Was this love at first sight?

I've asked questions before about getting over this one guy I felt in love with. I tried all of your suggestions, and they were really great. I stopped communicating with him, but it made me want him more. So I had really good will power. Anyways,...

recently I went to my friend's cousin's wedding reception. I hadn't nkown anyone there except for her mom and her aunts. We danced and had a really fun time. Then just as we wanted to leave, a really handsome man came in. My heart stopped and I had a lump in my throat.I watched him ALL night long, and Iwas just in awe of him. He reminded me of my dad when my dad was younger. He was into the music I liked (I could tell ebcause of the music he ran to the dance floor for), he had blnde hair, the kind I like, and he treated his girlfriend so well. Well, my dad dated a woman for four years before he met my mom, and then he fell in love with my mom. Love at first sight. MY QUESTiON iS: if the same thing happened to my mom, do you think it couold happen to me? I didnt get his name, since he was on the groom's sideo f the family (we were there for the bride), but i know he saw me. And when he did, he just smiled. I felt a race in my heart, doy ou think its love? Funmail me for more details.

Some will disagree with me, “love at first sight” is a physical and emotional impossibility.

Why? Because love is much more than a romantic feeling. It is more than a sexual attraction or the thrill of the chase or a desire to marry someone. These are responses that can occur “at first sight,” and they might even lead to the genuine thing over time. But those feelings are usually very temporary, and they do not mean the person who experiences them is “in love.” I wish everyone understood that fact!

The primary difference between infatuation and real love is where the emphasis lies. Temporary romantic attractions tend to be very selfish in nature. A person may say: “I can’t believe what is happening to me. This is the most fantastic thing I’ve ever experienced! I must be in love.” Notice that she’s not talking about the other person. She’s excited about her own gratification. Such an individual hasn’t fallen in love with someone else; she has fallen in love with love!

Genuine love, is an expression of the deepest appreciation for another human being. It is an intense awareness of his or her needs, strengths and character. It shares the longings, hopes and dreams of that other person. It is unselfish, giving and caring. And believe me, these are not attitudes one “falls” into at first sight!

So, i do NOT believe in love at first sight...without knowing a thing about that person. You fell into his looks first, and that is NOT love!!
