sorry..i don't believe in love at first sight.. i feel that is more of an attraction??..i wont call that love.. as for age diff..for an older guy..i think it depends on how old you are?? like 40 vs 50..is much more acceptable than a 16 vs 26??(gal vs guy) to me... *haha*
Yeah... that was me posting one of those age difference threads a while back that MissCheekS mentioned about. As an update, it turns out that the 29 yr old (who is now 30) just remained my friend (even after I told him about my feelings for him) because we figured that though age is just a number, the fact of the matter is we're in different life stages and it would've just been better that we stayed where we were in our current situation. But of course, we're still good friends right now, and he's like a bro to me. But... if you and your partner really love one another, these things can somehow be worked out if you really put in the effort. But for both me and him, times have changed and we've moved on after accepting the reality of our situation. He has his own girlfriend who is around his age, and I have my own boyfriend. My current bf is 24 now, so it all works out. Anyway, about the love at first sight thing... I don't believe in that because I only believe there is infatuation at first sight (that stems mainly from physical attraction). Love can only be developed from the foundation of trust, loyalty, understanding, and commitment, and these take time and effort to develop between two people.
If that is true, that is quite interesting. Do you mean that the numbers of opposite sexes cause our body to release chemicals that fits into our neuron cell's receptor sites, so the reaction of love takes place; much like a key and lock model? I'm only guessing.
I don't know if I necessarily believe at love at first sight. I think as human beings we are instinctively driven by sex. But because we are human and we have some additional cognitive functions we evaluate potential mates based on other factors. I think based on our personality traits, experiences and whatnot, some members of the opposite sex attract our attention more. They may not be perfect matches but they could be potential matches if all the blocks align or whatever. I say this because the true thing I don't believe in is one true love. I think there are many people in this world who are fitting matches for us. As for age differences. I prefer a couple years difference only because if there's a generational gap or too much of an age gap, there might be divergences in our personalities, like what each of us grew up remembering, what we can relate too, and so forth. That is not to say it's not possible, just more likely to be the issue.
Love at first sight.. No, but Lust at first sight.. Yes.. My biggest age gap is 10 years between me and my guy.. I don't think I'd want to have a larger gap. Even now, since we're still friends, I do see the difference in our thinking, different points in life..
No! You can be attracted to someone but I don't think you can fall in love with them at that second. You have to know someone before falling in love.
age aint a matter to me as long as your in love with them 8 years difference will be the finally limit i will go for, as for love at first sight, im not sure if that is the case or not..
don't really believe in love at first sight. But for age difference, i think 8 years would be the limit for me too. But I can't accept guys who is younger than me.
