Love at first sight does exist but only if both parties are feeling it at the moment they both see each other for the first time. If it’s happening to only one person looking at the other than it is that lust version you mentioned.

This story is beeter wan ,,  
Twilight”

@Dale  
Screw this. This is a silly conversation. This is fanart. It shouldn’t count.
 
The only time on the actual show that two ponies looked into each other’s eyes and suddenly wanted to spend their lives together was Cheerilee and Big Mac, and that was because they’d essentially been drugged. Actual couples tend to show up already married.

@Dale  
Is it possible for someone in your little world to have problems that don’t stem from the “instant love narrative”? Maybe ones from their actual life?

@Scrounge
 
In that case, this is probably doubly or triply unhealthy for you. By feeding that instant love narrative, this comic is reinforcing the idea that you have to be ‘forever alone’ because that narrative isn’t happening to you.
 
Well, it doesn’t happen to anybody. Love at first sight is bullshit–there’s only lust at first sight, which is neither necessary nor sufficient for a relationship. Just because the fairy-tale, Hollywood love narrative isn’t happening to you doesn’t mean you’re doomed to a life alone.
 
If you said that because you’re asexual/aromantic/whatnot, disregard the previous two paragraphs. All I can say in that case is that I think you will eventually find more authentic media more satisfying, and that ‘authentic’ doesn’t have to mean ‘sad’ or ‘shitty’. An authentic story in this case could explore in depth how the two characters grow together and establish love. That doesn’t have to involve anything shitty.

@Dale  
I can’t speak for others, but as for me, why should I worry about sabotaging an attempt I don’t intend to make in the first place?

@Scrounge
 
Escapism that teaches actively self-defeating behavior is not good for you.

@redweasel  
I think there’d be bigger problems if that happened. Bricks thrown through DHX’s windows and such.
 
 
@Dale  
The real world sucks and I watch TV to get away from it. Please let me have my escapism.

@Scrounge
 
Sure it’s enough for a date. Plenty in common to try out a relationship. Declarations of love come later.
 
No one ever sits anyone down and tells them how to approach potential romantic partners. Most people have to flail around and make fools of themselves trying whatever they can think of that seems like it will work and figuring out the hard way what does and what doesn’t. When people keep seeing something in media again and again, it will insert itself into their mind as something to try. In real life, though, jumping straight to the ‘l’ word is like waving a big flag that says ‘desperate and creepy’. People refer to it as ‘coming on too strong’.
 
In short, I strongly dislike it when people do this in fiction because life doesn’t work like that and some poor sap is going to think it does and be sorely disappointed.

I swear if soarin announced in an episode that he was dating braeburn, soarin/dash fans would still say he’s too embarassed to tell her of his love.

I dunno if it’s the “blah blah” or what, but I can’t help thinking that the inside of Soarin’s head looks a bit like this right about now.
 
@Dale  
I’m not saying they should get married, but I think it’s enough for something along the lines of “Can I buy you a drink?” He’s won’t get to know her any better if he doesn’t talk to her.

@ObliviaTheChangeling
 
I’ll certainly give you that.

@Dale  
Still more believable than how relationships work in anime.. They look into eachothers eyes and suddenly, they’re a couple.

@Scrounge
 
That adds up to, what? Three or four days of exposure to each other? That’s firmly in infatuation territory.

@ObliviaTheChangeling  
She also saved his life twice, but I was trying to stick to things which suggest they know each other on a personal level by now.

And that’s never happens.

@Scrounge  
Not to mention during the Season 1 finale, she saved Soarin’s pie.

@Scrounge  
They also shared a dance during Canterlot Wedding. So you are right, they are surely not strangers.

@Dale  
Not true. Even if you assume they were never around each other off-screen, they still shared a hospital room for a bit and he was there for that whole mess with Wind Rider. He might not know her as well as some other ponies do, but they’re far from being strangers.
