Is love at first sight a real thing? Why or why not?

Yes it happens. Smith Wigglesworth said that when he saw his wife for the first time his heart skipped a beat and he knew she was the one. I think it's very rare though. Normally it's just too good to be true and a crook or lust or both.

I don't think so.

LUST at first sight happens a lot but not love.

I think it happens. Probably not nearly as often as people say, but sometimes. However, it's inexplicable, and love also can grow or wane, so there's no point in trying to evaluate any particular claims of "love at first sight."

Infatuation at first sight. Nearly 65, I don't think about such things. I can't believe I'm old. I'm a regular Rip Van Wrinkle!!!

No. Attraction at first sight yes. Love comes later.
