Love at first sight?

Do you believe in love at first sight? I never really thought I did...obsession at first sight? Absolutly. Love, though, not so much. I've always pictured a cartoon with bulging eyes, his heart beating out of his chest and his jaw unhinged hanging open. Sight alone is not something that can rattle me enough to evoke an emotion like love. But something in me has shifted, and although I'm still not sure about the idea of falling in love with someone the second you lay eyes on them, I do believe that there can be an underlying, unexplainable connection between two people without ever really speaking to someone. I'll admit that I have had obsession at first sight, and I've pursued those with full force and anxiously to see what they have in store for me. But this time is different, this time I have a rising feeling in me that there could be something so right about a random person I've spoken to maybe twice. This time I'm almost too scared to make a move, and I don't want to make a move, I want to slowly learn. I'm not my usual gung-ho self, and my intuition is telling me that my shyness means something. Love at first sight. I once read that the first couple times you see someone your instincts automatically kick in and send you subliminal messages. The key is to know what to listen for, and not blow it off as silly or coincidence. People are drawn to certain other people for reasons, so when that pulling in your gut starts, follow where it leads. I'm learning to listen more carefully and to remember that if no one took a chance, none of the things that make us feel alive would ever happen. So to hell with the people who think you're crazy for chasing an instinct. When your heart is open to the world, the world will open itself to you.
