 Is it possible to love or be in love with a stranger (someone you haven't talked to but every time you see that person, you just know that you already love him/her and it's not infatuation)? you have to ignore the staples in the middle of the page!! Irony |

I havent read all the replies, so sorry if im repeating!
No, i dont think u can be in love with a stranger, only attracted, or in love with the idea of love. A true test of loving someone means knowing all their flaws and still feeling same, if u dont know their flaws, how do u know u love them? |

I believe some people can know all someone's flaws and still be attracted, or in love with the idea of love, or the relationship. All the same, like you said, that's not genuine love. |

Bonded by trauma or circumstance but not in love. Excellent point. I'd forgotten about this possibility. |

Then that is delusion imo. |

lust would be the word. Not love, What if the person turned out to be a loser with no job and on drugs etc etc. Would u still love them after finding that out ?...more than likely you would pass on that. Hi maintance conditional love huh? So i suppose love is a product of social adjustedment for your benefit....thats called self love. Some people are not very intuitive about others these may not experience love at first site. Also with the cinderella complex it may be hard to find anything tolerable in general. |

Also for those not aware many factors play into "love" you are just in denial by idealiszation of the concept. Long term couples have been found to have similar ratios of facial features, pheromones, and other chacaterisics that are precicved on a subconcious level, producing desire and a bias when observing that person, as in not seeing the negative aspects. Love has everything to do with chemistry and neurology not your idealisms. Ive heard peopel say what its not, well you can exlude the concept of love at first sight simply by defining love. It is a feeling, not a evaluation, or a social standing, or access to resources, or a steping stone for your benefit. Similar behavioral patterns are found in long term couples as well, this may indicate similar neuro chemistry. Love at first sight is completely possible, however if you idealize your defintions and think of relationships as standards, which love seems > long term in reagrds to intensity. Its a biological reaction, not a set of values you scrutinize for whatever reason. I will say love is the subjective experience of intense desire and idealization of the individual of interest. This effect fades over time. Love at first sight is farmore common than love at last sight.

Uh... no. Not possible in the least. Heck- the chances of it being possible with someone you know is doubtful at best. |

I dont think that it is so much as the "love"
concept that stigmatizes our minds which makes all of us think we are or could but more the wanting to embrace the aura that they exude, stirring these emotions the feeling of longing to be accepted by someone to experience the hurt the joys the delicasies of it all, knowing you had a "chance" for a bleak moment in time with .. unparralled epiphamy |

I believe the term you are looking for is called lust.... True love only comes with time because it is the only thing that can withstand the test of time |

lust at first sight.---> build on it ----> lasting relationship = love.
so love at first sight could exist. I guess I have to retract my previous statement. Maybe we should put it "budding" love at first sight. How you nurture it is entirely up to both o ya. |

This effect fades over time. Love at first sight is farmore common than love at last sight.  however-i dont agree completely that idealism or it being just a feeling has nothing to add to the concept of love. they are traits we look for in a partner,aswell as physical features and hormonal response. since we were able to start discovering who we were and what we want-said 'evaluations and social standing' started being discovered,defined and programed into our long-term matchmaking radar. that, to a point of subconsciously being common foundations-like computers have. the next step-more specific charecturistics-helps us weed out prospects-or we'd 'love' or be attracted to everyone. we are each in ourselves miraculously different! wow! but yes-loving someone and being in love are two different depth of the heart.
