Do you believe in "love at first sight"?

[Jon Miller]

(I think one of my cousins fell for a penpal or something, but maybe yuo would argue that she wasn't really in love with him until they met)

one thing is that some people take the virtual world (be it chat, or MMOs, or whathave you) very seriously

they probably could, I can't

I have tried to do sex/flirt chat type stuff, it just doesn't do anything for me

Sure, but that doesn't seem to happen at the first sight.

I have looked at a girl, and had her look at me, and felt this huge connection and wanted her extremely bad

for months..

of course, I couldn't talk to her, but mumble

so it all came to naught..

mumbling is a lost art. It's sad, women don't appreciate a good mumbler.

[Jon Miller]

yeah...

so anyway, I don't in anyway which for or appreciate 'first sight' stuff

would much rather not tihnk about it, get to talking to them, then discover that I like them (generally first conversation, sometimes a bit later)

of course, it generally doesn't take too many conversations for me to screw up...

so that doesn't go anywhere either

just don't talk. Supposedly women like the strong silent type. . Or they just think you're a psychotic killer.

[Urban Ranger]

Com'on jon, just kiss her on the lips. She is likely to smack you, but it's better than mumbling

[Datajack Franit]

Yes. In the first place you call it bull****, but when it happens you just forget about everything else

is it possible to fall in love just from letters and photos?

personally i don't think so.. but what do you guys think?

I believe it's possible to fall in love with the mental image (I use image loosely- I'm not talking about visual appearance alone) of someone by letters/email etc. But when you finally meet them, you may find out things aren't quite as you pictured them.

I agree. I think you would pretty much fall in love with an idealization of who you think that person is...maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, maybe it's just a little off the mark...but its who you assume the person is. Hard to determine nowadays...but then again, we all live in a new age. *shrug*

OTOH love does exist. It's an evolutionary mechanism to strengthen bonds between individuals.

you're such an old romantic

In a literal sense, I don't. Lust at first sight? Certainly.

What about love at first conversation? I don't think that happens either, not real love. Infatuation, sure.

So how about it? How soon do you think one person can truly love someone else after meeting them? How soon do you think people can truly love each other? I honestly don't have any idea, just wondering what you folks think.

I believe in attraction (perhaps even love) at first sight and love at first conversation for sure! Why? Because it happened to me... Before that, I would probably have said no...

No. Just like love doesn't exist either in pure form no matter what you people start crying about. Of course, you lower the standards so you can say the word.. which ultimately is self defeat. You have no balls to true love.

[molly bloom]

I do. It worked out for us, anyway.

21 years later and still going strong.

[SpencerH]

I do too. Got married 5 mo after meeting (with 3 1/2 of those mo in different countries). 25 years later and still going strong.

Perhaps a better question is this:

Does love really exist?

It's a hormone called oxytocin.

BTW, 1st time my grandfather saw my grandmother, he told his Army buddy that was the girl he was gonna marry. He did.

I still remember the moment I first met the Bunnygrrl. I wasn't thunderstruck, but that cute weird chick definately made an impression on me.
