Is There Love At Second Sight?

Everyone talks about that crush that a person gives us when we see them for the first time, but there are many people who at that moment do not “feel” anything for the other. With the passage of days, weeks, months or even years, it is possible to begin to exchange the feeling for love. These cases usually occur between friends who become boyfriends or between neighbors who become husbands, for example. It is what we know as love at second sight.

Love with notice

We can see a good example of love at second sight in the lovely movie “Love with Notice.” In it: George Wade (Hugh Grant) is the owner of a construction company, a millionaire who “is useless” without his legal assistant and multi-tasking consultant, Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock).

She is a very smart lawyer, but at the same time she is always working for her boss and this generates a stomach ulcer. However, it is not his job that overwhelms him, but Wade: charming, intelligent and self-absorbed. For him, Lucy is a kind of “babysitter” who must tell him what tie to wear for a meeting.

After five years of work and personal relationship (she helped him in the divorce agreements), Lucy decides to leave the company. George at first does not want his resignation but then ends up accepting, on the condition that he get him a replacement.

After a long search, the Harvard graduate lawyer hires a colleague, June Carver (Alicia Witt), who is interested in her new boss not professionally. Even though June is very diligent as an employee, George misses Lucy very much. What follows, you must see for yourself in the film.

If you don’t like romantic movies or comedies of that style very much, you should know that beyond the story other interesting topics are dealt with, such as “love at second sight”. In this case, a man who has everything (money, success in business, a great company, etc.) and who only thinks about himself may be interested in a woman whom he has known for a long time and until then only she was his personal assistant, even though she took care of everything in his life.

This, saving the distances, can also happen in real life. Think of those couples you know. Have they all fallen in love at first sight? You may be surprised by what you find “diving” in their stories.

Or maybe you remember what your grandmother told you about how she met your grandfather: “He always passed by my block selling cakes and I always bought him. I never thought I was going to end up marrying him. ” This is just one example of the millions that exist in the world.

What is love at second sight?

The vast majority of movies, television novels or books tell us about love at first sight, that which occurs when two glances meet on the street, in a restaurant or in a park. The chemistry is instantaneous and they never part again. “They lived happily and ate partridges” as the stories end.

But that inexplicable explosion between two people who fall in love does not always occur the first moment they meet for the first time. Not everything is as simple as it is detailed to us and the great love of your life may have been around for a long time and you have not realized it. In reality, love at second sight is much more common than love at first sight.

Maybe it’s your best friend, your classmate, your neighbor, the person who runs the store where you shop every day, a colleague from work, a friend’s cousin, etc. The possibilities are endless.

It may be that the other person is not “aware” that they were made for each other, or yes, that will depend on the situation. Do not hesitate to pay more attention to what is happening around you, maybe life will surprise you when you least expect it with that love at second sight.
