You are going about your daily routine and suddenly you are face-to-face with a member of the opposite sex. You both stare at each other for what seems like an eternity. Each excuses themself and turns to walk away. They freeze as if a bolt of lightning hits both of them. They move closer and try to speak but talk over each other. Quickly they conclude that they like each other and find a place to sit and talk.
What just happened? Was it love at first sight? Was it Friendship at first sight? Was it lust at first sight? A combination of all of these?
One may say chemistry. True it is. What are you going to do about it?
Friendship is easy: Talk, meet, date, and share. It can grow into whatever both of you want it to.
Lust: In today's culture so many people without inhibitions and you are both free to consummate a sexual relationship.
Love: I don't believe in LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Love buds and then grows by the actions of each in the relationship (even possible with more than two in a relationship): Love isn't rock, it needs to be fed and cared for; trust increases; the desire to please your lover increases; communication on every level increases. Love can last a lifetime but sadly often it is truncated by some intrusion or internal failure: ESV Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins." You don't have to be a Christian to understand this verse do you?
