LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, HOW REAL?

People get tangled in different way, some couples their storys is that of love at first sight. You hear stuff like “ I was in a fast food joint, over the counter ordering  my usual food and beverage when Bumi walked in. she  wore a plan blue jeans and pink top and ordered same thing, same way, I looked by my side and our eyes clashed and I couldn’t remove my eyes nor make a move, I was totally paralyzed and I lacked words to describe the beauty I saw... bla..bla…bla…bla”
First impression matters, the minute you lay your eyes on someone, you pass a judgment and your brains together with your heart, eyes and mind operates impulsively.  Their face, Their clothes, Their posture even a funny kinda music plays in your head…maybe Kcee’s “Tinana”.
Research has shown that first impression passes down a lot of messages and how it is worked on matters, however, can a magical instantaneous eye contact really add up to love? If not does it mean that people can’t instantly fall in love?
Put simply, yes. But that answer comes with some exception. Let’s take a scientific approach
Research supports the idea that first impressions are made quickly and tend to stick. Psychologists Janine Willis and Alexander Todorov published research in 2006 that found that people form an impression after seeing a stranger’s face for only one tenth of a second. And, while continuing to see the person often reinforced that impression, it did not change it. Other studies have shown that in just a few seconds, people make initial judgments about traits such as a person being social, accepting, competent, and confident.
When applied to your love life, if you and a potential love interest immediately find each other irresistible, that attraction is initially likely to grow. But that doesn’t mean that your first impressions gave you both the full story about each other. With time, you’ll come to see facets of each other’s personalities that could not possibly all have been conveyed in those first few seconds. So, your initial reactions may give way to real experiences that dampen your excitement.
Bottom line is, if love seems to hit you like a bolt of lightning, proceed with caution. While you can tell a lot about someone from your initial gut reaction, that assessment might be wrong, or at least incomplete. Consider “love at first sight” as the way you are feeling in the moment. Enjoy the excitement, but be sure to pay attention to who the person reveals himself to be – and remember, this happens over time, not in an instant.
If you’re lucky, that “love at first sight” feeling will grow into a deep, “forever” kind of love.
