    Lust at first sight is probably more accurate

    Hot coffee :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    Yeah love at first sight is possible.














    She did have a big rack, didn't she?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,216 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    Thats not love, its lust / infatuation.

    Tell your friend to get a grip.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    My sexualada does be inflamed at times when I spot a beautiful maiden.

    Erin McCrea ..... Loved her from the very moment we met. She transfered to my school when we were about 15. Absolutely stunning looking. Definately love at first sight. No question..... Pity, she couldn't stand me...

    That was lust...

    If this person was indoors, it is impossible. There wouldnt be near enough the pheromone level to attract him into a wild animalistic frenzy.

    Two words.

    Michelle Monaghan

    Women don't succumb to love at first sight as it's not in your nature.

    It's in men's genes to see, want, take back to cave home.

    It's still lust, not love. :p

    If you see someone you really fancy out and then go out with them and start to love them more the more you get to know them, is this love at first sight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,667 ✭✭✭policarp


    Bugati...
    Love at first sight/site...

    Lust / love .. why spit hairs :D

    Actually, one of the more impressive stories of 'love at first sight' is how Michael Cain met his wife. Can't find the video, but he was at home and seen a commercial on TV and she was in it and he phoned the TV agency and got her number and asked her out and they've been married thirty years or something now.

    Hmmm. What exactly was he planning on saying to her to win her over after hunting her down on the street ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭Millicent


    To be honest, all that stuff is a load of shite, devised by movie-makers and marketeers to convince people that if there isn't a bolt of lightning or an instant attraction, loves not possible. Keeps a lot of misguided people holding out (sadly) for a feeling that'll never happen.

    Course, if I happen to fall in love at first sight someday, I may be back here to change my tune. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭Adrian009


    Who knows? Maybe they're all short-sighted?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭Aoifey!


    You can be attracted to someone at first sight and it may grow into love, but at first sight it was in fact lust.

    It's beyond me i son't know he's prone to drama in everything about his life i was taken aback, never seen such a display of madness, i'm only glad he didn't hunt her down poor girl would have had a heart attack.

    Same sort of thing happened with Steve McQueen and his last wife, except he died soon after.

    And Peter Bogdanovich and Cybill Shepherd. But again it didn't last.

    Yeah, I have to agree. At least a good 60-80%, anyway.

    maybe he just likes drama in life.

    I don't think there's any such thing as love at first sight, however you can have a really strong connection with somebody straight away and feel all tingley..... :o

    I dunno, you can see a girl and think she's really attractive and it's lust, but then every now and again, and it's a rare thing, it's just more. Even if you don't know them, the first instinct isn't "yeh ryuhhhd". I don't even know what I'm trying to say, but maybe Pete can help me out.

    Let's use the photo threads right here on boards as an example, there could be 100 girls (or guys obviously if you're a girl/gay) that you think are hot, and then one that makes you go- shít. Wow. wish I knew her.

    I'll shut up now. jesus.

    I get where you're coming from but you might get to know her and hate her, know what I mean? I've been disappointed by blokes in this way, their personality doesn't match the one I projected onto them.

    1. he wanted to give her a slap [on the arse :pac:] for spilling his coffee on him

    2. he remembers a woman dressed just like this who knicked something off him on the bus the other week
    but didn't see her, now he claims to be head over heels

    but yet he chased after her :confused:

    ..this is the cover story after he got back having failed the mission to catch up with her for reasons 1 or 2 above

    Actually, it was frightening, but in a thrilling kind of way! Never thought I'd ever have that experience - thought it was some gawk that only happened in the movies!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭Adrian009

    That is so true! But from my perspective, with women! AAgggh!

    Oh yeah absolutely. Suppose what I meant was you can conjure up more than lust by looking at someone, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'd love them regardless.

    Actually in some ways those people are the most dangerous because you build up these mad elaborate fairytales of how awesome they are and then they're not and it's a bit 'oh...'. Whereas with someone who's purely "a ride" and they turn out to be not great personality wise you think, fairy nuff.

    I think there is something to "love at first sight" or maybe its more you just 100% like the look of another person.

    You walk u to her and say hey then she opens her gob with a knackery dublin accent, you walk away she gets her mates to kick you in the balls.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭Adrian009


    Me too.... but here we are 2 and a half years later :D

    :D:D:D:D It was significantly further back than that!:p

    Dont know about love at first sight but infatuation at first sight is definitely possible. Might not even be the best looking girl its just something about her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    My dad was in a band and arrived at the hotel they were playing a gig in and my mum was on reception. He walked up to her to sort the rooms out for changing etc and he told his friends that was the woman he was going to marry. He asked her out a few weeks later and 42 years on they are still very happily married.

    So yes I believe in love at first sight, its just a pity all I see are ****.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40 Marwyn


    Im a bit of a romantic and wish there was such a thing, but I think Its impossible, I keep staring into guys eyes, sending out my vibes, and still nothing.....

    I think Ive been ripped off.......(Either that or they think Im some sort of weirdo.)

    Doesn't exist your friend's just a headcase.

    Oh god, I had a friend who wouldn't stop with all this sort of thing.

    If everything about every relationship they had wasn't exactly like all the disney movies they weren't happy. Head wrecking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,061 ✭✭✭leggo


    Didn't believe in it until I took the iPhone out of its box. It completes me. :o

    Love at First sight imo depends on the circumstances, i know with my current partner it took about 10 - 20 sights at least.

    3 years on and i love him more then anything (not anyone though i love my daughter slightly more :D )!

    I loved my daughter at first sight. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz


    Interest at first sight surely (interest that goes beyond lust - had that myself).

    Real love at first site - not really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,449 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Love.... no

    Lust... yes!

    Absolute Knob end!!! So he was going to stop this stunning girl who could have easily been in a very happy relationship and proceed to do his best Hugh Grant impersonation??? He’s that confident?? Let me say, he saved himself a lot of embarrassment really... I can understand a primal spark between two people who perhaps start work on the same day, or who drink in the same coffee shop every lunch time,we all felt it, this strange recognition or electricity felt mutually.

    But to go all googly eyed and have an “impulse” moment??? Please, pass the bucket!!! Sad or what!
    :cool:
