I had always heard about how people fell in love at first sight but never imagined that it could happen to me until I met this particular guy…
On this particular Saturday, I went to an event and there was this guy that came up to speak, and as soon as I saw him, I was awestruck by how handsome he looked! I was like God, you dey create o.
When the guy opened his mouth to speak, his voice sounded so nice that I couldn’t even concentrate on what he was saying but was just more focused on how he looked and how he carried himself.
Then at that moment when I heard him speak, I knew it was more than a crush but love at first sight and then it hit me that I had fallen in love at first sight with this guy!
There is a very thin line between love and infatuation and a big difference. According to the Oxford dictionary, infatuation is an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone. Love is an intense feeling of deep attraction.
Love is knowing who a person is, loving them just the way they are irrespective of their faults and insecurities, and trying to help them become a better version of themselves. Sounds like a lot of work right?
Yes, loving someone is a lot of work and if you want a lasting relationship with your lover then you need to put in the work. Love isn’t all about the butterflies, it’s all about your devotion and commitment to your lover and the relationship, it also means that you’re willing to make certain sacrifices and go the extra mile just to make your relationship work.
Love, at first sight, is an amazing feeling of attraction that you have for someone after seeing them for the first time and this can either be short-term or long-term.
It depends on who you find attractive and not on how a person looks because you won’t fall in love with every good-looking person you meet. Many people don’t know this and end up making a lot of mistakes thinking that they fell in love with the way the person looks but that’s what your mind wants you to believe and it’s not true.
Beauty, as they always say, is in the eyes of the beholder. Beyond your looks, there must be something outstanding and attractive about you for a person to fall in love with you at first sight.
Can love, at first sight, develop into a long-term relationship? Let’s discuss this in the comments and drop your questions for me in the comments too.
