“I don’t believe in love at first sight, I believe in lust at first sight. That lust is that initial attraction, that chemical reaction, which is transient, which is ephemeral, which doesn’t last. From there are you able to work upon into a foundation to build that into a love? Into something that is everlasting or lasting a bit longer? But obviously you have to have some type of physicality, some type of physical attraction to get you two together, but love at first sight? No way. No.”
“Well, when I met my wife many years ago, when I was first introduced to Jean (Danker), she was 15. There was no love and there was no lust.”
“I believe there’s lots of opportunities for magical moments in a very short time and I think a lot of times that can be, not mistaken, but viewed as love at first sight. I think Allan puts it very well in that it gives you a foundation to build something on top of. So in that immediate short moment it may feel like love at first sight, it’s a very magical moment, getting together, but whether it’s going to lead on to something more is hard to tell.”
“I do because I married my wife one month after I met her!”
“Love at first sight…honestly, that’s a tough question. Yes and no. I’m going to play a little bit of teetering the line here. When I met my girlfriend, I thought she was a beautiful girl and she’s wonderful but love at first sight? That’s a hard one because I guess if it was love at first sight, I would’ve been married one month after I met her, for example as James has just said. I’ve always found that in a lot of relationships that I’ve been in through my lifetime, I find the beginning of it is always lust. You lust for someone first, there’s that game of a chase. There’s always that attraction, that physical attraction then there’s emotional attraction, then there’s intellectual attraction. You know, does she tick all the boxes? But I find in the beginning it’s more that lust for each other, which then can develop into love.”
