...On "Love at First Sight"...

"Met her at a carnival fair,
She wore a green dress and everybody was there,
Felt out of place when she looked into my eyes..."

It's been long argued if falling in love "at first sight" can truly be genuine. It normally starts with physical attraction, it has to, since you wouldn't look at someone you don't like looking at. Then there's a feeling of wanting keep looking at the person, hence, you think it's love, but it's probably infatuation, mere physical attraction, or a even a challenge that you might be able to hook up with him/her.

These things, one only learns after something actually becomes of the "first sight" thing. They'd tell their friends that "it was love at first sight" while they're happy, and will dismiss it as nothing more than infatuation, confusion, or even just plain physical attraction when they decide to end it all.

So now, I was asking myself, what is an ideal manner in which you might meet your "true" love?

If you meet in a bar, have fun, make a relationship out of it, would you be able to handle her occassional pleas for a "girls' night out" with friends, knowing full well that you met her in the same manner?

If you meet her at a drinking session and eventually end up together, would you be so clingy as to be there whenever she says she's gonna go out to drink?

If you meet her in a library, or someplace you don't normally go to, do you think you can actually work out, knowing that you don't have the same interests and that you're only interested in what she's interested in because you're interested in her?

The point is, if you meet him/her somewhere that you enjoy, it's not hard to imagine him/her meeting someone in a similar fashion. If you meet him/her somewhere you don't, then it seems your thing wasn't meant to last anyway.

Wala lang. Random thought. Feeling ko mahaba pa to at mas mei sense, but somehow, I got lost in my train of thoughts, and ended up with this. Sayang naman kung ndi ko pa i-post..
