I have always believed in true love, and in being with someone who you care about more than you care about yourself. But has the world become so obsessed with "dating" and "relationships" that everyone is always looking out for a better deal?

i think you're right. I used to beleive in all of it until my ex cheated on me several times over and i forgave him stupidly until i cared very little about anything myself. I'm now with someone who would never do anything to hurt me and looks at me the way i could have only dreamt of a man looking at me before. But i've become so desensitized that even though i know he'll be the right one for me, i'm still looking for more. I don't know why i'm like this... I hate the way i am and he's really adorable even though i make him nervous when i don't respond to some of his affectionate ways to make me laugh. I worry instead of laugh that i'll be happy for now until something goes wrong.
I must be looking for a better deal...

Sadly the world has become obsessed with the "What If" question and it's so easy to divorce. There is also more women to men on the earth which makes the whole innocence of true love very difficult when you have to compete with 3 other girls for the 1 guy.

I like to believe in true love but i think you are right some people are always looking for a better deal. I believe that there is someone ou there for everyone but you dont always find each other.
Never leave the one you love for the one you like because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

Yes I met my true love when I was 14 and we split when I was 17, I never felt that way about anyone else, we met after 27 years and our true love is unconditional. We love being with each other, whatever we are doing and snuggle up all night long, we both put each other first in every way and think about each other every moment we are apart even after living together for the past 3 years. Sometimes you have to lose something you cherish to appreciate what you have!

I think people have watched too many films and think that true love is like it is in Hollywood, it's not. I strongly believe in true love, I even believe I am in it but I don't expect it to be easy. We snipe at each other and get grumpy and to be fair everyone looks at other people. I agree modern societyand the 'I want it now and I want it to be easy' mentality has made people not realise when they have found their soul mate cos they are not as perfect/hansom/rich as the person in their head. I think the secret is that you truly love someone if they are your best friend and it's all about give and take, not about living happily ever after

True love exist, however very few people will find it because they have no clue as to where to look. To many people mistake physical attraction for love, almost everyone is looking at outward appearance and not at a persons inner beauty. Love lives in the heart. If you are looking at the outer beauty of a person or for the materialistic possesions of a person then you are sure to never find true love. To find true love you must accept someone for who they truely are inside and not for what they look like on the outside, you must follow the heart and not your lustful mind and body.

yes, and no. Respectively. If you believe in true love then someone does, so you answered your own question.
Personally, I'm a biologicla reductionist, so I reckon it all comes down to chemical intereations, but I do believe that some people are ideally suited to each other simply on that scale, and this can be quantified as "true love" In other words, I belive someone can be the "right person" for someone else.

Love is something that will never die.
Yes, today to an extent have become very materialistic but there are still a few people left who believe in true love and are seeking for it.

TRUE LOVE DOES NOT NECISSARILY MEAN BOTH WILL FEEL THIS WAY, AND TO A LARGE EXTENT IT DOESNT ALWAYS MEAN THAT YOU WILL STAY TOGETHER IN A RELATIONSHIP. TRUE LOVE MEANS LOVING ANOTHER PERSON NO MATTER WHAT, EVEN THROUGH SEEING THEM FIND A BETTER LIFE IN ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP. TRUE LOVE ALSO DOESNT MEAN ALWAYS LIKING THE PERSON YOU LOVE, IT MEANS NOT TURNING YOUR BACK ON THEM.
TRUE LOVE IS DIFFICULT AND CAN BE PAINFUL, IT IS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT UNRECIPROCATED AND TAKES TIME TO REALLY TRULY BUILD. BUT ONCE ITS IS THERE IT WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR NO MATTER HOW SELFISH THE WORLD MAY BECOME.

I believe it does exist but people are so focused on thinking true love is sex.I wish we didn't have sex in our thoughts everytime a man meets awoman or the opposite. It is so overrated that i think of meet ing a guy and the fast thing i check is whether he is staring, or drooling.
I have to leave my life believing that there is a true man out there who does believe in true love coz they are very rare to find man or woman.
