Posted: 5/6/2007 2:43:58 AM | | You would have to be a pretty cold and empty person not to believe in love, whether it actually exists or not. We all like to dream! If you don't believe in love anymore, you may as well be a block of wood. | |

Love will be here til the end of time....what you choose to do with it's existence is your choice. | |

Posted: 5/6/2007 6:04:07 AM | | I do not have a problem being a bachelor. And i am 43. I would rather be in my position than to be divorced, have to pay child support, and never get to spend time with the kids i fathered. And believe me, there are alot of men out there in that situation. But as far as love, i found it. It was when i was 36. Just takes time. | |

Posted: 5/6/2007 10:39:11 AM | OP, the answer is HELL YES! Would mean far less to me if I hadn't experienced some real downs as well though. I'm much happier at 39 than I was at 27 if that's any consolation!
I think you should consider thinking of yourself as youngmanmally instead of oldmanmally though.... optimism seems to yield more

Posted: 5/6/2007 11:11:50 AM | | No I don't believe in love. It's more like a temoporary infatuation. People are satisfied til something better comes along because men and women are always looking. The divorce rate isn't as high as it is because people are in 'love' | |

Posted: 5/6/2007 2:00:34 PM | | Nope I dont believe in love I have never seen it or ever felt it So it has no proof to me. I believe that somepeople have tried to create something that does not exist so people call it love this is for the betterment of humanity much like a consience. Something that man inherently does not posses but must be tought. | |

I'm sorry you've never seen or felt love. Just because you haven't experienced it it doesn't mean it does not exist though. If someone believes it then it's real for them inarguably.
I'm not sure if love has to be taught, I don't suppose as babies we immediately love our parents but I can't personally remember. Hate is often taught so maybe you have a point. If so then I hope you are taught love one day. If you do not love other people then I guess it's harder for them to love you though! | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 10:13:47 AM | I've been married for 23 years, and if I had it all to do over again, I'd marry the same woman, absolutely. And after all these years together, our desire to be together only gets stronger and stronger.
Love is real. That's a fact. I am lucky enough to know. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 6:22:16 PM | Not only do I believe in love. I believe in the fairy tail kind…. head over heals... swept off your feet... butterflies in the stomach...that lasts forever.
The last 11 years I’ve been in two long relationships that were exactly like that. Basically perfect in everyway. Just because they didn’t last forever, doesn’t mean the next one won’t. | |

I know where you are coming from. I always thought love was invented by women to exploit men, but I know that is not true.
What I know about "love" is that people express love in variety of ways. Some focus on commitment, some on passion, ; and others on caring, respect, and intimacy. Some love based on powerful attraction to the physical appearance. Some have a playful, nonpossessive, and challeging; without a deep commitment or lasting emtional involvement. Some can develope slowy, beginning as friendship.
You must have one of these traits or combination of them, if not, then you can't be human. | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 7:09:10 AM | I most certainly believe in love 
It doesn't turn up gift-wrapped and ready-to-use, but that makes no difference... That special someone comes along and you are there for each other, no matter what.
As Leeanne said earlier, sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone & take chances - but those chances are soooo worth taking!! | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 4:36:13 PM | Yes and no... I mean "Yes" I believe it exsist for I've seen it!
That being said: I also believe that the answer can be "No" for it will not happen for everyone. In those instances for what ever reason? Be it fate, biological, or just bad luck, they will live out the rest of their lives without "Love"....
Kinda of sad if you ask me  | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 4:41:08 PM | There was a movie I caught a part of recently, and one of the recurring "themes" was that people get exactly the relationship they want/deserve. Not sure I believe that to be universally true, but it gave pause for pondering the subject.
Do I believe in love? You betcha. Do I believe there's a lot of other emotion mistaken for genuine love? You betcha more. Do I believe love has to be requited to be genuine? Nope, but it sure makes for a crappy foundation upon which to build a relationship.
From another movie: "I always figured, you gotta treat everyone like they're your friend, or like no one is." If you want to find love, put some out there and see what you get in return. It's an endless supply we're given, so use some up and see where it gets you.
You may (okay, will) get hurt, but we have an endless capacity to heal and learn and move on too. And hopefully, we get better at it as we go, so eventually, we get it right. Some get lucky early. Some never do.
Bon chance. | |
