Which love lasts longer -- the person that's "love at first sight," or the person that "you learn to love?"
Those of us in successful (or even unsuccessful) relationships can look back and claim it was love at first sight, but was it really? How many 'love at first sights' did you have before Mr./Mrs. Right came along...and be honest!
So is there really love at first sight? If you believe science, then yes! New research confirms that love is confirmed within a fifth of a second. Dr. Stephanie Ortigue from Syracuse University explains that romantic feelings originate not in the heart, but in the brain, which reacts to romance as if it were influenced by cocaine.
12 areas of the brain sync up to release "happy" chemicals when we fall in love, inducing feelings of euphoria.
So back to love at first sight. What about platonic relationships? What about your best friend (who happens to be the opposite sex) who watched you go in and out of relationships for years until the night you both got drunk and...
...and what about folks you meet on dating websites? It takes a while to trust Mr. Online before you fall in love, right?
So which love lasts longer?

How old is TOO OLD for trick-or-treating?
Is it just me, or are the streets of Halloween night filled with too many ghosts and goblins that are 6-feet tall?
Get this --- the mayor of Belleville, Ill, has banned high-school teenagers from trick or treating. That means nobody over the age of 12 is allowed to beg for mini-Snickers this Sunday.
"When I was a kid my father said to me, 'You're too damn big to be going trick-or-treating. You're done,’" Mayor Mark Eckhert told ABC News. Agree?
CELEBRITY TWEETS
Charlie Sheen is back in Los Angeles and a source says he realizes he messed up back in NYC, but he wants to "move on." Shooting resumes next week on Two and a Half Men.
By the way, you heard about Charlie Sheen's trashed hotel room, right? Check out the pictures-- I'm sorry, but I've messed up rooms worse than that. Overblown?
A couple of disturbing side notes about Charlie's big night -- Radar Online reports Charlie had dinner with Denise Richards at a NYC restaurant, and he brought along a call-girl. The same website also reports Sheen had been doing cocaine "for days" before he flipped out Monday night.
One more -- Charlie Sheen apparently texted the editor of RadarOnline to report that "The story is totally overblown and overplayed as far as the reality of the scenario." He went on to say "I know what went down and that's where it will stay...under wraps."
Eva Longoria is being sued over a car accident she was in last week. The "victim" says he was just sitting in the median waiting to make a left turn, when Eva, driving the opposite direction, "made a sudden lane change into the median lane" and hit him. He claims he's suffering both mentally and physically.
Royal watchers will be pleased to find out that Prince William will pop the question to Kate Middleton in February, and will be "married soon after," according to People magazine.
David Arquette blabbed more details about life post-Courtney to a satellite radio show yesterday. He says he cried after sleeping with someone else for the first time following the separation. He says it "lacked that emotional love" he had with "Court." He also has been drinking "a little more." Admitting even to drinking on the way over to the studio. (Make room, Lindsay, you'll be getting a roommate soon!).
