What is love?

Because the earth is standing still, and the truth becomes a lie
A choice profound is bittersweet, no one hears Cassandra Goth cry

I think you can figure out you like someone at first sight (well, first time you meet, anyway), but love comes later (or maybe not).

I think Disney's change of stance in 2013 is more realistic.

Elsa: You can't marry someone you just met.

Funny, you don't know what you got til it's gone.

^ Considering several of the Disney movies technically don't have a "love at first sight" issue (the characters often dislike/hate each other, come to like each other, and end up married in the end), I'd say Anna is the one who rushed it the most and was more unrealistic than a lot of the others. Most of the other stories have a slightly more realistic "get to know each other" period, while if for some a bit short, at least it doesn't last through a single song that ends in "we're getting married after having gotten to know each other for literally just 5 minutes". But at least Disney acknowledged it's probably best to properly get to know the person you're head over heels in love with before getting married (because he/she could end up being a creep ).

Hans was trying to seize Arendelle, because being the youngest of 13 brothers, he would have been sent to a monastery. So yes, he was a creep, especially for attempting to kill both Anna and Elsa.

With Kristoff, at the end of the first one, they were akin to lovers (boyfriend\girlfriend) and they spent the most time together and Kristoff rationalizes with Anna why she shouldn't marry Hans during the early leg of the journey going into details, and she ends up realizing in the very end that Hans wasn't the one.

About the monastery bit...
Fact: If the king of a sizeable kingdom in Europe felt like he couldn't evenly divide power among the elder brothers and younger brothers, he would have sent the younger ones to a monastery. However, most monks were anything but pious. Think of monasteries as being more like early frat houses.

I came here to say this, lol.

I remember the first time I met my partner. He was putting milk in the milk machine at work. I thought he had nice strong shoulders

Two subjects really: mutual love at first sight and one sided love at first sight. The latter is likely, the former is improbable. It also has to do with what we learned is attractive. People who share similar backgrounds and values may have learned to present themselves the same way.

Sims are better than us.

^ I think when it comes to spotting a potential partner it's more like "feeling attraction to someone at first sight" than "loving at first sight". You can absolutely feel attraction to someone (even mutual) the first time you meet, but I don't think it's actual love at first.

The only ones who kind of do feel love at first sight are new mothers and fathers (well, if it isn't love at first sight or love that comes gradually, then most end up at least liking their kids... or tolerating them...) - and in a way that's also one-sided for a little while (a newborn baby is happy as long as it's fed, clean, and safe - doesn't matter that much whether the provider of needs being met is mom, dad or someone else the first few weeks/months)

You can however love food, items, music, color, etc. at "first sight", because it's a matter of personal taste, and there's no need for the item to love you back (this kind of love can grow stronger, but it can also dissapear with time - but it's still one-sided).

Yes-absolutely I saw a couple of donuts I fell in love with at first site and loved them to the last bite. You can love a new car, new house, or pretty much any inanimate object because you don't invest in them or blame them as much when they disappoint you as you do a person.

I believe in love at first sight but that it stems from the physiological functions/instincts that all living organisms have. If we didn't have these functions, more than likely, we would not exist.

On topic, no, I don't. Love doesn't even exist for me, there is no such thing.

Love at first sight comes with lots of danger because it's based of fleeting feelings and attractions, without knowing anything about that person. Most times without knowing yourself, as well

I believe in attraction at first sight. Love is something that develops over time and with nurturing. Initially, this is an "other" person, but over time, with shared experiences, this person becomes less "other" and more an integrated part of your family. Hopefully, this is someone who you feel has your back and you have theirs. The feeling or quality of love changes with time. That first wave of excitement fades and real feelings develop in its place.

For me only with some actors - new actors I haven't seen before, my reaction has been akin to a swoon, then watching only that person in every scene, taking note of his name and looking for more movies with him in it. On a personal level, no.

I met my husband on a Friday night in a city I did not know, visiting people I did not know (I went with a good friend who wanted to visit her sister and did not want to drive alone).

He smiled. It was a head over heels moment for me.

We were married until death parted us.

So, yes

My personal stance. I check out anything incriminating before I should consider moving forward. If I disagree with the evidence like they have, say would disrespect my family, I dump them from the data..
