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

Many concepts of "true love" exist.
What do you mean by "is it okay" ? As lng as you are not hurting anybody else, i don't think it is inherently wrong. Now, about hurting yourself, that would have to do with your expectations for this "true love" of yours. For starters, being loyal is a willful endeavour, not something that poetically just happens. At least for most people, you stillbecomearoused by other people even while yu have your partner. A more realistic expectation might be to be with someone who finds you valuable enough tobe faiful to you besides his lust for others.
There are a lot of people in the world with whom you could be compatible, not just one. No one is perfect, but to have a happy relatinoship I would look for someone who has affection towards you, tries to listen and comunicate with you in a constructive manner when there are problems and is able to trust you while being trustworthy. Finding a personwith such characeristics can indeedbe extremely hard though. Then again, people do evolve.( just not always into what we expect them to evolve or when they want to evolve or into what they want to evolve)

I think it is very hard to find a "true love". For example some people think they have love, but maybe are attracted to things like money or just your physical appearance. if someone with more money and who is more beautiful is there they start to love the other person.

For me, it's more like I found a relationship that fit my definition of love.

Love is a feeling of compassion and deep understanding on a extreame level when said relationship is established,while sex is mostly for emotional and physical pleasure.
But one can equate the two? As in " -- i made glorious love ----"?
Yes. Usually, if I may add.

Proof as to the concept and act of true love is merely a dillusion on a more consiouse level ?
I do not know really as to when the love really becomes true as opposed to being a temporary illusion. I, like you, believed in a love of the kind " ---having a feeling when you see someone that you will sacrfice your outmost atomic structure, soul ----". And that idealism no doubt caused some happiness but caused equal or worse sufferings.
I found the following which reflects the kind of need I also had (or have) and this kind of need , IMO, makes one feel "I will sacrifice everything."
"I feel extremely vulnerable, and I need help a lot. A lot. I suppose I feel mainly I need the help of a woman. I'm continually searching for this woman. They mother you, they're great in bed, they're like a sister, they're there when you want to see them, they're not there when you don't. I don't know where they are. Maybe they're around somewhere. I'll find one, one of these days."

What I mean is that there is some possibilty that we may mistake our neediness as an idealistic love. But I may be wrong altogether.
I liked the post of BSM1.

Why have the mothering and sistering aspect mixed in with the woman your searching for ? Sought of weird dont you think ?
I just wanted to share this with you.
Atharva Veda 9.2.19
Love was born first
the gods cannot reach it,
or the spirits, or men....
Far as heaven and earth extend,
far as the waters go,
high as the fire burns,
you are greater, love!
The wind cannot reach you,
nor the fire, nor the sun, nor the moon:
you are greater than them all, love!"
Why would you want to sacrifice your atoms and your soul and your existence? Is it less weird?

I cannot say, because a man doesn't love his mother, as a child doesn't look at gender differences, and his mother's appearance, doesn't seem to be why he loves her. It does seem, that the mother loves the child. Or, perhaps, the mother identifies completely with any infant. People don't look at the mother, when her infant is in appearance.

Love is also for emotional pleasure o.o
