    Do you believe in 'love at first sight'?

    Why or why not?

    Or do you at least believe in falling in love in a relatively short amount of time with someone?

    I really don't. Attraction of course, and I think some people misunderstand that for love.

    I don't.

    Falling in love in a short amount of time is possible though, specially if you have the time to talk to them and get to know them. I'm a believer that true love is not really about looks (that's called attraction, as Manda said) but you get in love with the person, and that's a combination of personality, how they act, how they are with you, and many other things.

    Kind of. Attraction and deep love tend to work in a duality. There's a passion that has to build over time for a relationship to be truly fulfilling, and while that can definitely happen it's not something that comes easily. On the other hand rushing into a relationship because on the surface they meet all your criteria can be equally as irresponsible. Attraction should be a signal to engage and investigate. It's normal to feel that way.

    I met my gf in the olympic games, where we worked as volunteers. I don't know if it was love at first sight, but I felt something different about her.

    Anyway, we took a year to assume a relationship.

    I hate to break it to you, but what people calls "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on science.

    Sure, why not? The definition of love itself is very subjective and fluid, so unless you can definitively nail down that meaning, some people will always answer yes to that question, others no. Not only is love fluid, but attraction is as well. I'm sure we've all at some point in our lives, whether consciously or subconsciously, had our perception of someone as a person altered by their appearance. Usually those perceptions change once we get to know them better, but that may not always be the case (confirmation bias--we acknowledge the things that confirm our initial perception and disregard the things that don't).

    My personality is such that I'm very sensitive to, well, my senses, and the line between infatuation and love can be very blurred at times. You could say that something is just an "extreme" case of infatuation, but at that point, what's the damn difference anyway?

    To be honest, I think love is a flimsy concept to begin with. There's more accurate words for all the varying degrees of attachment, but since society places the word "love" as the end-all be-all out of all of them, they don't really do us any good.
