Instant attraction, maybe. Love? No, not unless you've already communicated in some other way before you lay eyes on each other.

Love at first sight?

from sight alone, no. after a 1 min conversation? maybe. 
has it happened to me? love? yes. at first sight? no.
has it happened to me? love? yes. at first sight? no.
I thought it was a bunch of crap, until it happened to me.
For the record though I wouldn't say "first sight" but I would say knowing in an extraordinarily quick amount of time. (in my case I'm talking weeks)
Weeks, or even minutes, I can understand. Instantaneous? No way. That's something else.
I think I'm in the 'skeptical' group. Surely it would only be physical attraction at first, but then I never saw it the way Lau mentioned.
In this case then, I guess I couldn't say really since I've never been in that position before.
Yep, absolutely.
though it's me so be prepared for a story ... bear with me too!
Back in secondary school I had a dream, I met a girl with long brown hair at an educational gathering place (college, uni, wasn't specific. just kids with bags and no uniforms so it wasn't school). I followed her around for 3 days, then she followed me for 3 more. There was a huge fountain in the background *shrugs* of the area. I told an ex-girlfriend and she said "James, was the girl me?". I laughed and said no I wasn't even planning on going to college at this point.
A year or so later and I decide to go to college after all. My first day there... Who should I see? A perfect representation of her from my dreams. Sat infront. We made our way through into the computer room to sort out the course paper work.
I sat at the back, she sat next to me. Heart was pounding. I asked her if she had a pen.
6 days later my dad was offered a job in Ireland so we flew out for a week to look into property and everything there. I missed her badly. But we really stuck with each other when I got back. Everyone knew we were going to end up together, 2 months later I asked her out and we've been together for 4 and a half years now we just got on so perfectly, she's my best friend. We've been through so much too, and I've given up so much to be with her (she's catholic. work it out ). Whenever I see her I get the whole lust thing, but the Love has always been there even when we're apart (which is most of the time at the moment). I can't imagine being with any other girl.
eep! that was long. But yea. Soon as I saw her I knew it was going to last. Whether or not that's love... I dunno. But I certainly knew she would be very important to me.

At first sight....no but my heart did do a double dip the first time I met my texting buddy.
Love fades....lust fades as well but try to get the most of it whiles it last...pure sugar for that amount of time.

No. Real love requires knowing the person - you can certainly be immediately attracted to a person, even very strongly attracted - and not necessarily in an overtly sexual manner, but actual love requires knowing the person.
