Does any one beleive in true love. I do not. Just don't think it's out there. not now a days

I do. I am married to the person that I truely love. It snuck up and bit me in the *ss when I wasn't looking.

love is in everything, its just not always the kind your looking for so you sometimes have to search a little harder.

 

and since sam started the boasting i guess its ok to quote something my fianceé said she wanted to say to someone last night;

':P i found my soulmate (but i hope you find yours too someday)'

I believe it exists. I found my soulmate when I least expected it. I think you know it's true love when you'll do just about anything to be with them. I know I did, I moved across the Atlantic, away from everything I knew. :D

I believe it exists.  Have fun storming the castle boys!

is a soul mate the same thing as one's true love though?  not 100% convinced on that count.

 

i dunno if i believe in it or not.  maybe any love that works out is true love...

The only way to know if it is true love is if it stands the tests of time. If you go through rough patches and you come out stronger in love than you were before, then it is true love. Or if you go through rough patches, do you feel more distant?

 

That is why I don't believe in True Love at Firstsight. How do you know it is true when you first see someone. There isn't true love at first sight but true lust. Now the lust can develop into true love over time, but of course, that takes time.

I have found my true love. He's been mine for 7 years now, and like Sam said, me and bf's rough patches has made our love stronger so I have a pretty good feeling he's the one  ;D

 

Not sure about the soulmate tho.

I've bounced around a bit over the years on this.  I don't believe in soulmates, or True Love.  I believe that a major component of Love is commitment, and that we all have the choice whether or not to stand by a person we love or loved.  That choice is a measure of our character.

 

Steinberg's Love Triangle is I believe a good tool for recognizing and understanding romantic love.

I've heard that love is an acquired thing, that there is such a thing as true love, but that it is a decision made by both parties to truly love the other. Not sure how much I agree with this one, but you can tell from the divorce rate that a lot of people that thought they had found their true love (I'm not saying that all couples that marry think they've met their true love, but I'd bet a good portion do), really were mistaking they're feelings.

 

Now, I'm not speaking from much experience, I am only sixteen, so I'm not speaking from experience, but it would seem that no matter if you find your true love or not, it is a question of whether you care more about them or yourself I would think. I mean, in love there will always be sacrifice; the way I see it (correct me if I'm wrong), is that if you can even start to consider whether it is true love or not you have to think, 'What would I be willing to give up to make this work?' Even if there is no reason why you should ever be required to give it up, would you be willing to? Even then, I would not say definitely, but I would say that this is a major factor in knowing.

 

So, all of that means yes I do believe in true love to an extent, but I believe in a love that takes work to maintain if you understand what I mean...yeah..wow, I didn't really know I was thinking all of this until I wrote it down...lol.

True love does exist, ive felt it several times. Whether soulmate equates to true love i dont know.

 

To me true love isnt about the big stuff, like sex, and gifts and things. Its the small things, the soft touches, the small talk when you ask how their day went and really wanting to hear about it, just content to lay in bed together and feel that someone special against you (even if she does have cold feet). Its the need to say "i love you" every 5 minutes.
