I don't believe in love at first site in almost all cases, though I believe in first site infatuation. I see love as a substantially deep emotion that cannot just be achieved as easily as looking at someone. Infatuation, however, can happen whenever- it's something that controls people and misguides them to do unintelligent things, but not everlasting.

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

Like several other people have said, I don't believe in love at first site. Attraction sure, but actual love? No way. Love takes a long time to form, it's impossible for it to form at first sight in my opinion. :[ I get lots of crushes on people when I first meet them, but most of them usually go away after a while. I've had a few that have been long term, and one that's formed into love. But it took a long time, no way to feel like this at first sight D:

I very strongly do NOT believe in love at first sight.

You can't possibly love someone without knowing one thing about them.
Yeah, maybe they have a pretty face, or a nice body, but they could be completely evil and they could treat you like garbage.

The only person I've ever honestly loved, took me 6 years of an off-and-on relationship/consistant friendship to acutally "know" that I love him, and by that point we were close enough and comfortable enough with each other that we could say that. Though we still had a lot to learn about each other, we knew enough to "love" one another.
Unfortunately.. after a long relationship with many issues (related to parents more than anything), his infatuation with another girl took him away from me, and things had to end. We don't talk anymore, but the last time we did have a conversation, which was months after we broke up, he told me that he does still love me, regardless, and I told him the same back. I still feel that way to this day, though I'm sure I hardly know anything about him anymore.. I guess maybe I just love the memory of who I knew when he was mine.
Anyway.. I'm getting off topic.
The point of the story is that I didn't dare say the word "love" to him until I knew enough about him and had enough experiences with him to be able to "know for sure" that I was feeling such an emotion.

No, no I do not. I could make a very, very lengthy post on how love at first sight can not be, but I'll spare your eyes. I just can never see love at first sight ever, ever happening. Some guys out there fall in love with a women because they think she's 'hot' or 'cute' or 'beautiful' and just want to hit it off straight away. I however, don't. Personality is a key factor in a relationship and being able to connect with the person you love is worth the most in a relationship.

I strongly don't believe it.

Given that I feel love shouldn't have set limitations like being a matter of elongation in time, yes; I do. I feel that love is powerful enough, however sappy it may sound... on second thought, I wouldn't even call it sappy but rather fortitude - one who can concede that they're sensitive are more gutsy than those who don't to act "tough" on my view, and to me those who feel will and can always relate to some tragedy or range of emotion to share in, where as those who just think will only see the world as one with the droll and limitations. That's not to snub thinking as I love the philosophical facets of it but I think that feeling partakes it rather largely. But love of any kind can be prevalent by any account and of anyone's accord, even though I feel warming up and taking time is also should be taken into factor. The key to me is to recollect that like all things in life love and "good" nature, however morally subjective, can and will always be malleable and vulnerable at the behest of anyone who has the incentive and temerity to use relationships as a penchant to further their own callous causes. Another reason why I feel being discreet in the matters of love, however wonderful and empyrean love at first sight can be, is that I do feel we as humanity are the darkness, greats, and change in the world now and at length. Thus, a victory I feel has superiority over most things is defeating oneself and one's temptations.

That's why while love in the immediate moment is wonderful, especially when you know it, as no one can tell love, and it blooms to fruit in the heart, one still has to be prudent because there are those who will be cross with you without telling you and they will plan ill intent against you whilst speaking pleasantly to you (I won't say self-indulgent, because to think about oneself for even a moment is self-indulgent enough). So while I am of that belief and I do think it's of warrant - I don't think one should take anything for granted in that regard, either, as that can leave one with an emotional wound dealt too deeply (think a blackened heart with quite an empty hollow filled), and that's surely a way to dampen spirits if that's indeed within intention.

Its a difficult question to be honest. Usually it takes a long time for love to develop. Sometimes there is that one person who just fits perfectly with you and your personality, but its finding that person which is the problem. In cases where it has actually happened it was just spontanious. So I going to have to say no because the chance of finding the special person is next to none :(

I believe it is possible to a certain extent. It all depends on how you define it. When I say love at first sight, I don't mean I see them and instantly love them. I can say, however, that it is possible to truly fall in love with someone very quickly, soon after meeting them.

I do believe in the concept of it to some extent.

Love at first sight is not possible in my opinion - love cannot be based on appearance only, obviously. First glances create attraction, but definitely not love. It is the personality that attracts and creates the love, and not the looks ;)
*sigh* I'm just repeating the 99% of the other responses that've been stated.
Anyway, yes, I consider myself lucky. *coughgorgeous!cough*

Like most people here, I find the concept of love at first sight nothing short of ridiculous.

Suki pretty much hit the nail here.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

No and I've gone off explaining the difference between infatuation and love enough times so we'll leave it at that.
The nail. You hit it on the head.

Love at first sight is fairly ridiculous. Lust at first sight, however, is perfectly plausible. You can only grow to love someone through knowing them.

Personally no I don't. Cause then that would be falling in love with ones looks. And I myself, love a person for who they are. And are attracted to them for that manner. The personality shines through for me.

Remember the way I was, for me.

Well of course you can, but it's not always, umm how do I phrase this, the love that people think of generally. You can look at a person and just love them purely based on their looks, or should I say YOU THINK you love them (not a relationship I would really look into, but it happens). Point being that there are countless reasons why you could love someone at just one glance. I don't really know what "actual" love, as in relationship love, I know what parental love and such is, but I haven't really experienced what love is in a relationship.
