Love at First Sight Theories

Over the years, I've had a lot of people ask me if I believe in love at first sight.

Love at First Sight...
Why does it happen?
Below are 10 different theories... Quite interesting, some of them....

1) The "Opposites Attract" Theory
Like two poles of a magnet, when two people that are really different comes into close proximity of each other, an invisible pull occurs.

2) The "Greek Mythology" Theory
Our ancestors once had 2 heads and 4 arms; but because they did something to offend one of the gods, that god punished them by splitting them down the middle, resulting in the creation of humans. As a punishment, we are condemned to spend our lives searching for our other half. So when we find them, we feel that "excitement".

10) My Theory
That all these "Love at First Sight" theories are just a load of hooey that a bunch of sex-crazed, horny people made up to justify boinking each other's brain's out.
Believablility: 200%

What? Not happy with my theory?
What do I REALLY think about this whole "love at first sight" stuff?...

Alright...

I believe that there is ONLY ONE "perfect person" (aka soulmate, or "other half") out there for every person. However, there are a lot of people out there who's similar to that "perfect person", so some people just end up settling with someone who similar to that"perfect person". So my conclusion is this.... People get that "special feeling" when the meet "THE ONE", or someone who reminds them of "THE ONE".
