    I didn't believe in love at first sight ... until it happened to me, in 1968 in Anchorage, Alaska. And no, it was not "lust at first sight". There was something radiating from her countenance that spoke of her inner qualities.

    Can it work? Well, this June she and I will celebrate our 35th anniversary.:)

    I haven't had love at first sight, but I have had funny feelings about someone that I would later fall in love with. I somehow knew we would be very close, although I had no idea how close her and I would be.

    Actually way back when when I first seen my first girlfriend, I completely froze. I had never seen her before, only knew her mother (she was the manager at a grocery store that I worked at). I was running the cash register and when her daughter came in to check out, I completely froze. I had this awkward and strange feeling running through my body; it was almost as if I felt vibrations pulsing through myself. I could not take my eyes off of her for the feeling that was running through myself was so unique to me. That exact moment in my life, everything had turned completely upside down. After I checked her out (from the register) I talked to her mom and her mother told me that she liked me as well. It was all lovey dovey for the first couple of months and everything was running completely fine then one day it all just came to a grinding halt.

    Now that I look back on it I feel as if we were both way to immature to hold a relationship of that magnitude.

    I do still wonder to this day what would have happened or where I would have been if something would have came out of that. I am not sure how she feels, but I think because she was my "first" love some of those feelings will never go away. As well, no relationship to me has ever felt the "same" as that with the tingles, the vibrations, and the crazy emotions of just touching one anothers skin.

    Denise; from that, I do have to disagree with you on that one. I was indeed inlove and fell in love from first site; it just happened to not work out, heh.

    I have a rule that I follow. I follow things in this crazy science like way of thinking. Well, as everyone knows science cannot prove a negative (ie something does not exist). Well.... never say never :) Never implies that is impossible for something to happen/exist. I say everything is probable. Sure there is a strong chance of a human not being able to fly (without any machines/material), but maybe one day we will evolve to that state.

    Anyways, the "love at first sight" I believe is a rare activity and will happen only once in a lifetime.

    Never say Never Denise :) You never know who may be around the corner :)

    I knew which girl I was going to marry when I saw her the first time. 9 months later we were married.

    It wasn't a phsyical reaction. It was more of a mental thing where everything just fell into place.

    "Never say never" is one of the most overused phrases. Period.

    Ya'll can take your lovey dovey crap and be happy; if love at first sight happened to you, great. I do believe I can safely say, however, that it's never going to happen to me. I've been strongly attracted to someone I never knew before, and we ended up dating, but I did not instantly fall in love with that person upon first glance. It just doesn't work that way for me.

    I might not know whose around the corner, but I bet it's not my Prince Charming ;) (Who needs one of those anyway? Not me!)

    Hah, the ever sturdy Denise comes through as always :) "Never say never" is overused, true. However, its truth should be taken in by more then just who speak of it.

    When you say "strongly attracted", was this lust? It is not the same thing. I of course do not know what you mean by attractions as it may be the person's personality, their looks, or any other number of features. I can tell you this though; it has absolutely nothing to do with any of them. Something grinds in your inside that you can neither explain or reason with. And no the person doesn't have to be attractive; it has nothing to do with it.

    As for prince charming; this is not who it is about either. The girl that I did the hole "love at first sight" with I know I was no prince charming. I was a completely immature crazy man that didn't ever have a serious moment/discussion in his life; and when people tried to be serious I just laughed at them and called them crazy.

    For the girl; she is completely opposite of what I like in a girl. She is obsessed with fashion, smoked pot, and was quite the little story teller. These are definately the things I do not like in a girl; but yet I still dated her.

    While this will end up being an endless debate of "it happened to me but will never happen to you", this is not what I am trying to portray even if it does.

    I believe what I believe because it happened to me; as for you, it may have not happened yet, or will never happen (and it may). However, if it does (**BIG IF**), well; enjoy! If it doesn't; no big loss; love comes in all sizes, shapes, and categories!

    I say enjoy love when you have it; remember it when you have lost it. Never regret it though :)
