Is it something you work on? Or it just happens and then why do we desis figure if it doesn’t occur in the first meeting or two, then it wont ever happen?
Some of the guys I’ve fallen for are people I became friends with and then saw how wonderful they were as people, not because I thought they looked hot to begin with.
When I was [much] younger, I always crushed on the guys that were in my class. Obviously I wasn’t in love but a lot had to do with looks, most very d-bags to begin with.
And now that I think about it, the reason I even talked to my now-fiance in our early stages was because he was crushing on me so obviously and he also happened to be freaking hot. But even then, I actually fell for him after we became friends. I finally said ‘I love you’ 3 months after he had said it to me. And then when I fell, I fell hard.
And now we’re best friends. So I guess it was a mixture of looks+being friends. I will be honest, I wouldn’t have taken it seriously if I was not attracted to him.
Too much earnestness in this thread, can't make jokes...
I think there is definitely something to the notion of chemistry between two people, although it may or may not be apparent within initial meetings. Love is too broad a term, IMO. I think love encompasses both the initial attraction, as well as long term attachment and commitment. So to answer your question, I think love is both, something spontaneous as well as attachment that's a result working at it and finding out about someone's personality and character.
I think chemistry is very important for me...but i never define that as love. You can't compare something that just developed over a few days to a lifetime worth of effort.

Love takes time given there is consistent attraction present.
Where’d you get THAT crazy idea from? You’ve got it all wrong, my friend. It’s if the love doesn’t occur after the first baby or two is born, then it won’t ever happen.

PCG, you are answering your own question in second line. You can not say final word about someone in first meeting. You can superficially analyze.
