Love at First Sight - Does it Actually Happen?

I met a school friend after many years. But the lass, popularly known as Miss Rude of school days, emerged to be extremely vivacious and gladsome. When I asked the furtive of that wide sunshine grin, the unpredicted reply was, "I am in love". With my eyebrows raised, the opening word I could utter was "WOW!!" Smiling again, she explained to me the way belongings happened. After learning that she had met the guy a day before at a friend's party and was now deeply in love with him, I abruptly broke into laughter. I know it might have been thought as bizarre and gauche on my part, but I could not control my way of thinking at the moment. They did not even converse to each other and had fallen in love just at the first sight...."How could one fall in love at first sight?" was the extremely first query that came to my mind.

Many of us frequently witness people, who mystify love with 'Infatuation' (just crush or attraction at first sight). But they don't realise that there is a extremely thin line difference among the two. I see no rationale to fall in love devoid of even knowing a person. Love is an eternal emotion, a phenomenon that takes place when one gets acquainted with the mind, heart and soul of the other. When the thoughts rising inside one can be interpret by another and the decision taken by one is understood, appreciated and respected by another. It is not about disputing over the kind of path to be followed, but is walking together on the same path, holding each other's hands.

Now the query is "can all these feelings originate by merely a glimpse or by just exchanging a few words?" The reply is "No" indeed. Love is a process that can take some days, months or even some years to pave its way into the hearts of those involved. It is factual, though, a person can feel quite inclined or attracted towards another owing to some physical persona. But that can be termed as infatuation, crush or sometimes something that could later be transformed into the so called Love. What a teenager today call as 'Love at first sight' might afterward translate into 'Fight at first sight', if the chosen person is not compatible enough to squander the entire life with. Though by putting in some pains and a positive attitude, one can really convert this infatuation into "Love of the lifetime"....

The extremely fact to be set aside in mind is that each person comes from a different background and has undergone an unlike upbringing. So familiarizing yourself with the relations, social and personal background of the person can help you getting into his/her mind and heart. Moreover, if you really like a person, converse your heart out in front of him/her. This would include everything significant in you life, ranging from your school life, hobbies to your 'past relationships' and future plans. Also try to find out the vision and attitude of the person towards 'Life' and 'Love'. Last but not the least, 'Give yourself time' before directly jumping onto the conclusion... Finally he/she will either emerge out to be the perfect one for you, or else there is someone, somewhere, still waiting for your love.

So the next time you make sure someone out, my guidelines would surely help you to translate this illusion, called the 'Love at first sight' into a Reality..
