Is it possible to love somebody at first sight? If not,wht do you think happens at first sight? Secondly,does anyone out there believe in seeking the face of God before finally choosing a marriage partner? Well,whatever anyone thinks and with whatever human effort put in place,I believe strongly that whoever ends up with me in marriage is a product of my prayer and supplications to God. Still searching!



I dont think you can love a stranger, not romantically anyway. So my answer would be no.

I believe the best thing to do is seek God first and people second.

Thank you for your Godly comment,I really appreciate it!

I am gonna be technical here. No, you can't fall in love at first sight. And you can pray for God to send you the person that HE has chosen for you to fall in love with. But that doesn't mean you will look upon them the first time you see them and go, "Wow! I am in love!". Sorry. Doesn't work that way.

You can be amazed by someone and love there look. But if the rest of the package aint there, then all you have is physical...which tends to be more lustful than anything. I'm not gonna go into the whole "I need my mind stimulated" ideology because I feel all of us do not wish to date someone who is dumber than a Nun at a Scientology convention. It's safe to say we all want someone we connect with. But guess what? I am a believer in God, but even I know that if I sit and just pray and hope and wish for something that it won't happen. You have to be active, and you have to take chances and you have to get to know someone.

Becoming interested at first sight is one thing. Spend several hours with that person and you can know a lot more about how you feel. You can, even by that point, fall in love with someone. But at the very first sight. I don't believe so.

yeah it could be posssible but i just don't believe in love at first sight! now you can have lust at first site over someone.. but love takes time even if that person has some bad ways or habits that you may not like but yet you still crazy about them then that's true love!!:smile:

IF love is just a feeling, I suppose you can feel it in an instant

if it is a feeling that is a product of a bond, that takes more than a moment to feel

for me, love is the latter, and I could not love someone upon site

for others, love is a 'feeling' and they can certainly feel it upon site,,,

Hummm each can believe what they want to until it happens to them then they want believe...

Been there done that and had it happen more then once....so yeah I'm a believer..

Was it lust well if that is all it was we were married less then 3 months later and it lasted 11 years...

Just because it does not last a life time does not mean it was not love!!!!bigsmile

But I think anytime we talk about true love,marital love should be one of such. And it has been said that true love endures and is sacrificial. Therefore I reason that whatever might be the disagreement between married couples,it shouldn't lead to their separation if it's actually true love in the first place. True love in marriage should be forever despite all odds,it doesnt't wear out,it's not a business contract. It should only take determination of either parties to make it work,though may not be easy but it must be able to overcome the challenges that could cause separation or divorce if it is indeed true love. Real love doesn't fade but always magnetic!


Hummm well by your opinion then there is only maybe one in a million that finds true love or the odds may be even higher.. Or maybe it does not exist at all...noway noway Very few stay together a life time..

There is some things that even true love can not endure....

well there's been a few that i thought was but that turned out to be just love the way they look at first sight, later after getting to know them better that changed. so until it happens to me then i would have to say no.

I thought it was love at first sight but like what has been mentioned it was lust at first sight. I was infatuated with her and after the infatuation subsided I found out that I didn't even like her. I think everlusting love would be nice to have.

I only believe in lust at first try. I don't believe love can be formed until you get to know the person.

Love at first sight for me can be interpreted as an intense physical attraction. Attracted to physical being but sets aside the inherent qualities of a person.

Let me quote a fun cliche " Do you believe in love at first sight? or should I walk by again?" laugh

I like to believe that some people have an inate gift to see a person's soul, aura, being. Love at first sight....yes it can be merely a physical attraction. But I also believe for some it is a cosmic and emotional connection that goes far beyond the physicality.

I agree you can't fall in love with a strange, but when you feel like you've known someone for a lifetime, they aren't really a stranger are they?

Who are any of really to say if it is possible or not for another? We don't know what this life has to bring for you.

Good luck and keep your eyes open (or closed)
