This troper fell in love at first sight on his birthday. Then he became the girl's best friend only to discover that she fell in love at first sight with another guy. Which (I hate to admit) is a really cute story, since she and the guy were both wearing red and had the same hair color. Then they started to "casually" meet each other every where. They are like polar opposites, but everybody ( including me, sadly) just knows that they were made for each other, except them. They have this on and off, love-hate relationship, which is funny, cause sometimes they act like they really love each other, and others they act like they don't even know each other. What bugs me is that he's actually pretty cool, funny,and way more attractive than me. I HATE THAT GUY.

This would sound like a really cute movie, except it's from your perspective. This sounds like something that happened to me too, but I guess I'm just an unlucky girl.

I fell in love pretty much at first sight. She walked around the corner, hair tied up in messy knot, smiling to herself, and I knew. We both had really screwed-up schedules and had to hang around in a deserted corridor for an hour before they were fixed. There was only one seat, so we started by both leaning against the wall, chatting idly. We realised that we had both been addicted to ''{{Voyager}}'' since birth, loved the same books, music, art and television, and by the time the schedule adviser had turned up, we were sitting together on the one seat, still talking. Within a month, I had told her about my NightmareFuel past, which I would usually take years to get around to, and she said the exact right thing. She is smart, funny, thoughtful, kind, and incredibly beautiful; I honestly believe that WhenSheSmiles, she may be the most beautiful girl in the whole world. I adore her. I can only hope that she feels the same way. If you happen to be reading this, JB, I'm so sorry that I'm not brave enough to tell you that I love you in real life. You know who you are.

That is just tragic. If you never tell her, she'll eventually fall for someone else, and you'll be left alone with your regrets. You've got to man up and talk to her, or someday you'll hate yourself for the lost opportunity.

If I were that girl and I read this post, I would not be touched. I would be freaked out. You are a very creepy person.

I feel that you should find out if it is mutual. Sorting your feelings to see if you are better being friends is also good. All the best to you troper!

This troper has fallen in love at first sight a couple times, none of them really played out though, unfortunately.

My boyfriend reckons he fell in love with me at first sight. (And the evidence suggests the same)

This Troper saw a good friend of his standing next to this girl, (who's face I couldn't see), so I decided to do my usual 'jump into the middle of the group and scare everyone shitless.' What I wasn't prepared for was her. She was beautiful and it left me stunned mid-jump. I was flabbergasted with no words coming out of my mouth, gibbering when I should be conversing. My friend then dragged her away from me, and brought her to a guy who he thought would be a perfect boyfriend for her. They went out, and I kept my mouth shut, all the while secretly pining for her, so much so that sometimes that I found it hard to sleep. Then she broke with him 3 weeks later, and my heart leapt. We really got on well, spending more and more time with each other, until when I couldnt bear it any longer, I asked her out for coffee. She said No.

This troper's mother has said this happened when she met my father. They've been happily married for twenty-five years.

This troper used to dismiss this trope, until she was at a friend's house for a party on New Year's Eve, and said friend's neighbor came over. While not ''exactly'' love at first sight for ''either'' of us, by the end of the night we both wound up liking each other. It is now two days later and we honestly act as much like a couple as our friends who are in ''actual'' relationships. Suffice to say I certainly don't dismiss it anymore.

Same troper: It is now three days after I met him and we have a date next Friday.

That is ''so'' sweet.

(same troper again) It would be ''far'' sweeter if the universe would let me have nice things and if the idiot hadn't suddenly decided I was too quiet and innocent for him. He broke up with me after a month and then apparently decided approximately two days later that he was an idiot for doing so. Unfortunately for him I'm not giving him a second chance.

I do NOW. I saw this guy at the bus, just before he got on, and was struck not so much by attraction (he isn't particularly good looking) as a deep, solid, irrational affection. He sat next to me, and we talked a bit, but my damn rationality/kuudere tendencies got the better of me and I don't even know his name. When I got off, he said I was pretty. Now he's always perched at the back of my mind and the thought of never seeing him again depresses the hell out of me. This all seems awfully pathetic, and I can't help but wonder if I've lost my fucking mind. Wish me luck. -_-;

The very best luck.

This troper had a love at first sight moment, in elementary school. I end up knowing the girl for ears, until i finally spit it out. at that moment, she turned me down, but we kept our good friendship. then, in high school (2 weeks ago), she reveals that she does love me, and we are now together. i had just finished getting over the loss, and fate laughs and finally says i deserve it. i feel... overwhelmed (but REALLY happy)

I seem to be getting better at this trope with practice or something. The first time it happened, it was with setting eyes on a very cute boy who lived in the neighborhood I grew up in while helping a friend deliver papers. Though it was quite a long time before I finally got the chance to get up the nerve and excuse to talk to him, and finally ask him out. Turns out, however, that we both had insanely incompatible personalities, and the relationship only lasted a month.\\ Next up was the time I was at a Star Trek trivia contest as a contestant, and fell in love with the cute guy keeping the tally on the scoreboard. This fared a bit better, as we found out we had a lot in common and quickly became close friends (and still are). But it also turned out that we had a few clashing problems as well, plus he originally thought he was asexual and eventually turned out to be actually gay (due to a Love at First Sight encounter of his own, ironically enough).\\ Finally, ThirdTimesTheCharm, I joined a Transformers roleplaying group, playing a shy, daydreaming scientist character, and there happened to be another girl playing a different character that had a very similar personality. We decided right then we had to roleplay our two characters interacting regularly, which eventually progressed to also talking out of character with each other frequently on a more and more regular basis as we found out we had very similar/compatible real-life personalities as well. And while it took us both almost a year to openly acknowledge we liked each other, looking back on some of our old chat logs it's pretty obvious from how mushy we were that we really should have realized we liked each other almost from a couple weeks after we met. We're still together now, two years after meeting and a year after admitting our feelings.

This troper has had many occurences of this. Most recentley this trope was a little delayed since it was a dark night at a party when i met her. I was feeling down(and a little drunk)at a late night party. I was sitting by myself when this girl sees me and invites me outside and ask if i want a cigerette. We started talking and later we becme friends on facebook. A week or 2 later i was invited to Starbucks throug facebook and as soon as i laid eyes on her during daylight, i instantly fell in love with her. I hope to ask her out soon.

This troper's old English teacher knew she would marry her husband the first time she met him when they were in high school. They are now in their sixties or seventies and still love each other dearly.
