Is it true? After seeing and you just fall in love,that's it? I disagree seeing is just one part?
One really fall in love after spending time together then it not love at first sight?

Some couples have fallen in love at first sight, In Person. If you see someone online it is infatuation.

One doesn't "fall " into love or out of love.
One CHOOSES to love or not love.
There isn't some magical secret regarding love or the act of love.

It is all a choice one makes .

I'm very skeptical.

A fair number of people claim that it happened to them, but I've also noticed in my "historical researcher" mode, that there are tons MORE people who have proclaimed that they "fell in love" with someone instantly, but that things didn't work out.

What I figure is, that lots and lots of people THINK they feel instant synergy with someone. And that if, by a combination of chance/luck, and the fact that they do know a certain amount about themselves... and what know they want in someone else...things actually do work out...they will ATTRIBUTE that result, as proof that "love at first sight is real."

It's a bit like the way that people who believe in various superstitions, find that every now and then, bad stuff DOES happen right after a black cat goes by, or they walk under a ladder or whatever.

So in a funny way, I would say that love DOES occasionally happen after first sight...sort of, but at the same time, I adamantly think there's no such thing as Love At First Sight.

It's partly because of the human tendency to project certain traits onto a largely unknown quantity. When you see someone attractive you imagine that person to possess other favorable traits. You create in your mind what that person is without knowing the reality. I suppose every once in a while someone might come close to creating an image the person can live up to; otherwise it falls apart quickly.

Admit to being initially visual, but senses 2,3, and 6 have to happen before we get to 4 and 5 (touch and taste).

The biggest concern I have with the idea of "love at first sight," is the harm I have seen the belief in it, cause to many people.

As with all magic-based beliefs, when it is only serving as a charming bit of fun, it's nice enough.

But some people end up thinking that they are somehow defective human beings, because it hasn't happened for them.

And some people who would better be described as "romantically sloppy" (or even worse names), have used the idea of "love at first sight," to excuse the most vile and dishonorable mistreatment of their immediately prior mate. And for that matter, I have seen it claimed, plenty of times, by people who in reality, simply wanted to use the other person's belief in it, to trick them into a relationship which was never honorable to begin with.

It's a little like belief in Santa Claus, in a way. As a fun game, it's fine. People can play dress up, and perform rituals that everyone has fun with. But it can also be used to abuse, to avoid responsibility, and can accidentally confuse small children about the nature of the real world.

Love at first sight...Is it true?

Sort of.
In the sense it's "possible."

Love isn't an absolute, though.
There isn't a hidden "love" switch in your head that once triggered it's always on and can never ever ever be turned off, or lose/gain efficacy or purpose.

Personally, I see it kinda like catching a cold.
Some people at certain times, it takes a week for a cold virus to overcome the immune system and they show minor symptoms over time until it's full blown.

The next year, same person, the conditions can be just right so they're literally fine one day, grabbed the wrong door handle, and the next day they've got a full blown cold and all the symptoms to their nadir of nastiness.

Sometimes, with the same person, it's psychosomatic, they're so scared of getting a cold, or they mistake an allergic or dust sneeze with getting a cold, they start making themselves feel the symptoms when there's no real underlying cause for them.

It's "possible" to fall in love at first sight.
Doesn't mean in every case it's true, doesn't mean anyone wins a special prize or that their love is somehow "better" than any other, or that it's guaranteed to be a successful, healthy, forever and ever relationship.

Love is not god playing hide and seek that once you find it you get a magic prize that makes your life easier and better without any effort or thought on your part, turning you into a magical being made of pure energy, happiness, guarantees, and joy.

I disagree seeing is just one part?

"Seeing" is just shortcut terminology that comes from a biased perspective from humanity.
Sight is the sense that forces people to focus their personality on something.

When you see a red octagonal sign, or fire light, do you stop? Do you look for potential danger?

Why do you think ambulances and cop cars have sirens rather than just subtle whispers of "pardon me, 'scuze me, coming through?"
What causes a more serious reaction in you to focus on someone rather than also noticing your surroundings, seeing someone wildly and violently grab their chest with a look of extreme pain on their face, a scream, or sitting there absolutely normal and saying "pardon me, I believe I may be having a heart attack, could someone please call an ambulance?"

All your senses are in play, but if you want to get someone to focus on something at a particular time, it's easiest and takes a minimum amount of effort, to trigger them via what they see.

People have an implicit bias towards sight, that is reflected in language.

One really fall in love after spending time together then it not love at first sight?

Maybe.
Maybe the "love" is what motivated them to continue spending time together.

Sometimes I think, even love is an illusion shocked
