Random Meal - Love at First Sight: Is it possible?

by echandr on Monday, March 9th, 2009 | Love, Love Story

Many people told many stories about LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, but I’m personally not a strong believer of this fantastic phenomenon. How could you possibly love someone just with a glance of eyes? You probably could like her/him, but definitely not love…that’s what I thought…

The other day, I bumped into a friend and he started telling me about how he has fallen in love with a gal just thru a quick meal. Fast and thundering…….

He started the story with the fact that in his entire life of 35 years, he only fell for 3 gals and falls for this recent one..at very first sight. He said he first fell for a gal in his senior high years, but never went any further for he had no guts back then. The sparks remained a while but eventually lit-off….and life moved on….

He then again fell in love with a gal in his mid 20s. One thing led to another and he came to an agreement that the relationship was not sustainable….end of story…and life moved on.

For the next decade, the sparks, just like the first two, never show up again..and he just let things slide. Why bother with relationship and attachment while one can live freely and independently, right? He heard many humours about commitments and relationships. One once told him about marriage institution is just like a “castle-like-prison” of which the singles view from the outside with awe and rush into it, while the married couples struggle very hard with every efforts trying to break out.

Then cruising into his 30s he again met a gal….she is pretty, smart and could relate well. But she moved away…and things ended before even got started…

All three gals might have given him the sparks, but never.never ..never at first sight.

And then it just happened….met a gal thru a quick meal and suddenly falling in love. He wonders if this is even real? He told me the details and asked if he should go forward. I then replied that he might be asking the wrong person of all people…well, I’m not the one who would easily believe in LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT..and moreover…I have no first hand experience on such phenomenon…but nonetheless….there is nothing impossible in life, right?

He then made a statement…LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT is when you see her/him and suddenly the sparks in your heart set the fire sensation through all your senses…and there is only one thing..and one thing only….you just want to stay close with her/him at any cost………..

Well, it’s definitely possible. The thing to remember is that “love” is an emotion that comes directly from chemicals in our body. After you’ve been together for a certain amount of time, that feeling will go away. You’ll still care for the person and you may love them–but we use that same word for what is really two different feelings. So in that sense, love at first sight is actually much more plausible than suddenly falling in love after knowing someone for years.

Love at first sight is that wonderful emotion and the reaction of “chemistry” that hits you like a thunderbolt. Of course true love is the progression of differing degrees of love, all of which that initial “chemistry” is dependent upon.

I’ll never forget my first love in high school and feeling that thunderbolt . . . decades later the remnants remain and I will never forget him . . . yes, love at first sight is possible and very powerful.
