(((((((Francois))))))))) Not sure if your married but if not why don't you try to find her, she may feel the same way.

do you believe in love at first site?

Very young people would tend to say yes, but all you can see at first glance, is the looks.

Getting to know the person and his true feelings for you, takes time.

I do not believe in Love at first site or soul mates either. I am too skeptical for that. I do believe in that there is more than one person for everyone.

I have been with my boyfriend 4 years now and I cannot imagine being with anyone else now. But it wasn't love at first site. It took time. Honestly I do not even know how we made it through the first year. I finally had to take a good look at our relationship and ask myself is this what I really want.

But with patience, work and commitment our relationship blossomed.

Now I know if I lost him I would be devastated but I wouldn't die. Him and I both know how to live with and without each other.

I hope we all have this kind of love.

Something That We Do (Clint Black/Skip Ewing)

I remember well the day we wed

I can see that picture in my head

I still believe the words we said

Forever will ring true

Love is certain, love is kind

Love is yours and love is mine

But it isn't something that we find

It's something that we do

It's holding tight, lettin' go

It's flying high and laying low

Let your strongest feelings show

And your weakness, too

It's a little and a lot to ask

An endless and a welcome task

Love isn't something that we have

It's something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be

Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently

The way we work together is what sets our love apart

So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start

It gives me heart remembering how

We started with a simple vow

There's so much to look back on now

Still it feels brand-new

We're on a road that has no end

And each day we begin again

Love's not just something that we're in

It's something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be

Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently

The way we work together is what sets our love apart

So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start

Love is wide, love is long

Love is deep and love is strong

Love is why I love this song

And I hope you love it too

I remember well the day we wed

I can see that picture in my head

Love isn't just those words we said

It's something that we do

There's no request too big or small

We give ourselves, we give our all

Love isn't someplace that we fall

It's something that we do

Well, speaking from the complacency of 20 years of marriage, I think that true love takes time to develop, mature, and blossom. Love at first sight is just an electric mutual attraction that may or may not work into true love. I know my heart skipped a beat when I first saw Big Tex, and I fell in love with him pretty quick, but like a fine wine it's the years with him that have caused true love to wrap around our relationship and make it even more beautiful than the first giddy year of getting to know each other.

It's smiling when I see a little mannerism that is only his.

It's feeling safer when he cuddles me after he gets home from work at 2:00 a.m.

It's still, after 22 years, feeling a little thrill inside when I hear his voice.

It's a feeling of happiness when I hear him laugh.

It's . . . true love!

True love? yeah

Love at first sight? nope

Love at first sight = hots

"I don't believe that there is one and only one person for you. There are thousands, actually." FRANCOIS.

I agree with that, you can fall in love with anybody, if you spend enough time with that person. I believe that in a sense there is one and only person for you. The key is finding the person that loves you more than what another person can love you, and in return you give the same devoted love, that cannot happen with just anybody.

I don't believe in love at first sight. I'm 19, and I'm sure I'm not experienced as other people are, but here is my story of my first and only love. I met her on the net, it was on Terra chat, a spanish chat for North America. I remember I was in one of my friend's channel from Texas, and I remember that we didn't have that much of conversation, I just asked her where she was from , she lives 3 hours from where I live. After that first conversation, I didn't talk to her till a month. Then for the most part 3 times a month. I was just friendly, I didn't have anything else in mind, since at that time I thought love or relationships through the net were stupid and made no sense. It started changing when I liked her personality and her points of views. That's when I asked her for her phone number. She hesitated several times, but I insisted, and finally she gave it to me. I called her , and the first time I had a good time with her, we talked for at least 4 hours. I started to grow feelings for her, and at the same time I was in a battle with myself thinking this was not right and that it wasn't possible. I'm a very shy guy, which figures why I never had a girlfriend in my life. But one day I just thought to myself , if I ask her out, I don't lose anything, if she says No, at least I tried. So I grew enough courage to ask her out, and she said yes. We had a good relationship over the phone and e-mails, we were like that for 6 months, I couln't go and see her because I didn't have a car. But last month I got to meet her. I was so nervous to go, but when I got there, I was relieved that she was nervous too, so that helped me out. The ice was broken after a few minutes since we knew each other for 6 months already, and we started talking just like we did on the phone. It was my first date ever, and I had so much fun, if it wasn't for her my life would not have no inspiration, she loves me in the same way I lover her, and sometimes I think more. I just hope the relationship lasts forever, and if it doesn't , at least I know someone can love me.

I know very few people are going to read this, hehehe, seems too long and boring, but it's nice to post here, just like someone said earlier, that they're more open with strangers. Very true.

Love is nature's way of fooling us into reproducing.

I don't really believe in the "soulmate" concept. I also don't believe in love at first site. – RubyTuesday

Well said, Sister Girl. I don't believe in those things, either.

I don't think it's that unusual to have an immediate attraction to someone, though. A variety of things might cause it that have nothing to do with love. Smells in the air, something unique or special about what the person looks like... even my own state of mind when I see them the first time all have an impact on my reaction to them? Like someone said, I think there are a number of people that we see every day that we'd be perfectly happy with. The trick is coming in contact with them.
