| Do you still have faith in love?
Posted: 10/23/2008 8:20:56 PM | ^^^^Funny you read my mind! Your post wasn't there when I took a peek
at the proceeding page! Yes, absolutely! Few people even know what love is!
If love is free of jealousy and bad feelings as well as meaning that you will truly
ALWAYS love a person, putting them first, then what does that say about all
the sheit you read about here! No, people for the most part have no concept
of love! Then there is Love of self which few have! No other love is even possible
without this!
In answer to the question. I think faith has nothing to do with it! I think it's
more about personal and spiritual growth! Then . . . Maybe! lol | |

| Do you still have faith in love?
Posted: 12/5/2008 12:33:05 PM | Dear folks,
I speak out of the mysteries of life. Love is what energizes faith. However, the love must be of the genuine sort -- a truly universal love.
The problem I see is that everyone has their own private fantasy concerning love. This is a big mistake. Love is universal, but it is not unique.
Neither I nor you have the power to define love. The Universe has already done that. Therefore, it is our place to go get the definition of love and realize that it won't be found in cults, popular opinion, magazines, TV or music.
We must be seekers. We must look to the right sources.
I do not regularly check the forums. So, send me a private note to alert me of your response and I will come back to this forum. I would enjoy moving this discussion into helpful territory. This can become a beneficial thread, if the right people will show up and participate.

Strong enough to wipe out any past hurts from their heart, willing to take all the BS from their past events and apologize profusely for the rest of your life for what someone else did to them. | |

Posted: 12/6/2008 12:42:26 PM | | I have faith in love itself and it's power to heal and to make you feel really good. As of right now I don't really have faith in men because I've yet to meet a guy who doesn't do what all the others do. They all say and do the same things, no one breaks away and shows me that love can exist and that people can be faithful and not set out to hurt you from the get-go. I do have faith in the love that exists for family. My family is great that way. Always loving and supportive. | |

Posted: 12/6/2008 5:52:33 PM | I feel the same way sometimes. I have met men since I have been dating again and I just don't feel the same way I did years ago with them. I don't really trust any of them anymore. I do really try to but My heart just keps telling me not to let them in. It seems i always find out sooner or later that it was actually right. I have net some many people who just wanna lie to you and hurt you these days. Sometimes it feels like it one big headgame for them. and I feel like I am too old to play these games anymore and i just don't have it in me to let them hurt me.
But the=n I try to keep the faith and still believe that their os one good honest true person out there for me. and there is for you too we just have to keep telling opurselves that and keep going. I mean i don't let my guard down very often for anyone and i just hope when that certain someone comes along that i will open it up enough for it to work. but it really is hard and I know exactally how you feel sometimes. i hope things get better and that you do find the right one for you and that you let him in your heart when you find him. I wish you the best of luck | |

Posted: 12/6/2008 5:55:49 PM | | You can still have hope. My boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me and I had decide that i was actually happy to be by myself and not to date. then a funny thing happened I met someone and he will be my husband! I know it is discouraging out there to date but there is someone out there for you! Keep on dating it will pay off some day...hopefully soon! | |

Posted: 12/6/2008 6:19:49 PM | | I feel exactly the same and have had the same experiences. In fact not five minutes ago I said to my daughter I think anybody worth having is taken. The thing that amazes me is guys will do anything to meet and the second I feel something ...I mean before I even have time to digest the feeling...they run. The other thing that I don't understand is we are on an online dating site to Date. Men seem shocked that we actually want to date and not just meet up for sex. I really like to stay positive but after getting my heart beaten about it is hard to believe that love is out there waiting. Good for those of you that find it but I am very skeptical. | |

Posted: 12/7/2008 8:24:17 AM | Yes, I still like to believe in love even though I've already experienced the loss of love twice in my lifetime. This experience has taught me alot about myself, the things that I do want or don't want in a relationship. Hopefully, I could make some wise decision the next time I land one.
At the moment, I rather focus on making myself happy and concentrate on improving things in my life, just being happy as a single person and do things that I've always wanted to do and make friends along the way.
I hope you will find the happiness you've been seeking all your life.
I understand now that you need to make yourself happy first before you can even love someone. A relationship will not make you complete as a whole. | |

