Have you ever experienced "love at first sight"?

    I didn't believe in "love at first sight" until it happened to me...and now I wonder how I ever settled for less.

    I met this beautiful Vietnamese girl in the bar in Berlin when I was on holiday. Turns out she was there on holiday and she is living in Dublin. We chatted for hours that evening. The morning after, we spent a few hours sightseeing together around Berlin. I changed my return flight to be on the same flight back to Dublin with her and I wished It was a long haul flight. It was one of my best, happiest holiday. I found myself thinking of her all the time after that, I missed her voice, smile, I missed to look into her big beautiful brown eyes again. Sadly I couldn't get a date with her after that because she just broke up with her boyfriend. I've found myself checking her fiend's Facebook just to see a photo of her, my heart melts. Almost a year gone by, I've been on different dates but I never feel the same. I'm in my late 20s, I am grateful for everything I've done and achieved in my life but I wonder if I'll ever have the same feeling for someone like that again. So I believe, I fell in love at first sight, do you?

    I have news for you pal...

    Seriously op grow a pair and send her a message. She said she didn't want to go out with you because she just broke up with her boyfriend well, it's been a year. Message her and ask if she wants to hook up.

    I was on holiday in Berlin and met this weird Dublin guy, who didn't get that I was a transvestite.
    He was clingy as feck and wouldn't leave me alone, even when I told him I had a penis he followed me around like a lovesick puppy.
    He even followed me onto a flight and sat next to me, trying to convince me to join the Mile High Club.

    Had to block him on Facebook when I got back, no harm done.

    Realistically love at first sight is really just a really strong desire to shag someone. Real love doesnt really come until you get to know them as a person.

    Least thats how i see it.

    I'm not sure about love at first sight, but am a firm believer in horny at first sight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 157 ✭✭BigFatGiant


    It sounds like she is just playing hard to get. Just stalk her for another year or two and she will eventually give in!

    That's not love it's lust. TBH, I think the 'just broke up with my boyfriend' story is the oldest cliche in the book. If she was interested she would have gone for it.

    Not true, true love is magic and is possible at first sight :)

    Don't worry, yours is the truest love in the world. No one else can really understand it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭Chamone MF


    I think its in peepshow where jez runs up to mark and says 'i've found true love i've found true love' and then gets the reply 'so it just so happens that out of six billion possible people on the earth you just happen to stumble upon someone that was supposedly destined for you in a pub'.

    So yeah, its just your b0ner/endorphines.
    Feels good all the same.


    (the endorphines...not your b0ner)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    I kinda know where the OP is coming from.

    I was working for a company that makes slogans for greeting cards a few years ago. Something just to pay the bills as I tried to make it as an architect. Anyway, this girl started working as a secretary in the office and from the moment she walked in I fell in love. She just had this real "cool" vibe about her, was interested into the same music I was (Smiths etc) was just well....perfect.

    I was shy at first towards her, but it all came to a head at a staff karaoke party when my drunken friend let slip that I fancied her. I was mortified, until the following Monday in work she kissed me in the photocopying room. We then embarked on a whirlwind romance for over a year. I'll never forget the great day we had in IKEA.

    Long story short she broke up with me citing that she wasn't looking for anything serious. I wallowed in self-pity for a few weeks until I bumped into her at a workmate's wedding, where she invited me to a house party, which turned out to be her engagement party. I was heartbroken.

    Anyway, it inspired me to pursue my architecture career, not to let love hold me back etc. However, I was waiting to be interviewed by a top architecture firm yesterday when a very attractive girl also awaiting to be interviewed for the same job caught my fancy. I asked her out for a coffee afterwards and she said yes! I think I may be in love....

    Not love as such but you can't mistake chemistry and when it's right, you know it instantly.

    I once spotted a cream cake in a bakers window and it was love at first sight

    You come across as being way too polite and nice.

    If/when you meet up with her you need to treat her badly. Be as rude as possible, tell her she looks awful, slap her around a bit, etc.

    Bitches be lovin' that sh1t.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Yeah, he was Australian and it lasted about 6 days and took me months to get over.

    So young and dramatic.

    I don't believe in it. You can for sure be attracted to someone right away, and when you spend time with them get to love them and maybe believe it was love at first sight, but I don't think you can ever love someone you don't know.

    I didn't believe in "love at first sight" until it happened to me...and now I wonder how I ever settled for less.

    I met this beautiful Vietnamese girl in the bar in Berlin when I was on holiday. Turns out she was there on holiday and she is living in Dublin. We chatted for hours that evening. The morning after, we spent a few hours sightseeing together around Berlin. I changed my return flight to be on the same flight back to Dublin with her and I wished It was a long haul flight. It was one of my best, happiest holiday. I found myself thinking of her all the time after that, I missed her voice, smile, I missed to look into her big beautiful brown eyes again. Sadly I couldn't get a date with her after that because she just broke up with her boyfriend. I've found myself checking her fiend's Facebook just to see a photo of her, my heart melts. Almost a year gone by, I've been on different dates but I never feel the same. I'm in my late 20s, I am grateful for everything I've done and achieved in my life but I wonder if I'll ever have the same feeling for someone like that again. So I believe, I fell in love at first sight, do you?


    jesus man, did your balls drop off or something. First dont facebook stalk or try or contact her. Just get on with your life and find better things to do with your time.

    Love is reciprocal not a one way street. What you have is an infatuation, the best way to get over something like that is by getting out more and doing more positive things with your life.

    People are fairly straightforward underneath all the BS. Nobody wants anyone or anything that they can have easily. I think probably this was the case with you. Next time dont be so keen to ask someone you like out, to start going out with her.

    You should have taken your time, had a laugh with her and then maybe after a while when she gets her **** together make a move. Now its pretty much fu**ed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,504 ✭✭✭bennyineire


    I know that feeling your talking about,

    it's that special feeling you get when you see a lovely cute girl,

    it's that feeling where you would do anything to bone her
