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

..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!

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.

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.

But when someone is a roide and has a great personality... *celestial music*

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.

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.

Witchie · 28-03-2011 02:22AM

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 ****.

Marwyn · 28-03-2011 02:22AM

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.)

Laisurg · 28-03-2011 02:34AM

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.

leggo · 28-03-2011 05:10AM

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

Kimono-Girl · 28-03-2011 08:36AM

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

)!

I loved my daughter at first sight.

prinz · 28-03-2011 10:01AM

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

Real love at first site - not really.

Vicxas · 28-03-2011 10:07AM

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:

Max Power1 · 28-03-2011 10:11AM

Its lust not love.

Impossible to love someone before you even know them ffs

More to it than lust though IMO. It can be platonic too, perhaps not first site but definitely first meeting.

Really, must be a female thing. It wasn't until I saw my daughter smiling that I started to love her. It would be the same with a few of the lads I know with babies.

Love is for teenagers. When the harsh realities of life kick in and you realise that living with someone else is one of the hardest things in the world you tend to put any notions of the fantasy created by Hallmark and Hollywood to bed.

Quite the romantic aren't you.
How do you know he saved himself embarrasment? Sounds to me like your jealous of this guys confidence.
Had the odd knock back have you?

As for love at first sight..... absolutely it can happen! 100%

As always, Charlie Brooker explains it best (and also how it's TV's fault): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjF932SFoCc

Lust / love .. why spit hairs

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.

So what? If she's in a happy relationship she'll turn him down but will likely be flattered, if she's in an unhappy relationship then he could get her* or if she's single then he could get lucky.

*very attractive women rarely enough stay single for long, so it pays to take a chance without asking her relationship status off the bat. A lot of couples have started from the ashes of a previous relationship. More than haven't I'd say. That's life.

I dunno. IMHO it's magical thinking. Nice and romantic an all but magical thinking nonetheless. Love at first sight would equal for me; meeting someone that physically and sexually clicks into that internal attraction template in your head. If it lasts it's because their deviations from that template weren't so big to put you off and split you up in the early days. In retrospect it looks like love at first sight, but it's really not. Like I say magical thinking. Up there with fate etc.

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.

Oh jesus that hardly qualifies. I mean what woman is going to turn down Steve McQueen. Equally since he was so famous the first time she met him was hardly "first sight"

I return to my previous point thou - what was he going to say to the girl after he's hunted her down Predator style on the street ?