Posted: 12/14/2008 8:24:36 PM | | Me, myself have lost all faith that a man can truly love one woman. It's like watching all these romantic movies, it is just a movie. Love like that doesn't really exist. It's a myth, like the lockness monster. I know I am being negative but right now that is how I feel. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 3:56:21 AM | | I believe in the concept of love but not that love is out there for everyone. Even with 6.5 billion people on the planet, mathematics just doesn't even cover the law of averages here. Not everyone, sadly, is destined to find love. Nor is everyone with someone guaranteed to love that person or be loved by that person. If so, count yourself lucky. Does that mean we stop looking? Stop hoping? Depends on the person. I still search simply cause I have time to kill. If I was busier, I'd not even bother, seeing as how I don't believe in love for everyone so there's not really a point. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 7:00:12 AM | | Yes I 100% believe and have faith in true love, of the deepest kind. Some find it easier than others, and it might sound rather cheesy to many but I do like to believe there is someone out there for us all, somewhere… | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 10:43:45 AM | Of course!!! I have faith in my ability to love someone because I love myself and feel like I am a person worth loving.
If a person doesn't love themselves enough to truly respect theirself then they can not have faith in the love that someone else would give them because they have not deemed theirself lovable in the first place. (sounds cliche I know but their is a reason people keep repeating the same words) lol
If someone is only looking for sex I believe it is because they are toooo scared to seek love for fear that they will be rejected in the end.
Some people would rather never reach then fear they may find what they are looking for and then lose it.
Love is a process it is ever changing and ever growing it is not perfect but it is worth it. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 2:31:06 PM | I like to think I still have faith. I admit I'm pessimistic, but pessimism does little except to make the hear colder and more bitter.
Thanks Karma, for posting that bit about fear. It's sad how often fear in any form can keep people from chasing dreams. Keeping faith is vital, I think...for a person's well being. A cold and bitter or pessimistic heart can hurt more than itself, if that makes sense. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 5:13:11 PM | Love is over.. If love exists, its not in this moment in time.
If anyone believes in true love and has found it, they wouldnt be on here telling us about it. | |

Posted: 1/21/2009 10:11:34 AM | PrettyPS.........
I'm sorry that you feel that way. I've been hurt as well......wife left me after 22 years of marrage for a younger man. I could have put love on the shelf, but I didn't. True love is a gift. It doesn't happen every day, but when it comes along its well worth the wait.
I think to give up on love is to give up on life. Of course to love another, you must love yourself first.
Yes to love is to make yourself very open to a broken heart, but that's a chance we all take in life. No one said it was going to be easy..........
Some one said: its better to have loved and lost then to never to have loved at all............."

Posted: 1/22/2009 7:49:25 AM | Izhang,
i understand what you are saying about feeling like most guys just want an affair or sex but not to sound like i am picking on you have you considered maybe they look at you that way because that is the way to put yourself out there to be perceived? i mean they can't tell you are an intelligent caring loving woman by the way you are standing in your bikini... it is purely i am hot... look at me... date me... maybe if you don't want them to look at you that way you should take a deeper look at how you view yourself... your valuable assets and put them forefront for the deeper valuable men who are truly looking for an intelligent caring woman to see, then the beauty is just an added bonus...
yes true love does exist, and yes it can be had, but yes it is also rare and hard to come by it is not something you will find when you are looking for it, it will find you but i agree with what one of the other users said, you have to love yourself first, before someone else can love you... if you want them to look deeper, you must as well... good luck fishing... and as a sister fisher... i love ya honey...  | |

Posted: 1/22/2009 5:58:15 PM | Yes, I still have faith in love.
MY time just hasn't come yet.
Thats exactly why I think Ive never been married yet. Of course Ive come close...very close but I just cant see myself settling for anyone. The unconditional love- through thick and thin, no matter what.
And- of course, GREAT SEX would be the ultimate BONUS! lol

Posted: 1/22/2009 6:06:34 PM | Openlover- ROFL....at least you are 'honest' I suppose LOL.....
I do believe in it, and haven't yet had it myself....I mean, I've felt it, but it's not been reciprocated from the other party-for one reason or another, throughout my life. I don't see it as 'settling'-because there is no such thing, when you really CARE and TRULY love that person ;-)...but then again, I'm a 'romantic' type of individual that DOES believe in it. I think it's this-defined(as it is biblically):
4 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant 5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. 7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. 9For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; 10but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. 12For now we see in a mirror, dimly,* but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. 13And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
I DO believe you MUST feel this way about 'you' as an individual yourself and love yourself unconditionally-having forgiven and move past all past experiences, mistakes, etc. that you have made and I mean 'truly' deep-down!!
So, if u have those things, why would it be 'settling'? That is the ULTIMATE! Notice: Not perfection..just the feelings are totally unconditional-do not change!!! I've seen others experience/experiencing it, so I KNOW it exists..it is my belief- for sure!!! And it's a natural thing(you don't have to 'make yourself' feel this way toward someone-it just happens-you just have to be open, ready, and mature enough to SEE it)!!! | |

Posted: 1/25/2009 8:08:44 AM | I believe in love, because I see it and practice it everyday. While I don't have a man in my life right now, I still practice love with my family and my friends. Yesterday I was talking to a good friend of mine and after we hung up I realized how greatful I am to have loving friendships in my life. I think what people tend to forget about love is that you don't need to be in a "relationship" to love.
Love is everywhere and if you are open to it and recognize it, it will come your way. | |
