Was it love at first sight? ❤️

The fairy tale idea of "love at first sight" can be very polarizing, but it has definitely inspired countless romance novels and movies! Let's set the record straight - how did that first meeting go down between you and your fiancé(e)?? Was it... A) Love a first sight? B) Attraction at first...

Was it...

A) Love a first sight?

B) Attraction at first sight?

C) Or did your love grow as you got to know each other?

    We met each other and liked each other. But I was dating someone else at the time. We talked for a couple years before we actually started dating. Not sure if it was love at first sight but there was something there when we first met that only grew stronger.

    We went to the same elementary school so we met when we were 5 so there was no love at first sight, but we started talking years later when I was 18. He was my first real boyfriend.

    Definitely NOT love at first sight lol. FW and I met on Tinder when I was just looking at my options and not really ready for anything super serious. She was so far from my type, I usually date really athletic girls who are basically d-bags and she was this very polite small town southern charmer, but she was cute so I decided to give it a go. I gave her my number, but realized that she lived over an hour away and I just wasn't all that into it. ( I realize that one hour isn't a huge distance.) She continued to try to pursue me and asked me on several dates, but I always found an excuse not to. We eventually fizzled out and both dated other people.

    Fast forward to 8? months later. I had just broken up with the girl that I was (casually) seeing and so had she. She called me out of the blue one day and it hit me "wow THIS is how I'm supposed to be treated." I decided to give it a go and from our first date on I was HOOKED. After two months or so of seeing each other, she told me that she wasn't ready for a relationship and just wanted to hang out. I told her that's not what I wanted and wished her the best.

    Two days later she called me and told me that she was wrong, she wasn't going to give me up that easy. I'm convinced that she was just trying to give me a taste of my own medicine and play hard to get. Anyway, we've been happily together ever since!

    A mutual acquaintance introduced us over facebook and we started talking. And talking and talking. A bit later he asked me if he could take me out to dinner or maybe bowling or a movie. I quite happily agreed. But by the time "first sight" came around we had already been talking, so we knew each other somewhat, which was good for me because I tend to be shy and was less so on our first date. I was attracted to him then and we both knew we were dating with the intent to find someone to marry and have a family with, so we grew to love each other pretty quickly.

    I'd say very close to love at first sight - first date and it became even more clear on our second date (a week after first date).

    Our love grew on each other, at least for me haha he has always told me that he got attracted to me at first, and we were just friends and me at the time was like playing guys left to right, but something was telling not to be like that to him. This was our senior year of high school. He asked me out to the movies and we went and after he asked me to be his gf, I told him no because I wasn't "ready" but a month later we kept hanging out and eventually I asked him, if you've liked me so long how come you haven't kissed me? And he was like because i don't wanna break our friendship, and we kissed and the rest is where we are now. Smiley smile so yes my love grew on him and he was attracted to me the moment we met Smiley smile

    I guess I always thought of “love at first sight” not necessarily meaning like your instant in love with this person you don’t know, but that instantly you knew this was your person and you get this overwhelming feeling that you care for them and picture they are meant to be in your life. It’s really odd to imagine that feeling, but my fiancé and I experienced the closest thing to that.
    8 years ago we met at a water park and he saw me while he was up high on a ride looking over the park (I was lifegaurding at another slide). He pointed at me to his friends and said he wanted to go over to where I was working. Him and his friends walked by and I was instantly drawn and connected to him. Something felt right the second I saw him. We talked and connected and from there is history. Smiley love

    We grew to love each other, I didn’t know I loved him until 2 months after we met when he bought a foster kid a Christmas present, he said it’s because he hates that he grew up getting presents and they don’t even get cared for.

    I don't know that I can say it was love at first sight, but there has always been something between us. It sounds so cheesy, but our love grows more and more every day. I am very lucky just to have met him, but for him to want to spend the rest of his life with me???? There are no words!

    To him it was love at first sight, to me he was just a cashier and i was his manager. He proceeded to come in after hours and drink coffee(which he hates) and talk to me. We created a friendship; he then put in his two week notice. And asked me out for a second time and i finally agreed, best decision i ever made.

    We met through online dating and on the first date I thought he was younger than me! Turns out he's just like Edward ... he'll look forever 17 haha. Also I thought he was catfishing me because when he told me he was a doctor, he said he worked at "Doctor's Hospital" ... turns out there really are hospitals called that LOL We started a conversation and it's never ended from date #1 (and we're on date #755!)

    Our love grew. Ive known her since high school and we became really close frienda. After a while something hit and we both instantly fell in love with one another. Now we are engaged to be married and havent been more happy in my entire life. She has taken on me and my daughter and treats my daughter like her own.

    B and C. He was a change for me. Alain came into my life unexpectingly. We hit it off immediately.

    I don't really know his stance, but for me, it was love at first sight! We met for the first time at the first meeting of the Transformers club I started at the college we went to. He walked in a couple minutes before it started, sat down, and I swear my eyes must've bugged out of my head! A man, near my age, who looked 10/10, AND was as nerdy as I am?! Sign. Me. Up! 😍

    I knew, in that exact moment, before he even opened his mouth, before I knew his name, he would be my husband. I just somehow knew. ❤️
