Do You Believe in Love at First Sight?

I was reading a magazine the other day and the topic of "love at first sight" came up. I've thought about this idea from time to time, but not really. Some people are so focused on love that they lose track of themselves. Some don't open themselves up to it at all. Most everyone has a warped vision of love in their minds due to all of the television, celebrities and movies out there. Sometimes you get the message of perfect love, sometimes love filled with conflict, and sometimes you see people get married just to get money out of it... **cough kim kardashian cough**

I do believe in love at first sight, but I think that there are many misconceptions about it. Most of the time when people think that they are experiencing love at first sight, they really are just experiencing attraction to a person’s beauty. I believe that when you experience love at first sight, you feel an emotion that you have never been able to feel before. The world stops and this person is all you think about. Even so, this doesn’t mean that you need to hop in a car and find the nearest wedding chapel. Marriage is a big commitment that takes time to know you are ready to make. You need to take some time to find out all of the little quirks that make you love this person even more, the sacrifices you will have to make, an all of the characteristics of this person you’re going to have to learn to live with. Love at first sight is very realistic, but it doesn’t happen everyday. When it does, don’t stop your life to be with them, just spend time with them. I believe that there is a perfect match for everyone out there, but we don’t always find him or her. (311 words)
