I thought that I was in love in a couple of past relationships, but I realize now that it was more of infatuation. I sometimes wonder if love even exists?

It does. They say you will know that for sure if it comes...

The essence of your being is unconditional love. You have unity with God in unconditional love within your own heart. Two people come together in "infatuation" which lasts only a short while and if they do not Both work to build a truly loving relationship, when infatuation disappears so does the relationship. When you find true love in your own heart, then other people will reflect it back to you. Especially young tottlers,silently tell everyone, I know who you are,you're unconditional love. young tottlers will break out in this big Grin & reach to hug you.

Love is the smoke raised by the fumes of sighs
being purged afire sparkling in lovers eyes
being vexed as seen nourished with loving tears
what is it else
a madness most discreet
a choking Gaul
and a preserving sweet
farewell

Basically, yes.
Individuals are often attracted to one another by things like physical appearance, conversation, common interests/activities. It's not like people wear a copy of their resume around their neck.
You don't walk up to someone and say,"Gee...you seem like an intelligent person."
People are seldom attracted to one another for logical or utilitarian reasons; its usually physical/sexual attraction.
If, after the initial attraction, they discover more about each other and decide to still "date," then, perhaps, love is not quite so "blind."
But all too often, people get married without knowing enough about each other, plus they're often not mentally mature enough to get into a permanent relationship. Hence, the high divorce rate.

Love is blind, when you don't know what you want out of a relationship. Or when you know what you want, but instead of actually finding it, you are filling in the blanks by assuming the good qualities that you are looking for are there instead of actually looking. You were in love, but apparently with wrong people.

It does exist. And when it hits you, you know it. It makes you want to do anything to be with that person and make him/her happy, even if that means leaving. Wait for it. Being in love - true love - is crazy. Just like that line from the movie "Princess Bride," it does not happen everyday.

Not based on physical appearance? Yes. Existing? Yep. Unfortunately ignorant people make love out of nothing.

I don't believe that love is blind but I do believe that certain people in love are blind. These people fail to learn from the previous relationships they've been in, so their blind to what goes on around them with the people who are supposed to love them. That's why it's important to ask questions when you think that something suspicious is going on around you. I believe if humans loved every single person around them as much as they love themselves, love can't die. Love doesn't die when we righteously love each other considering that person to be one. When you consider a person to be one with you, you'll love them as much as you love yourself. Humans love themselves more than anything or anyone else; when you consider a person to be yourself, you'll never want to see harm come to this person, you'll never want to hurt this person, you'll never want anything to happen to this person that you wouldn't want done to yourself. Would love die when you love someone as much as you love yourself? NO.
So, if you find a person who can do that, then love will never change or die. If a person doesn't possess this type of love for you, then it's not real.

love in terms of relationship is not blind. you should know who you love and what the person is to you and why you love them. but the love itself and the way you love the person is blind, in a sense that it is unconditional and all giving. even if the person is not worthy of your love, you love them without question.

It is not blind, but it sure makes you not pay attention to the negative characteristics of the object of your loved one.

Yes, love is blind and marriage is the key to open it.
