True Love does it exsist ?

[Madhuri]

Yes.Yes he can. By defintion will mine anyway True Love is the feeling of giving your all to a person IE heart,brain and synapes fire to bear it all towards our love one and...Rofl.JK

Seriously though True Love is in my opinion having a feeling when you see someone that you will sacrfice your outmost atomic structure,soul exstince/being for that person. Along with being in synic in the sence that you care for each others company and wish to cheerish every moment you have together,fearing and knowing not when your lifes will meet there end. This is my defintion of true love since to my knowledge it has never been define by science ever as of having actual substance etc.

In that case yes, I definitely believe it happens.

To me true love means actual love, as opposed to some shallow reflection like infatuation. It is the experience of someone or something or somewhere becoming part of your own self. This can happen through any sort of relationship, romantic or other.

How do you come to know that? And what happens when the true love fades or becomes downright ugly?

It is a mature feeling that lasts even after the relationship is broken. It means you always care about that person's well-being. No matter how ugly things get, you can never take away the fact that this person is part of you (ie/ part of your memories and influenced your personality and life).

True love is the same love you have for anyone or anything. For example, some people fall out with their siblings and feel hatred toward them. But most of these people would still feel a loss or great sadness if they learned that those siblings died.

When true love exists in a happy relationship it is completely wonderful. But the only reason we can call it true love is that even when the relationship turns bad, that love never fades. Love is not an emotion. It's the sense of oneness or shared self.

Are both views same?

Does the concept of True Love exsist ? Is it okay to wait a life time for that special someone to come into our life with only eyes for you ? If so how do you recagonize this and not losse what you have been searching for ? Am I stupid for still beliving in a concept most in this day in age fine outdated ?

If you will not believe in the concept "finding true love", than also you cannot run away from the hands of stupidness, That because.. "finding true love" is such a type of fruit, which one regrets after eating it, and also regrets if one doesn't eat it.

Well.. its better to regret after eating it, Right ?

 

[nameless]

if you cant love everyone(including rapists/murderers) with equal intensity, then it is nothing more than a sort of craving for pleasure. More such 'special love' to some people, the more dangerous it is.

I think "true love" is an inherently destructive concept.

1) It implies there is only one person you can build a completely satisfying relationship with.
2) It implies that if a relationship you are particularly passionate about ends, you may never find another one.
3) It implies that successful relationships are effortless.

These conceptual attachments are the top three relationship destroyers, IME. Believing your current mate is the only person you could ever be with can make you seem needy, predictable and uninteresting. Believing that losing your mate is the absolute end of your lifelong love prospects blinds you to the virtues and attractions of the other potential mates in your life. Believing that there is "someone, somewhere" with whom a relationship requires little or no effort will cause you to abandon the bird in your hand to seek phantoms you believe are hiding in the bush.

On the other hand, after a pretty huge number of relationships, I did eventually find a man I want to spend my life with who I feel is exactly right for me, and our compatibility is kind of uncanny. That said, when we met, both of us were prepared to wait forever, and possibly never commit to anyone. If you want kids, you've just got to pick somebody and go for it, because the clock is ticking.

Probably for the few who have not traded in their humanist intuitive nature for intellectualism.

True love is continuing to love someone and put in the hard work of maintaining a long-term relationship after those initial intense feelings of lust and desire fade.

This is the absolute truth.

When people say True Love it makes me wonder what the difference is meant to be between love and true love.

 

[Falvlun]

I am positive it does.

I love the head-over-heels example.

This is the absolute truth.

Or maybe, as it describes a typical relationship, it's just never knowing what true love is.

This is a good question, so I'm going to put in my two-cents worth. If by "true love" you mean the unbreakable, transcendental, spiritual connection between two people, then yes I know there is true love."True love" to me was finding that person that allowed me to overcome the fear of unconditionally loving another person. This also allowed me to unconditionally love myself. This also was instrumental in my purging fear, doubt, anger, and other self-destructive emotions that ruled my earlier days. We have been together almost 40 years and every day seems like the first. If there is such a thing as twin flames we fit the bill (it doesn't hurt that she's a bit psychic and she says we've been together in previous lives). Although I loved her the first time I laid eyes on her, this transformation did not happen overnight. We both had to work hard to get rid of a lot of useless baggage. But from the first we had a bond that can't be broken, even in death. So I think the better question is if there is such a thing as real love. Obviously I believe there is because it's the only thing in my life that is honestly true.

Firstly, can the OP define 'true love'?

A nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.

I find that people who don't understand that love is work and committment, don't generally have successful long-term relationships, or successful relationships at all.

It's always fun to overly-romanticize what one doesn't have though.

Yeah. It's the "happily ever after" part that requires the most work. Work that ends up being too much for some people to handle.

Finding a definition of 'love' that fits your relationship perfectly is extremely convenient, isn't it?

Nothing convenient about hard-won experience, knowledge, and wisdom. Sadly, a fact which impedes far too many from gaining such assets.
