Does love at first sight exist?

[PrizeyPrize]

Ok love at first date then.
I need to come back down to earth, because I can't quite believe how into this guy I am. Everything about him makes me melt. Geez woman get a grip.
Ok so met online, been texting for 2 months (I've been busy with work and holidays), finally met a few days ago and we just connected so much. Not just that but, I've never physically fancied anyone more than him, ever. So date goes on chatting into the evening, then given the amazing connection we kind of ended back at his (I never do this, and apparently neither does he). We had the most amazing night, just mind-blowingly good, so compatible in that respect too, and held each other all night, I feel like I'm in a film or a dream or something. Haven't eaten a thing since, can't get him off my mind. We've been texting constantly since and its fair to say he is into me too. This was not expected at all. Please someone slap me.

My mum talks about seeing my dad for the very first time - she was seeing someone else but looked at him & thought 'that's the man I'm going to marry'. And dismissed it, because he was seeing someone else. 30+ years, 3 kids & 5 grandkids later they're more devoted now than I've ever seen them.

I adored dh from the moment we met, but he was just out of a relationship & sending out very 'don't touch' vibes. So I didn't, and just developed my crush in silence. After a few weeks, we got together. Moved in with him after about 6 weeks & the rest is history. Two children, ten years together & 5 married.

Enjoy it OP! I wish I'd known how it would work out for us so I could have fully enjoyed the early months!

I think 'love at first sight' isn't love. It's chemistry - masses of chemistry (obviously feels lovely and very special).

Some couples who have that instant spark will crash and burn, or just not work out, be incompatible blah blah blah.. Or the chemistry can cause people to overlook red flags and end up in miserable relationships for longer than they would without the chemistry. So it's not always a good thing.

Those for whom it did work out and who found they were compatible can say it was love at first sight in retrospect. But in truth they were lucky to have the compatibility to match the initial chemistry. And hurray to them!

I'm early days 5+ months into a relationship with loads of chemistry. After divorcing an utter twat 3 yrs ago who I married very quickly I am gonna give this 2 years before I can say we are a long term prospect. I've learned the hard way!!

Sorry. Very boring take on it.

Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it! But thinking it is 'love' isn't going to help keep you grounded... It's best to try and keep feet on ground and eyes open.

Me and my husband "met" on a dating site. After 2 weeks of talking online we met in person abd it was like we'd always known each other. We were engaged 6 weeks later abd expecting our first, planned child 2 weeks after that! We've now been together nearly 10 years and are expecting our 4th baby next week 😀

I definitely think you can fall in love with someone on a first date. I did with my husband, but he is absolutely gorgeous and just perfect for me. 5.5 years and 2 babies down the line and hes still my world. We knew each other as teenagers but neither of us spoke to the other. It wasn't until we met again as adults that it clicked. Enjoy it. Some people wait forever for this kind of love.

Sure it happens. DH and I knew the moment we met. We've been married almost 30 years.

"Too much honey is delicious, but it makes you sick to your stomach. "

Is that really Shakespeare, JustABoy? It sounds like something a valley girl would say!

LOL CaoNiMao It is, it's from Romeo and Juliet but it was a slightly estuary dumbed down version the real script is here;)

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Yes. 28th anniversary of our 1st date in six weeks, 27th wedding anniversary a week later.
