Love @ first sight ?

Yes and no. First time I saw my now wife I was awe struck by her beauty but, IMO, looks only get you so far in a relationship and for me the more important thing is that Mrs Yoss is my best friend. Sure sounds vomit inducing but that's how I see it - connecting at a personal level is the key to a long lasting relationship.
 
Mine are in their 20's. When I get the shits with them now that they are older for major things like drinking my beer lol… I try and think back to the day they where born and that "love at first sight"......still the same child just a little older makes you more tolerant to the things young adults get up to.
 
I never thought of the love for my kids in that way, it sounds odd but I know where yous are comin from….but I wouldnt say ''Im in love with my kids''....but the love is unconditional.

as for the thread, it really hasnt happened for me
 
hmm this thread has the potential to get a little heavy i reckon. I think everyone is different when it comes to this. Some do, some don't. I remember the first time i saw my ex, she hit me like a ton of bricks. Her eyes just sucked me in, and when i got to know her, we just developed a massive connection

Whats up mate, going through a rough time? if so,don't worry i've been there too. Just hang in there you'll pull through it :slight_smile:
 
Good thread Demps

Can't say I have ever experienced it , but maybe because the things I rate important in a partner aren't skin deep

Looks will obviously get their foot in the door but it is everything else that you fall in love with imo

As far as our kids go you love them unconditionally so I wouldn't call it love at first sight

Happy Jr turns 8 on Saturday week and I will never forget seeing him for the 1st time Held him continously for 4 hours waiting for Mummy to get over birth complications and he never cried once

He sure made up for that over the next 12 months
 
Happened to me once years back and resulted in a terrible relationship that cost me emotionally…was the reason I took off and lived throughout Asia for 6 years....

My wife and I now, started off with a mutual dislike for each other, sort of like some lame rom com.

I agree with others and dont put much stock in it to be honest.
 
not love but woo hoo.
when I first met my now wife.
worked with her sister, and being cheeky, and enquired whether she had a boyfriend.
was told in a not so nice manner, " yes, she is taken and why do you ask. she would not be interested in you.
later found out my wife, enquired the same, about me being single, and got a similar reply.
been together since dec, 1993\. married in 1995.
 
Nah, how can you love someone that you don't even know! (Lust at first sight, much more probable! :wink: )

Yoss and Willow, agree!

I did that to my old man last night, he goes 'why do you ask if you're gonna have one anyway?' :laughing:
 
Might be a tad off the topic (soz) but workin in a hostile work environment with around 70% divorce rates u hear a few good lines about love from the old blokes to the young'ns
- "love pfft the only thing love is, is that funny feelin u get before u _____"
- "hate ur too young to hate I taught my wife how to hate the only thing is I taught her too good "

70%? You're not a tradie, are you?
 
Lust, Love… It's all pretty similar.
Without LUST, there is no spark in the brain for attraction, makes you want to mate with another which is human protocol.

LOVE is real, if you haven't experienced it - I feel bad for you.
A lot of people are skeptical about it but they're probably just scared to open up to another person with the fear of being rejected or whatever.

Guess what my friends, you only live once... Make your feelings known.
