There is no such thing as love at first sight.

Rebuttals- I have not made any misconduct. before this debate was accepted, I was asked to define Love. Which I did. I was not asked to define Love at First Sight, which I did in Round 2. Scenario 2In your last argument you said and I quote, "2) Consider the following poem from a mother to her unborn child showing her deep affection for it:"I write this letter to my unborn child from the depths of my soul.You've entered my womb and made my life complete and whole.I never thought I would be chosen for such an awesome task.It is a greater blessing than what I ever could ask.I can almost imagine you in my mind.Beautiful, Happy, Bouncing, flashing a smile so kind.Feeling you flutter is a sensation like no other.It does wonders for the joy of this soon-to-be-mother!You create a glow in me I never knew I would see.It is true happiness that sets me on cloud nine manifested deep inside of me!You're my baby, my child, my heart, and my wonder.I pray we create a bond that no one can put asunder.You're a designer's original! A creation from the King!I can hardly wait for you to enter the world and see the joy you bring.Sweet baby of mine, you're a magnificent gift from above.Living proof of how your father and I have shared our love.I hope you have your father's eyesThen you will go into the world able to look at all things wise.I hope you inherit my ability to plan.With that you will be able to face all things in life as a strong woman or man.I hope you receive from your father his selfless ways.For this the Heavenly Father will bless you, as he did him, all of your days.I hope you learn from my spirit and let no one take it.Believe me you will need it in life, and many will try to break it.But with that spirit you must have your father's center.With that you will be cautious of any door you enter.I want you to have my curiosity.There's nothing wrong with questions you may blurt!But receive your father's discernment,so you'll know when to let go before getting hurt.Have my big heart; know what emotions are and how to be real.Share your father's strength so you can handle what you feel.Share my sense of humor! Laugh a lot it helps you through life.Share your father's sense of duty. Know how to be serious and take strife.I'm emotional so I tell you it's okay to blubber once and a while like your Mom.But learn to develop what your father has; an excellent sense of calm.But most of all the things I wish for your father and I to share.I wish we teach you to love, respect, strength of mind, and to care.These are my feelings, wishes and hopes for you.You make my heart and soul sing!I welcome you to the world and thank you for the joy,my little queen or king.[3]Love for this child is already established before it is born. Thus when it is first born to the mother's eyes, the mother will love it." End Quote. In your poem, the mother was talking to her UNBORN baby. So before that child was born, as you yourself said, was already established. So when a mother lays eyes her baby the second it is born, she is no doubt happy, and loves him or her, however a immediate sense of, "I love this baby!" occurs, and this is because 9 months before that day, the mother had established a love for her child. And also the child has learned from his or her mother and has also grown to love his or her mother. [1] So here we see that, Love at First Sight does not occur.Scenario 1"1) You have an online relationship with a person. Let's say by the time you see them for the first time, you've already developed a feeling of warm personal attachment or endorphin reaction toward them. Love at first sight, in this case, is confirmed."Again the same thing applies with this scenario. You have already met this person online. Before you met face to face, you have built up a love for this person, so when you see them finally face to face you, again (as with the scenario with a mother and her child) do not have a sudden "I love this person!" since you have learned about this person previously.Contention 1: Love is a Biological ProcessFeelings of love are caused by natural chemical reactions. The specific chemicals related to love at first sight are oxytocin, endorphins, testosterone, norepinephrine, dopamine and phenylethylamine (or PEA).[2]The ones we shoul probably be concerned about for the resolution are oxytocin, the 'cuddle hormone' and endorphins, the chemicals associated with feelings of attachment and comfort. These hormones, particularly endorphins, very specifically align with my opponent's definition of love which is limited to 'personal attachment' as for a parent, child, or friend. Notice that this definition doesn't necessarily confine this personal attachment to parents, offspring or friends, rather it uses these three as examples only. I digress. Since hormones are caused by chemical triggers and we cannot explicitly control the release of chemicals from within our body, if our mind decides to released endorphins or oxytocin as a reaction to specific people, we cannot help but have deep affection or personal attachment for these people. Since love is just a set of chemicals, love (personal attachment or deep affection) at first sight, or the release of endorphins specifically at first sight, is entirely plausible. In order for my opponent to negate, he must show that the release of endorphins in response to people you've never seen is impossible.There is a difference between love and lust. "Lust generally dissipates after having sex and returns hours or days later. You can feel it for several people at the same time and not necessarily feel jealous. But when you’re in love, you are very possessive. And romantic feelings don’t dissipate after having sex; in fact, they can intensify. [2]You can fell lust for multiple people at one time. You can walk down the store aisle, see a beautiful woman, or a handsome man, and you fell a lust for that person. Then you walk from aisle 3 to aisle 6 and you see another attractive person, and you feel a lust for that person. Then as you are walking out of the store, you see yet ANOTHER ATTRACTIVE person and you feel a LUST for that person. You can fell lust mor multiple people. However, being in in love, causes people to be possesive. Dating for example. When x's boyfreind is getting hit on by z, x makes sure to put it to a stop. Or when a's girlfriend is getting hit on by c, a confronts c and puts a stop to it. That is love, feelings for one person and one person only. If this "Love at first sight" really existed, you could "love" as mamy people as you want. Howver, that is not true love. As i have said before, true love, is feelings for one person, not 5 and 6 people in Winn-Dixie.[1] http://www.parenting.com...[2] http://www.chemistry.com...
