if you have a child then yes I do believe in love at first sight, but as in a crush no.

Personally I think you need to know someone before you can claim to “love” them. I think it’s kinda wack when people get married after like 2 months of knowing each other. I believe you have to see all sides of that person before you really know them.

yeah I this it’s weird too that people get married so quickly. Like they don’t really know each other. I think you really need to know someone before you marry them.

I believe that at first sight you can be attracted to someone and may feel a connection with them but I don’t believe you can love them at first.

No I don’t believe in love at first sight. Love is deep feeling towards someone developed over a period of time. You have to understand and know them More than just after seeing them for the first time.

I could agree with that also because you could like someone when you see them but love is a deeper more complex feelings and you should know them before you love them.

I think love at first sight is more of a metaphorical term today, however I still believe it can exist. I’ve never experienced it obviously cause like I’m still “little”. I think it takes time to know what you’re really looking for to be able to just see someone and claim love at first sight.

I do not believe in love in first sight. You need to get to know them, and you learn to love them. Love at first sight is just physical attraction that doesn’t last.

I believe you can be attracted to someone at first sight, but not really love them. Love is a developing thing, that takes time to establish. You have to get to know someone in order to love them, which can’t happen at first sight in my book.

I believe that someone might know that they’ll fall in love but I don’t think they’re in love automatically from the start. It takes time and a lot of bonding for someone to fall in love.

Love at first sight is certainly a good thing when it comes to a relationship. However, I don't believe in it because what makes a relationship successful is a couples personality and values. These are only found through quality time.

I think that people may think that it is love at first but it could just be attraction. So I don’t necessarily think that love at first sight exists but it just you are attracted so you think you are.

I believe that love at first sight can happen. Still you need to know someone if you’re going to love them. But at times I’m sure people fall in love sometimes at first sight.

I believe that true love exists but my train of thought mostly tells me that love happens after you discover the personality of someone, not just after the sight of them. Love is something that has to develop, it doesn’t happen from sight. It’s a feeling.

You can be attracted to someone at first sight, but I don’t think maybe about love. When you love someone it should be more that just looks that you love about them. Love should also be about personality and more. So I believe that it would be very unique to fall in love at first sight.

I do believe in love at first sight. I don’t believe in it necessarily as a romantic relationship but a mother loves her child the second she sees them. Most romantic relationships though you need to get to know the person before you can love them.

No. I do not. What can I say that hasn’t been said before? You have to somewhat know that person. You can love someone you don’t know that well, and as you learn more about who they are, that love grows stronger. The spectrum of love is so big. I believe the best kind and the strongest kind of love is when you accept every part of a person.

I personally don’t believe in love at first sight. Love is such a strong emotion, & it takes time for an emotion to fully develop into something like love. I think you can like the appearance of somebody at first sight, but without knowing who they are as a person I don’t think loving them after one glance is possible.

I think our perception of love at first sight isn’t usually just attraction or infatuation. But if you get to know them you might fall in love. It takes time though. Usually people love based on the other’s personality so how do you know their personality if you never spend time with them?

I don’t believe in love at first sight but I think that there is attraction at first sight. This happens in attraction to other human beings and to other things. Seeing a person for the first time or talking to them might mean that you really like them and like what you see. You like the idea of love. You don’t have the actual feeling.

I don’t think that love at first sight exists. If you truly love someone you should love them for the person they are not for what they look like.

No. Love is something that is mutually grown from the seeds of care, nurtured with the water of sacrifice. It is not something that just appears. It requires both people to give something into it.
