Love At First Sight
Interview
with Earl Naumann, author of Love
At First Sight
Mike
Carruthers:
It would appear that love at first sight really exists.
Earl
Naumann:
Something over 40% of the people randomly in the United States,
have experienced love at first sight. So, the message has to
be that it's a lot more common then what people might perceive
it to be.
Earl Naumann,
author of the book Love
At First Sight
One of
the reasons we did this research was there's an article about
two years ago in USA Today and they interviewed 15 or so of
these relationship experts and virtually all of them said that
love at first sight doesn't happen. They said, you know, maybe
lust at first sight, maybe infatuation, but it's something that
dissipates and goes away quickly, that love takes a long time
to develop. Our research indicates that just isn't so.
So what
does love at first sight feel like?
The emotions
that were most commonly stated were excitement, good chemistry
or fit, a lot of them felt an instant lasting attachment, a
lot of them felt exceleration, some of them felt a wholeness
or completeness, those were the top emotions that people identified.
Earl believes
his research conclusively proves the existence of love at first
sight, and says the relationship experts who claim it doesn't
exist have nothing to back that up.
The problem
is, a lot of these people who make those opinions their basing
their views on their own experiences and so they can't relate
to an experience they haven't had. So these people are talking
about things they have not experienced, that is when they say
it doesn't happen. They're talking about things they have not
personally experienced, and since their world is flat they assume
that all worlds are flat.
