Love at First Sight- Personal Narrative

A moment in time where two people feel a powerful connection towards one another is classified as “Love at First Sight. ” To most, love at first sight is true and can happen to anybody, however, to others, it is just a myth and can be simplified as a problem that can be solved through science or a belief they have. I myself did believe in this theory, but with time I began to understand that it could have easily just have been a sham. But then again, it also could have just been “Teen Love. ” As I grew up, I would spend a great amount of time watching television.
Normally, you’d expect a child to grow up watching cartoons and progressing from that point, but I had preferred to watch a teenage or adult program. Within these programs, I had noticed that there were many cases in which two people, whether it’d be boy to boy, girl to boy, or girl to girl, caught eyes for the very first moment in time and they went through a series of twist and turns until the end where they finally end up happily together with a strong and powerful bond. Just about a year ago, I met the love of my teenage life.
His name was Alec and he was a very handsome and interesting young man. The first time I met him was an unforgettable moment. I was with my friends at the movies and we were just standing there ordering our tickets to The Uninvited, when I feel a smack from behind me. “Sorry,” he said. I looked at him and had a sudden moment of silence. He spoke again, “Can I buy your ticket? ” “No, that’s okay. ” I told him. “Well can I at least get you some popcorn or something? ” I laughed, “I really don’t like popcorn, but you can get me a slushy? He laughed, “Okay, just as long as you let me join you and your friends,” he paused for a minute, “if you don’t mind of course. ” “We would not mind at all,” I said as I tried to hold back the biggest smile ready to come out. We stood there for a while, just looking at each other and smiling. “Well after you … What was your name again? ” he said with a smile. By the end of the movie, I was able to truthfully say that that was the greatest event of my life. “So, can I have you number? ” he continued, “You know, to call you later tonight. ” I gave him a big smile and said, “Yeah, totally! After I gave him my number get gave me a hug and said, “It was really great meeting you here. I’m glad I smacked you. ” We both laughed as we said our goodbyes. It had been six months that we’ve gone out and I couldn’t help but think we might end up having the relationship just like the program’s I’ve seen on the television. Then I noticed a sudden change of affection. It wasn’t a bad affection as to where he ignored me and tried to avoid talking to me, but it was the affection in where he wouldn’t leave me out of his sight as if he were hiding something and the guilt was caving in.

After my birthday, he invited me to spend the night at his house because his parents wanted to have a special birthday dinner just for me. I was really excited, I didn’t know that him, or his parents would go through the trouble of doing this for me. As soon as dinner was over, Alec took me to his room and sat me on his bed. He gave me the plan on what we were going to do for the rest of the night. I was very excited on what he had planned. “But there’s one thing I need tell you,” there was a long pause. “What is it? ” I replied. “I just wanted to let you know that I really do love you.
And I hope our relationship is strong enough to withhold anything. ” he said with a shaky voice. Many things were popping in and out of my head after he had said that. “I did cheat on you, this one time and it was never meant it to happen. ” When he finished his sentence, I was in complete shock. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to stay there and let out all my feelings at him. So I went with his sister and told her everything. I practically dumped out all my feelings and confusion into our conversation. It was the most horrible day I had ever experienced.
On the very first day I was with Alec, I did think it was love at first sight. No matter how much I would like to experience that moment again, I know that I will never trust that feeling again. I now know that “Love at First Sight,” is just a belief system to where people want something to fall back on or some romantic story they want to tell their children. Whether it was “Teen Love” or “Love at First Sight,” that one little spark, that determines your affection towards one another, will never return due to the experience that I went through.
