We've always heard people talk about love at first sight.
We read it in books, watch it acted out in movies, listen in on the radios even, but almost nobody talks about love at first conversation.
It's easy to find attraction through sight, everybody just loves beautiful things and it is often through our eyes that we find beauty, it is in the eyes of the beholder after all, right?
I guess, “He looked charming so I fell for him” can be easier to describe more than anything else.
But, what about the first conversation?
Doesn't that usually hold the bigger pull?
I can tell from personal experience that conversations determine how I feel about people.
I am more likely to fall in love after a conversation, I mean everyone knows that words are the gateway to the heart.
It's difficult to have a definite feeling about anyone just by seeing them.
As much as sight can create attraction, a conversation is what it takes to create a real spark.
There’s something about the way people speak, the things they notice, the questions they ask, that lets you know them before you even realize it. You can sense curiosity, humor, patience, and honesty. You can feel whether someone listens or just waits to speak. And all of that, all of those little cues, come alive in a conversation in a way that no glance can ever capture.
Sometimes, it’s the simplest exchanges that leave the biggest impression. A shared laugh, a surprising thought, a word said at the right moment that just stuck. And slowly, almost imperceptibly, the impression grows. What started as a casual chat can turn into fascination.
Sight is sudden but conversation builds a story. It has a way of showing who someone really is, beneath the surface. And when you realize you want to hear more, when you find yourself thinking about their words even after the conversation ends, that’s when the spark is born.
I think that words have a way of sticking with you, long after they’re spoken. A simple sentence can shift your thoughts, make you see something differently, or spark a feeling you didn’t expect.
They stick around quietly, shaping impressions, and leaving traces where looks could never reach. Sometimes, it’s the sound of someone’s voice, the way they choose their words, that leaves the deepest mark.
So maybe love at first conversation is the truer kind of love.
