For all the romantics out there. Do you think once you've lost the "love of your life" that you can move on and find another love like that?

Yes...
"the love of my life" was my boyfriend of 5 years. He passed away due to Hodgkin's lymphoma about 1.5 years ago. I was totally devastated... and for quite some time I couldn't find anyone else who loved me and cared about me as much as he did. In short I couldn't imagine I'd love anybody else more. Well, just recently, I came across my childhood sweetheart! We haven't seen each other for 10 years. The feeling I got was like, "the love of my life" has come back to visit me! Not the same, but I no longer wished to see "the love of my life" in my dreams.
So yes, I truly believe that I can move on and find another love like that, and even better. It is so in my experience.

Absolutely not.
Everyone that you may choose to date or converse with will be nothing more than rebounds or space-fillers. The "love of your life" won't simply evaporate because you have begun seeing others. It will take time. If you can get into another relationship after you've lost the "one" how can you even fix your lips to utter the word love? This would mean that you had no love, only a great like for the person with whom the separation took place. Love is not something that is caught like a cold or virus, and just simply goes away in time. Genuine love never, never goes away. It stays with you til death. No amount of time, no new person, or no thing is strong enough to erase true love. You never regroup or recover from a lost of that magnitude, you only learn to live with it and proceed with the rest of your life hoping that one day you will at least come close to that feeling again.

I'm doing that right now. I lost stupidly broke up with her over a year ago and i'm still not over it. I catch myself day dreaming about her. I stop my hand from dialing her number. I still write her letters and its been over a year. I don't think you can ever get over that person. I think you have to cherish the moments you spent but not dwell on what you do not have. Think of it as you got to feel something that hardly anyone else in this world will ever feel. It truly is an incredible bliss. I don't think there are two people that you can love that much. I do think you can find someone to love in a completly different way. Its hard loosing your best friend though.

It would depend.. If the person is still alive and just does not love you in the same sense, then you may have been wrong and a another is outhere for you.. Lets say you lose your loved one to tragedy, then I feel I would not be able to move on and find another love.
This is only my opinion though.. god giving I will never have to face such a situation.

Honestly, if they were the love of your life, you wouldn't have lost them, unless it was due to death. If the love of your life passed away, then you would probably never find another that you would love in the same way, but yes, you could still go on to find another love and it would be just as wonderful.

no i don't. I think that once a person has found the one for them that, it is it. i believe that you can move on but you will never find a love that is as good as the love that you shared with that someone because you will never honestly want to move on. we are human and it is with in our nature to hold on to people we love, and their memory. you can love again but it wont be the same.

How do you know he's the love of your life unless you've dated every man in the world, which is impossible!

Depends on the person. For me - no. i have my love and if i lost Him that would be it. But for some others i believe it can be possible.

It's very hard losing someone that we thought would make our life complete but sometimes, there's no choice but to move on. I still believe in finding someone who deserves me more.
