Love at first sight?

This is part one of this topic as I think there are many angles to approaching this subject.  All I really have to say is that Wikipedia has a topic on this and therefor it is worth exploring. :-)

Romeo and Juliet is an obvious example of this phenomenon and I would like to think that this was the case between the lead characters in one of my favorite movies, Contact.

Wikipedia also provided some songs related to this :

  • The song “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” contains the statement: “I loved you at first glance.”
  • The song “With a Little Help From My Friends” has the lyric: “Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes, I’m certain it happens all the time.”
  • The popular song “Love At First Sight” by Kylie Minogue describes this phenomenon.
  • I had lunch with a friend today and he claimed to have experienced this magnetic attraction on several occassions over the last year.  For me, it has happened less than I can count on one hand.  The latest experience is something I need to think about more because it was unexpected and inconvenient timing.  I think that’s when it happens though – when it is least expected. You can’t look for it or even hope it will happen, and you definitely can’t control it when it does.
