Love at first sight: Do you believe in it?

Chances are that you don't believe in it. But that is because you have never experienced it. It is hard to describe it and even harder to convince someone to do it. It just happens. Earl Naumann, the author of Love at First Sight: The Stories and Science Behind Instant Attraction, finds that there is something called "love at first sight" because more than half of the people he interviewed for his study have experienced it. Now Dr. Naumann is no crook trying to sell another romance book. He is actually not even a writer of romance books. He is a business consultant and an expert in marketing and most of the other books that he has written are serious marketing related books.

Some of the other findings that he has are:

• More than half who experienced it got married to this person, and about three-fourths of those are still married.
• Two out of three Americans (of all ages and ethnic groups) believe in it.

Over the years, research conducted by LuvCube.com supports Dr. Naumann's' research. What we found in our research is that:

• Couples who fell in love at first sight felt that their relationship was stronger and more passionate. They believe that the main reason it happened this way was that they did not fall in love with someone's credentials or wealth, but the person they saw for the first time.
• Men are more likely to fall in love at first sight since they pay less attention to family history, wealth, education, etc. Men are also more likely to express their feelings openly to the woman that they feel this strong connection with. Since women often tend not to express their feelings, they miss out on the opportunity.

So if you feel that you are falling in love at first sight, don't think that you are weird or you are being stupid. Just go for it.
