In response to Jenny Beers' question, "Do you believe in love at first sight? Or lust at first sight? Or neither?"...
I highly doubt that anyone can fall in love at first sight. Lust however, is a different story. As humans, it is very easily trick ourselves into thinking we like someone more than we actually do. My friends and I like to call this our "shiny new toy theory." Often, one may meet someone and think that they are incredibly attractive. Ask that same person about a week later after they have gotten to know the person, and chances are that they will not see that person in the same light as they first did. Love though, is enduring. Humans love their families, friends, and pets, and will usually do anything for them. Love takes a long time to develop, and for that reason, it is not something one can have instantly. So, lust at first sight is definitely possible, but as for love at first sight, it may only be very rare. Love at first sight most likely occurs when someone finds another instantly attractive, and then their attraction continues, not diminishes, the more they get to know the person. Do you believe that everyone has a "soulmate"? If so, what do you think the chances are that everyone will meet their soulmate at some point in their life?
