However, it is not exactly what you would call love. With love, we're talking about things like intimacy, tolerating somebody's flaws, seeing them as a whole person and still liking them and so on. That's a lot of stuff that generally doesn't happen in the first moment you look at someone. What you're really just feeling is actually just a result of having strong attraction to that person. But then, you're attaching attributes to that feelings like: "This is meant to be,""This is love at first sight,""This is something inexplicable,""It felt electric therefore it must be love."
So when can a spark turn into a real thing?Well, it's tricky considering there's a big trap that people who think they've just experienced love at first sight tend to fall into the phenomenon known as the "halo effect". basically when you are attracted to someone, it's like your mind places a little halo over their head. You place them on a pedestal, and as a result; they can do no wrong in your eyes - which is problematic for multiple reasons.
