When Can We Trust Love at First Sight?
Here’s my one incident of genuine love at first sight. Genuine in the sense that decades after the first moment when our eyes locked, which was accompanied by an abiding sense of calm, we still feel the same way about each other.
Alas. My story is not about romantic love, but even so, there was an unusual certainty when I met William (my dearest friend who happens to be gay). One look and an exchange of hellos, and we were bonded for life.
Since then, I’ve locked eyes with many men, and breathlessly wondered (most recently in June), is this my true love at first sight? But not one has stood the test of time. Not one except William. And I’ve decided that it counts.
Do you still believe in it?

I definitely believe in infatuation at first sight! 😉 I believe that we can be strongly attracted to people instantly and not just because of physical appearance but because we can sense from subliminal cues that this person is a soul mate. Since I don’t believe in actual soul mates, I think we can have many of these kindred spirits, and of course, some of them enter our lives for a reason, some for a season, and a few for a lifetime. 🙂
