What is it like, love? Strong, bright, romantic, real ... But for some reason, the definition of "love at first sight" seems to be the most magical. It is about her that they dream of in childhood, young people imagine her. I came - I saw - I fell in love, and nothing else, and the words of the parents that the person must first be recognized seem to be terrible stupidity. Why is this idea so attractive? Is there really love at first sight, or is it the same pipe dream of humanity as the principle of freedom-equality-brotherhood? For everyone, the answer is different. But psychologist helped us figure out the general patterns.

Personally, I never fully understood what "love at first sight" means, what period of time can be considered "first sight". Necessarily - just saw it and that's it? And if he exchanged a few words, is that something else? Love "from the first word"? According , it also happens that falling in love literally begins at first sight. “A person sees another person and something in his heart (although, in fact, in the unconscious), as they say,“ kicks ”, and he understands -“ this is mine. ”But there are other situations. the features of his interlocutor, hears a voice, observes facial expressions, and very quickly all this seems to be loved, close and dear. This can happen in 10 minutes or an hour. But still it can be considered "love at first sight"

According to the psychologist, in principle, any person is capable of falling in love at first sight, but most often this is characteristic of impetuous, optimistic and energetic people.They easily become infected with new ideas, hobbies, plans, people ... "However, it happens that such a feeling can overwhelm a person of the opposite nature: closed, shy, inexperienced and inexperienced in relations with the opposite. This will happen if he suddenly meets "Your ideal" is an image drawn to yourself in advance

Scientists are not yet able to explain what exactly is happening to a person at this moment. "One has a burning erotic attraction, the other - bright, indescribable emotions, the third - a feeling with high meaning, and maybe all together," - explained the psychologist.
