On one side, I don't believe in love at first sight. On the other, I do believe in lust at first sight. I think many people who claim to be in love are actually infatuated ie. are in lust with each other. Until there is a friendship foundation based on respect, trust, mutual attraction and affection, shared morals and ethics, shared interests and goals, then according to my opinion what's being experienced ain't love. Granted, you can decorate it with chocolates, perfume, and flowers and even with a marriage certificate but it's just lust. Maybe that confusion is why 6/10 marriages don't make it to the 10 year mark.
