People are immediately capable of deciding whether or not they think somebody is attractive, and love cannot happen at first sight without first being attractive. People may fall in love at first sight if a new person they meet looks similar to people they once loved before, or to people that had positive impacts in their lives. In addition to these points, there is another really important one, which is that falling in love at first sight seems to benefit only the person getting infatuated; if you are interested in someone, and they are expecting only to love you at first sight, and if they do not immediately view you as being that person, that means that there is no chance for any further development in the romance, even though you are interested, because they already cut you off their radar because they did not fall in love with you at first sight. You are only trying to meet somebody and see where things go, even though you are hoping for a possible development in love.
If you just like how someone loves, walks, or talks, the chances of a relationship succeeding are slim. Spending time getting to know someone can be wonderful, and you may be willing to nurture this connection even more in order to give love a chance. Talking about the first time you met your partner, and what both of you felt at that moment, may actually help you to feel more connected and in love.
While being loved by another feels great, we each really only get to experience the feelings we have of loving that other person, and not the feelings that the other person has of us. Infatuation is a powerful emotion which may cause individuals to investigate if love may exist between them.
The degree to which those who are in relationships report feeling closeness, commitment, and passion for their partners greatly surpasses reports of these emotions from those who have experienced first-sight love. While instant attraction certainly leads to a passionate love, it is not predictive of relationship success. At the same time, actual examples of immediate attraction being so powerful that we would refer to them as love seem exceedingly rare.
It is a type of love that involves being also drawn to and loving someones intelligence, character, values, personality, and skills, all of which cannot be downloaded instantaneously when seeing someone. Love is all about the feeling of joy and contentment in life, and there is nothing quite like that, if someone you are seeing is capable of giving it to you. Love at first sight is indeed experienced by humans, but not so much as love or passion, but rather as strong attraction or pull, which makes one especially open to the possibilities of relationship.
According to a single survey, approximately 60% of men and half of women believe in love at first sight; at least this many, I would bet, have experienced that moment where you meet someone new and you sense friendship blossoming in your gut – you simply understand, instinctively, that there is an imminent connection. Call it the spark, call it the chemistry, call it first-sight friendship; whatever it is, it can happen in a few short seconds, the time it takes us to form our first impression of someone (if it is at all – one study suggests that we form a judgement only one-tenth of a second after seeing the face). Whenever I have analysed the process through which I came to feel strongly about someone – feelings that either did or might result in romantic love – I noticed the sequence always starts with an unexplained burst of unexplained chemistry. It is certainly possible to be intrigued by someone the first time you meet them, and it is even possible to become entranced with them because of their looks, or some other invisible quality they possess.
