Do you believe in love at first sight? Few weeks back, I saw this lady around my age and it was something like love at first sight, I fell to her. She smiled at me but I couldn't smile back because when I've interested in some girl, I really can't look at her eyes in the beginning, I don't know why. However, I've seen her few times after but I don't know, I don't really know should I even talk to her because myself I'd like travel England after military service and later to U.S. and I've always wished that I'd meet my wife in the U.S. and I wish that I'd find her from Church, because I'd like have a religious wife!
 
I believe in biological love at first sight.

It's amazing to me how much we assign to the good and spiritual things going on inside of us are really just the biological and emotional things going on in our bodies.

As you get older, you learn a lot about life.

(I would prolly never see some of these threads without the 'newest posts' thingy in the home page side bar, lol)
 
Love at first sight? I was 14 and knew then I would marry John that was in 1961 . Love not so sure... I am out of here this granny is no young adult :)
 
I was listening to a song by Carley Simon two days ago:

♪♫ said:
You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life

From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life

Father's Day is coming. She was singing about that moment when her baby was born.
This recalled to me the time when I too fell in love --at first sight.
My son: You are the love of my life. From the moment that I saw you, I knew. Quite simply: The LOVE of my life.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

[Mal 4:5-6 KJV]

Tears fell then as they do now.

Me too...times 4.

I have three sons and a daughter.

Is there anything more precious?

Have kids of your own...then you'll start to understand God's love for his.

Okay, got my calculator out...were you 14 in 1961, or married in 1961?

But these young folks can learn so much from us...assuming they're humble and teachable like we were at their age. ;)
 
I definitely believe that love at first sight is possible. As men we naturally are drawn to the beauty (not only in woman) of different things, but often I think we can mistake love for infatuation. Some people might say that infatuation and love are very similar, but I think that love is a much deeper thing. Love is something that is grown over time as you get to know someone on a more personal level.

Going back to your question AIR, yes maybe you are in love, it is completely possible, but you don't know the first thing about this girl. There could be somethings in her past that would make you run far away from her. With regards to you wanting to travel, just keep remembering that Scripture in Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

God has the BEST plan for your life, even if you can't see it now. He loves you and He wants the VERY best for your life. Keep trusting in Him and also seek advice from Elders/Pastors in your local church, I'm sure they will have great advice from their own past experiences.
 
im a bit young in that I really wasn't well old enough to understand or hear much of carly simon. I have listened to some of her.any way. it should be lust at first sight. love is something that grows. I used to get mad when men tell me that you don't love your wife now but lust for her. a few years ago I saw that to be the case. looks where off.love shouldn't. my wife isn't as attractive as she used to be, then again neither am i.looks gets one's head to turn and take notice. love is what is built and remains. oh and I have done the love at first sight thing. yay that worked out. when you first get married your love is shallow as it hasn't been built upon by trials of fights, selfishness being changed to yielding, job loss, and other hardship. not that I don't have room to love my wife more. I do
 
I think the only time "love at first sight" is true is when your child is born. There's nothing like that.

In a relationship, though, like you're talking about - no, I don't believe it. I believe in Lust at first sight, or Infatuation at first sight, but that kind of love has to develop. It can develop quickly (my wife and I were engaged after 2 months), but it does not happen immediately.

There's your nickel's worth of two-cents. :biggrin
 
Well i would hav to dissagree with my hubby MatthewG because i knew especially the second time we hung out that i loved him and that i wanted to marry him.... ;)...but i also agree with him on that there is lust at first site so you just have to be careful on where your mind is when you actually are looking at the person and what you are actually thinking about while thinking about the person to make sure your not getting mixed signals or emotions
 
I dont think its love but then again i dont think it takes a whole lotta time when it really is love and really is the one God chose for you.When its right its right.
