The “love at first sight” phenomenon exists because love has always been connected to the sight. Oftentimes, it brings confusion to the people who are in love.
This is further confirmed by the romantic-comedy soliloquy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” of Shakespeare that has a scene of confusion, disorder, and irrational dream.
A young woman Helena is lovesick because her beloved Demetrius has dumped her for falling in love with her friend Hermia. Demetrius finds the short and brunette Hermia more attractive and lovelier than the tall and fair
"LOVE LOOKS NOT WITH THE EYES BUT WITH THE MIND AND THEREFORE IS WINGED CUPID PAINTED BLIND."
So i figured that SIGHT tends more towards ATTRACTION rather than love. Thus, "attraction at first sight" is the appropriate phrase. Love will soon be established when it is no longer the human eye that is looking at the person we are attracted to but the mind of our very own heart, (emotional intellect) the only organ that can see the inner beauty.
My college professor has aptly remarked that Love is NOT really blind. It is sometimes the lovers who are actually blind. If we apply logic in the false belief "love at first sight" or "love is blind" it will go something like this:
God is Love. (1 John 4:16)
If love is blind,
Therefore, God is blind.
If love is blind,
Therefore, God is blind.
