Supposedly love at first sight is something that actually happens to people. You see a potential significant other across from you at the bar, during a meeting, or in passing on the street and it hits you. An immediate sensation of love overwhelms your being, your knees cave and you realize this sensation is love at first sight. Although I've never personally experienced this phenomenon, (besides with Taylor Kitsch aka Tim Riggins) some people truly believe in its possibility.
