I believe love doesn't come at first sight because they need to love you as well.

I don't believe so; love is structured from more than just physical attraction. I would say from my own personal experience that "the one that got away- ie actual love" usually is when their personality is perfectly in sync with yours- balancing strengths and weaknesses and just overall having good conversational strength (ie. when you go out, do you just sit there and stare at your phones or whatever it is, or do you sit there talking away and the time passes by and you don't even realise).
yep - i believe in it hands down. I've been in love twice in my life, and i was in a serious relationship with each of them.
i knew it the first time i met them. Its a feeling in my gut, like literally everything dropped away and they were the only person in the room even though i was surrounded by people. It really felt like the air was electric. The first time i was in a classroom (i was 15) and the second time at work (I was 24) . Didn't work out unfortunately (or fortunately) with either of them, but i haven't felt that way about anyone since and it still breaks my heart that it didn't work out with either of them. I really hope that i have that feeling again sometime. I've been in relationships with some great, good looking guys.. but i was never "in love" with them.
realistically... love at first sight is based off sexual/physical attraction and I don't believe that's real "love" lol
and from experience I also believe that falling in love fast just has to do with young love, infatuation and [possibly forcing things to work or happen because fantasy]
other than that I think love is a mixture, accumulation of everything: physical attraction, chemistry, life events shared with each other, obstacles that are overcame and time.
I suppose it depends on how you think of 'love'. If you define it as a sort of fully-fledged, longterm commitment and dedication to someone...I don't think that sort of feeling can stem from a first meeting. But the beginnings of it, sure! You can totally have a suspicion that someone is going to end up being really special, and plenty of people develop attraction (physical, obviously, but also psychological) quickly with the right person.
Yes! As a 99% aromatic - someone who doesn't have romantic attraction towards others - I pretty much went through my entire life not even developing a crush on someone until a few years ago when I met my future S/O. Just meeting him I felt feelings I never felt before, even the cheesy ones like butterflies in my stomach or blushing at everything he says. And feeling that way for the first time as an adult was quite an experience and it was obvious that he was incredibly special from day one.
I do to some extent. While I don't believe you can fall in love completely head over heels for someone at first sight; I do believe there can be a big enough spark for you to maintain healthy feelings towards someone or something. I have those sparks with puppies all the time!
Yes I really do, I do believe some souls are supposed to be together or intertwined beyond our understanding.
