Love at first sight. The stuff of fairytales, romantic novels, and countless Hollywood movies. But does it exist beyond fiction? While cynics might scoff, countless individuals swear by the phenomenon, claiming to have experienced an undeniable spark, an immediate and electrifying connection upon meeting someone new.
Let's delve into the world of 6 love at first sight stories:
1. The ones that got married
"I saw my wife for the first time when she was with her boyfriend. It was our sophomore year of college and I turned to my friend and said, "She's beautiful. I'm going to date her." He, of course, called bullshit on me but, happily, a few days later she dumped him for me and seven years later we're married and have a beautiful child. Was it love? The romantic in me says of course. The realist in me says no - but love certainly developed quickly from whatever that was," Critical Miss, Reddit

2. The one she got engaged?
"I knew I loved my boyfriend after our first date, but I didn't tell him for a couple of months after in case I scared him away. Luckily, he felt the same; two and a half years later we're engaged and live together. I suppose it wasn't so much love at first sight as love after spending around 9 hours together talking," CT321, Reddit

3. Love at the second go
"I was starting over after a bad marriage. I was in my new car and paused to check my hair in the mirror. Happy with what I saw I said out loud..hmm..God, maybe today you will send somebody just for me. I turned the corner and saw him standing there looking cold at a bus stop. I asked him if he wanted a ride (something I never do) and he said yes. When he sat next to me in the car we could both feel the electricity between us. It took him 4 weeks to call, but 20 years and six kids later we are happily married and I still get butterflies when I see him," Ritabird, Reddit

4. The one across the office
"Fell in love at first sight with my girlfriend now when I first saw her nearly 9 years ago. When I saw her, I remember this feeling of familiarity, like I had known her or felt comfortable with her already, and I had never met her before, even at this point, I had only seen her across the office and it was a few hours before we met," OverthinkingMachine?

5. The one getting married in 20 days
"My wife and I both did at the same time with each other. It was a warm and safe feeling, almost like we had known each other for years. We got married 20 days after meeting at the early age of 18 and were married for 25 years, nearly to the day, before she passed (about 5 years ago). I was/am crushed, but I always look back at what I had and understand that it only hurts because it was good for a long time," ob12 99, Reddit

6. The love that happened twice
"Twice. That's the only way I develop a crush on girls at all. I can spend time with an amazing, gorgeous, smart girl and even after knowing her for months I will not develop feelings, however here I come over some random girl, who I know nothing about and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, the world feels like it has colour then ever she is around, I feel dumb and small and everything without her feels meaningless," ThusbeName, Reddit
