It’s debatable. You can be in control of your thoughts and rationalize well, but you can’t always be in control of your emotions. Your emotions are held in your heart, but your mind is what controls it. If you can’t control it at all, you’re going to have problems in whatever relationship you want to be involved in.

Love at first sight can be a simple attraction you may have to the other person. It can also feel as a certain vibe or “gut feeling” that he or she really is the true love of your life. A simple look or flirt from someone is enough for some people to fall in love. This is not good, but is inevitable. Sometimes our emotions take over us blocking all thoughts… we feel so much for someone for such a short time only to find out they are either married, or taken, or are some kind of psycopaths… just kidding! (Well maybe it’s true!).

This is what it really is. Love at first sight is only short-term love. You don’t know much about that person: their real interests, their personality, problems they may have held in from the past (that will eventually come back to haunt them). You really don’t know a person until you’ve spent a couple of months with them, and even then it’s a short amount of time to know if you really “love” that person or not.

Falling in love can be such a beautiful experience, or a very bad one. That’s why you need to take your time to know someone before you jump in all crazy just because you need someone in your life. You need to understand that love at first sight, in my opinion, and with all the facts I’ve mentioned, does not exist. It does not exist because a feeling or emotion that you get from looking at or meeting someone for the first time, is not enough to know the entire truth about them. You need to use your head first (men, the one on top of your neck, mind you…) and filter out who you think is not worth the time. After doing this, you can have your own Romeo & Juliet novel to reflect on your love life, or should I say: the love of your life.
