Is There Really Love at First Sight?

If  you’re instantly attracted to a man, you can bet that the chances of you saying “yes” to him when he asks you out are about 99%. Let’s face it, the biggest factor in whether you’ll give a man your number and your attention is attraction.

It’s romantic and thrilling to feel that you’ve found love at first sight, but before you give in and get involved with this man, you need to find out more about him. He’s really a stranger, but because of the attraction it doesn’t feel that way. In fact you may feel as though you’ve met before, as if you already know him — that’s part of the chemistry that’s so heady.

It feels wonderful, you feel excited and alive. After all, you don’t feel this kind of instant connection with a man often, for most it’s few and far between. So when it hits, you’re going to want to hold on to that feeling for as long as you can.

This is how affairs can begin — affairs involving unavailable men. The attraction overwhelms the messages of warning your brain is trying to send you. The pull is so strong that it just feels right, it feels like it was meant to be.

Your mind will imbue him with all kinds of wonderful qualities. He’ll seem to beeverything you’ve been looking for in a man. And as you revel in the chemistry between you, you’ll turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the messages your intuition is trying to tellyou. If he’s feeling as attracted to you as you are to him, that’s just putting oil on a fire.

If you’re lucky, the two of you will be a good match and live happily ever after. But when there is this kind of intense first attraction, you may end up swayed by your feelings and sending your common sense out the window.

Choosing a man to become physically and emotionally involved with is not something you should take lightly. When the chemistry is strong the tendency is to get involved too quickly. And as time passes all the red flags you ignored at the beginning will begin to get your attention. But by now, it may be too late, you’ve given your heart and become entwined with this man.

Disengaging yourself, even after a short time can be traumatic and painful.

So this is a warning about love at first sight. If you give in to it fully, you are gambling with your heart. Hold off and try to savor the deliciousness of delayed gratification. It can save you years of regret and a broken heart.
