Posted: 3/12/2007 3:39:49 PM | Me,
I'm cynical about true love simply from past experiences . . . . . . . .
But I'm not a closed book and ever the optimist
Come get me girls | |

Well, it should be.
What would one have to do....to prove "true love"......?? | |

True love only exists with the Lord our Saviour.

Posted: 3/12/2007 4:02:20 PM | | I think I'll answer for the average guy, and I think most will agree. Guys who are on the shorter side, have a few extra pounds, or even the opposite description, does not have the greatest job....etc, do not get the first chance at "true love". We all know the types of guys that most women will give that chance to. | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 5:54:32 PM | | to me love is just a word that covers a number of feelings......attraction, lust, desire,companionship and so on.....its all to do with what you have in common that makes a good relationship last. the more you have in common the more you understand each others needs because they would be your own needs. | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 6:04:16 PM | It definitely exists. Love is an emotion there is no end too, it can keep on growing. Every once in a while you see it. I do believe a lot of people think they are in love, but move too quickly into intimacy, & what they think is love, is really more of a lustful attraction. In time, when the relationship loses that feeling of lust & excitement, people are left with a feeling of emptiness. Maybe in those cases, love was never really what it should have been in the first place.
You have to really like the person you are in love with. There is such a difference. You can have one, without the other. That relationship won't last.
If you do not believe in true love, you will never most likely experience it.

Posted: 3/12/2007 11:15:36 PM | The term "true love" is redundant. Love is true, otherwise it wouldn't be love. You might as well ask, "Does love exist?"
It does. | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 2:55:17 AM | | It depends on what you would call true love.If your referring to till death do us part, his and her towels, breakfast in bed, knight in shining armour love, then no.Thats called the honey moon phase, and it lasts anywhere from 3 months to about a year and the reality slaps you in the face. Life is too short and I'm beyond sorry for what your x-husband has done to you, but I commend you for getting back out there with a glimmer of hope. Your husband wasn't getting something from your relationship, and it wasn't just sex, you may not know and he may not even be able to explain. But maybe you need to go back and and re-examine why he cheated, not saying it is your fault by any means!!!!!I think a huge problem with today is that cheating has become so frequent and desentisizing, it's almost acceptable.And the fact you put up with it twice lets him know that he can get away with it. The quote"once a cheater, always a cheater" applies here. We all want to believe that someone will love us enough to never ever even think about cheating, but it's like telling a kid he can't put his hand in the cookie jar, it's too tempting. True love to me, is sticking by someone no matter what and working it through, with a few exceptions of course. It's just too easy to give up and look elsewhere. True love may exist, but I have yet to see it. With the moral decay of society, chivarly may just be a thing of the past. | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 3:02:24 AM | | oh and to jaymann, us woman get the sh#$*y side of the stick too. Any of us that aren't skinny enough, or smart enough, or witty enough, or tall or short or blonde or..............................The list goes on!!!!!We are much more likely to settle than guys because we are much more able to see through exteriors, due to our talent at communication. I speak for all women when I say I'd rather be with someone who really "gets" me in comparison to some handsome buff guy. | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 4:10:01 AM | I fit the aforementioned"average guy" description.
I'm also a huge dork, a romantic, and have a very strange sense of humor. (All of this should have been obvious for those of you that have been playing along at home  )
Anyhow, while the "average guy" traits don't seem to be a problem, and the "romantic descriptor seems to be helpful, the strange sense of humor and the dorkiness make it somewhat difficult to get out of the initial "What the hell is wrong with you!?" period of meeting someone.
Still, the fact that I've had at least a small share of people that were interested in me shows that I am not "undate-able."
"Average guys," dorks, and unbelievers everywhere, remember: many, many women are romantics at heart. If you've gotten them on more than two or three dates, they WANT to fall in love with you. It's all a matter of opening up, both of you deciding if the match works, and letting them. (I could be totally off base, but that's my experience.)
Also, for those who are totally in doubt as to their date-ability: I read a story recently about a snake-charming tattoo artist who found her match in a fire eater who also stuck silverware up his nose. (The spoons from Waffle House were, apparently, his favorite.) If two such people exist and are capable of meeting each other and falling in love, there is hope for us all. | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 8:32:52 AM | | In my opinion true love is that when you think of someone the earth moves, In my opinion true love should be forever, In my opinion true love should not fade ever. Well sofar I haven't felt the earth move, I haven't met somebody that I want to spent my life forever with, and definately I have never experienced true love... So Jenifire till that happens true love for me really is bullocks... Sorry... | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 8:49:29 AM | Of course true love exists, in sacrifice. Other than that, in fairy tales.
Love and true love are a different thing than Eros (in love).
True love is between any humans, not lovers, and has nothing to do with sex or gender or dating or SOs or partners.
Love thy neighbor, love humanity, love nature, love the world. That is true love.

Posted: 3/13/2007 1:12:33 PM | Not unconditional love. we have as a society learned to over analyze everything from our pets to work, to friends, to our childhood, to our parents, our children.. and the list can go on and on.
as liberal and non judgemental as people say.. we are as a society becoming more judgemental all the time. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 12:12:37 AM | Love is true love went it is unconditional, love is not unconditional went it is preferential.
Actually love is not a feeling. Love instead is an act. Of course there are different types of love ...
"Love does not bend with the remover to remove,
love is an ever fixed mark
for every wandering bark
no matter its height be taken....love does not alter when in alteration finds."
Sort of.....that was a sonnet from shakespeare proving that love is a constant 'acting for others and self'...habit though is quality, so that love acts to perservere against all obstacles. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 12:22:48 AM | What acts to perserve is something else. I think this is what I would call intentional. In that respect purity of heart is to will one thing, often the fulfillment of the longing of another or others, without any more reward than to see results of the fulfilling.
That could be anything as long as it is done with joy and is without expectation of personal rewards, or getting something in return, which is useful in trading, but would be a form of preferential love.
The will itself is also called intention as long as it guided by dreams, and visions, but I dont mean visions of things that do not exist, but of something that is willed into being, say an appreciation or a revealing or discovery....
Those with high levels of curiosity can be found in the most unusual places....
