Love at first sight refers to the feelings that arise from the momentary affection for the other person's appearance or a certain characteristic when they meet or contact for the first time. It is usually based on chemical reactions in the human brain, such as the release of dopamine and endorphins, which make people feel happy and high. In this case, the person feels a strong attraction and emotional impulse, so love may develop rapidly.
In contrast, long-term love is a deep relationship established in a long-term relationship. This affection is often based on knowledge of the other person and shared experiences. It focuses more on behavior, quality, and interaction, which is gradually cultivated through the accumulation of time. Due to long-term contact and interaction, the interaction between people is the result of the dynamic conservation of psychological energy, so the feelings that are long-lasting are often stronger and the relationship is longer.
In short, although love at first sight and long-term love are both a type of love, they are different in the reasons for their generation, the process of development, and the basis of emotions. No matter what form of love, it takes time and understanding, and only in this way can a stable, healthy, and long-lasting relationship be truly established.
