 I've always believed in attraction at first sight and actual love coming later, but a friend was proposed to after a first date, and now they've been married 20 years! So while it hasn't happened to me, it seems that it can happen.

 Depends on how shallow your definition of "love" is. To me, love requires a lot of knowledge about, and experience with, the person in question. It transcends the short skirt that initially drew my attention and becomes recognition of a good soul. It requires a knowledge of the self that only really comes with conviction. There are millions of women I could love, but not one I would love without a long time to develop that feeling.
Of course, some guys see a pretty girl and would immediately be willing to jump in front of a bus for her. I wouldn't call that love, but if you would, great.
So, no, love at first sight does not exist, but the potnetial is there if the attraction is strong enough.

Good luck =]

 It happens. Or can happen I guess, attraction that is based on mental attraction above physical attraction can easily be linked to the feeling of love, and attraction is a part of the "love" feeling as well, so in a sense those two things can be the same.
But yeah, sometimes we meet people and we just know that we love them and always will. Sometimes we were mistaken.. some times not. It's not possible to explain. So I will go for a simple: yes, love at first sight is possible.
Of course this is like believing in ghosts, few believe who hasn't experienced it themselves.

 I believe in it, even if it is a little naïve. Sometimes you can just sense that someone is special. Obviously you have to get to know them to find out if that first instinct is right, but I believe that if you both feel that instant connection then you're onto a winner :)

 I think it does, kind of. Attraction at first sight would probably be more accurate though, because I feel you have to know a person to love them. It's impossible to know someone from just sight alone. Still, some connections happen right away, that's undeniable.

 Well love is a deep emotion which normally takes time to develop, but who are we to tell you that love at first sight isnt really, i know many people that say it has happened to them and i guess love is always in the eye of the beholder.
