Loving at first sight, can it be real or is it infatuation ?

  • 0

Is loving at first sight possible? We’ve all probably found out that someone we love really bad the first time we make eye contact with them, but how do you know if it’s love at first sight or just love?

When you feel like you love someone at first sight, it may be due to chemicals your brain releases, such as phenethylamine. This chemical essentially acts like a natural amphetamine, helping you feel good about life. It activates two neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine, which increase your heart rate and make you feel good. This will break your boundaries and you begin to idealize the person in front of you and see them as good things. This is why we get the impression of being in love.

Not loving someone at first sight does not mean that your love will not grow over time. The definition of love to people is quite different.


Infatuation is a powerful emotion that can make one wonder if there could be love between them. Have you ever met someone at a public gathering or a party and started a conversation? Maybe you felt a bit of a connection there and really started it in the short period of getting to know each other. This can lead to an exchange of phone numbers and an eventual date. Many relationships start this way and some might say it’s love at first sight. Most experts would say that this is a fact that love at first sight leads to love over time. Does it really matter? Depending on your point of view, the difference may be negligible.

To answer the question of whether first love exists or not, it is crucial to look at this topic from all angles. Remember that feeling attracted and curious about someone is not the same as love. If you understand this, you will understand why people like to distinguish between love at first sight and infatuation. Knowing that love can end with the result of these encounters can make things tricky for some people, but it’s different from falling in love as soon as you close your eyes. You just want to get to know someone and see where things are going, even though you are hoping the love can grow.

In conclusion There is no hard and fast recipe for loving someone but whatever you feel is valid, and if you’re not sure how you feel about the other person, give them time and see where it goes.
