I dont really know...i dont believe you can actually fall in love with someone based solely the first look.

Well, I guess it's like anything else.

Thinking about it too much kills the buzz!laugh

I bet you it will hit you sooner or later! And you probably won't know it until you've fallen hard! :smile:

well like i said real love you will know it when it hits ya but it has to be with what the other person is feeling also. i think this time though around its harder to find that real love again not as easy as it was the first time but when it happens you an that person you are with will know it flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou

Yeah..i agree that there has to be some sort of attraction...but...the "Hello, I love you" thing just seems odd. Have any of you ever had someone tell you they loved you too soon? I have....and that was the end of that.

i need to get to know someone before i am able to invest that much into them. love at first sight really doesn't make any sense to me.

I believe that two spirits, of the same will, come together, to form one; that this depth can and does, influence a longing, a want that only the other can satisfy.

I believe in lust at first site. I thought then well maybe it is love at first feel but found that, too was lust. I then thought it must be love at first lick but then I found that my dog just licked my hand because of salt. I have found that love is a mutual agreement now. I pet him and he licks my hand. I can't prove it is love but we both get something out of it.

I am no scientist but from what I have read....


Infatuation...the first stage of falling in love. The attraction causes an explosion of neurochemicals very similar to adrenalin.

phenylethylamine - speeds up the flow of information between cells,
dopamine - makes us glow and feel good,
norepinephrine -stimulates the production of adrenalin,

Eyes sparkle, hearts beat faster, we feel energized, floating on air, can talk for hours on end ... our existence depends on the sight of the person who triggered the reaction to begin with ... we are addicted to the chemical rush.


vasopressin - the monogamy chemical ... a rich flow of the chemical - more monogomous


oxytoxin -the `cuddling ‘chemical. It promotes the need to be physically held or have close contact ... It can be released simply by a lover’s look, smell or even a fantasy.



Once the chemical c0cktail of infatuation has subsided another group of endorphin based chemicals is released to create a calmer, steady relationship ... no longer the heady, sweaty palmed existence of infatuation.


Romantic huh? But it does explain so much frustration in this 2D virtual format of 'dating'.

People need to "smell" right :wink:


No, I don't believe in 'love' at first sight.

There is too much evidence out there to support partner selection being quite an unconscious thing ... and when things don't work ... we often say there just wasn't any 'chemisty'. It is true...literally.


Lots of interesting reads out there ... Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert......Why We Love-The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love, Helen Fisher to name a couple.
