i don't really believe that you could fall in love at first sight. love is something that occurs over time as you get to know someone, share interests, and build that personal connection.
SSS si the only one who strikes me as actually understanding what constitutes "love."
Love is something you do, it is a choice. It represents an emptying of oneself, to varying degrees, for ther benefit of another or others. It is confused with the feelings of attaraction two human beings may or may not feel for each other. It isn't necessary to feel "love" in order to love. We can't always control how we feel, but one can control how well they love someone.

Someone I once knew (and to this day consider to be one of the wisest people I've ever known) explained "love" to me as follows:
"Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love does not envy.
Love does not boast.
Love is not proud.
Love is not rude.
Love is not self-seeking.
Love is not easily angered.
Love keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
Love always protects.
Love always trusts.
Love always hopes.
Love always perseveres.
When you can replace the word "Love" in the above sentences with your name, then you'll understand what true love is."
I have yet to fully accomplish this myself...and doubt I ever will.
Given the multitude of definitions for the word "love" ("I love my parents", "I love my car", "I love my job", I love my spouse", etc.), I'd say "love at first sight" is pretty much impossible.
The only "love at first sight" situation I can envision this to be applicable to is when a parent sees their child for the first time. It would seem to pretty much rule out "romantic" love.
FWIW

If anyone can replace love with their names in even half of those things, that sickens me. Some of them especially. "Always trusts". Hah! You're looking to get bit in the ass. That shit is in the bible, I believe. My friend showed me that, or something remarkably similar once before.
It's a bunch of bullshit. Love is just like reality...perception. It's what you make of it. Love doesn't have to be someone who rejoices in truth. Fuck. Ignorance is bliss as far as I'm concerned. And always hopes? Too much optimism, nuh-uh.
Too idealistic, not enough realism there.
