How many times have you been in a situation when you’re in a crowded room, you lock eyes with an attractive stranger, something clicks and you realize that you’re in love?

While it does seem to work out for some, most people shrug off the idea of ‘love at first sight’. Interestingly, it seems that even the scientists do not leave any stones unturned when it comes to something like this. They say, being in love means really getting to know someone over time.
According to more than fifty percent of the young population, love at first sight is made for onscreen stories or fairytales. Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn’t it be precise to put down that instant attraction you feel, in the first meeting, as ‘Lust.’ When you see a couple who ties the knot within a very short time frame since they met, you tend to be calculative. Calculative in the sense that, you measure the amount of time they’ve spent with each other and of all the people YOU don’t think that it’s even worth. Maybe, giving each other some more time was the better thing to do.
Although a majority of the population believes in love at first sight, not everyone falls head over heels rightaway. A study conducted in London, found that men experience love at first sight more often than women. You know why? Because men respond to physical cues better than women and women take some time to build up that trust. There! Now you have the secret to woo your woman.
Though people tend to make their love story as much a part of the movies they’ve watched. I am not talking only about DDLJ or KKHH. A Walk To Remember is also included in my list. It is still unclear, how often love at first sight turns into a successful relationship.
As far as my opinion is concerned, even I think that Love is all about getting to know a person over time. After all the behaviour, attributes, and attitude matters, if you decide to spend your life with the person. And no, I am not being philosophical.
