Love at first sight?
First of all, I feel like a fool for writing about this, but as Jane Austen said in her timeless classic, Pride and Prejudice, "We are all fools in love."
Do you think it can happen? That fleeting look as eyes lock and the world is occupied by only two people. Is it pure physical attraction? Or is it two souls that have finally found each other?
Are you willing to allow your heart direct you rather than the sensibilities of your head? Are you open to the idea?
Or do you love someone in different sight? Acquaintances or friends, who before never thought their relationship can be more than that- but by the sheer stroke of genius of God, their hearts suddenly open and embrace the idea that love can connect them.
Is love at first sight limited only to physical beauty? Can it also mean the first look into someones inner beauty that makes the heart melt and souls connect?
Or is it a combination of everything?
Does it need a person who has the courage to listen to their heart and intuition?
Who believes in love at first sight more... men or women?
Can a heart learn to love someone, if there is no previous connection or 'chemistry', especially if the mind made the initial decision?
And which is the most enduring love? The one that was decided by the mind, or the one that was decided by the heart?
As for me... I'm a romantic dreamer and idealist. I like to think it can happen. Being swept way in a whirlwind of emotions. Being connected to one person in a way that has never happened before. That single moment, the moment that I think we all long for of an electric current that runs down your spine and your insides are fluttering like butterflies. Hopefully we can experience it if our hearts are open and we have courage to be vulnerable enough to trust that love at first sight (or different light) can happen.

umm.. is there something I should know? lool. Those are tough questions and personal ones too. I think answers may varie depending on the individual you're asking.
I personally do believe theres love at first sight, i think its majorly physical chem but somehow theres some small percentage of inner beauty, i think it all comes through the eyes.
And about what works? mind/heartsituations its like a watermelon, you dont know if its red until you cut it. So i think a relationship that works is a relationship with a lot of work to keep it because its 2 people accomidating a 1 people life and thats hard to accomplish unless theres a huge will we could call "love".
