Love at first sight

Do you believe in love at first sight? Most girls have a little more faith in this phenomenon than men. Have you ever been swept off your feet? People usually start off by being attracted to each other, which is what first brings them to come into contact. You can’t tell if you love someone just by looking at them. Some might say, “Oh that person seems like she would be nice or looks like a sweetheart.” But you don’t know them; you might absolutely hate their bad habits.

That first push that made you contact the other person came from an interest. It may result in you finding that you get along with that person wonderfully, but it also might introduce you to your own worst enemy. For the ones who have a favorable outcome, they are the couples who claim that it was “love at first sight.”

Love at first sight is cheesy and overrated. Even though it is used in many of the fairytale stories, is it unrealistic and fictional. It is not something that happens very much today and it truly is just overlooked. It is not realistic because if it is love at first sight you’re just going off their looks, which is not what a relationship should be based off of. You need to get to know the person and see what it’s like being with them and possibly even living with them. If you don’t get to know the person you might end up with someone that you can’t stand at all. Would you want to live a life with someone like that? I think not. That is why we go on dates and get to love and grow with that person. This is why love at first sight should not be considered when you are looking for a long lasting relationship with someone that you will love and cherish. (317)
