Holy philosophical feelings about love, Batman!
If love is blind, then how can we believe in love at first sight?
Love is built on a foundation of trust, and the bricks and mortar include mutual respect, honesty, and compromise among many, many others.
When you first meet someone, you could be instantly attracted to them because of the way they look or their mannerisms, but you don't know anything deeper than that. You don't know whether he'll be there for you when your grandmother has passed away or whether she'll stick by you through a major surgery.
The only way you can find this out is by spending time together and building a relationship.
That being said, I do believe that love is blind. Love looks past age, race, gender, wealth, etc., because you can't help who you fall in love with. Sometimes it's someone you've known your entire life, and sometimes it's someone who is absolutely not your type, yet you've spent time with that person and you end up falling in love.
So yes, love is blind, and those who believe in love at first sight have also probably seen leprechauns and unicorns.
