There are many reasons why we may fall in love with someone. Some people fall in love at first sight. Others develop a loving relationship with someone they have known for a long time. I believe many women think they instinctively know when they meet Mr Right.
However, I think the cases of love at first sight are rarely lasting. Throughout our lives, we may come to love many people. But when you reflect on your relationships, you realise that deep bonds are not based on superficial appearances. Personally, I try never to judge anyone by their looks. It is much more important that you can get along well with a person.
The 'love at first sight' idea is a staple of romance so we want to experience it in our lives, too.
Yet true love is not a spur-of-the-moment emotion but rather a long-lasting affection for someone.
