in your opinion, does true love exist?

Question

or do we just convince ourselves that we can be eternally infatuated and brainwashed into committment.

Answer 1

Most definitely.

I love my little boy with all that I am. Can't help it... .just do.

Answer 2

I think that there is someone out there for everyone... I once did the math and discovered that if true love is "one in a million" then the following statements would have to be true; based on the current population of 6.7 Billion, each person has 6700 possible "perfect" mates. If you are hetero or homosexual, obviously this cuts your possibilities down. There also are more women than men (about 3 to 2) so if you are a man, your probability is higher that you will find a mate as opposed to your female counterpart. Now, you also have to take into consideration which Continent you live on. There are quite a few more people in China than there are in the States.

But basically, Yes, I believe that true love exists, and the numbers make me feel better!

Answer 3

Yes, true love exists, but not in the manner in which it is presented by fiction such as books and movies. True love, in my opinion, starts out as a hormonal attraction but evolves into commitment between two parties who are willing to "work" at the relationship. And, yes -- WORK -- is the operative word. My parents have that rare relationship in which true love does play a huge part. My father (74 yrs.) still says that my mother (69 yrs.) is the most beautiful woman in the world. However, there were also times in their marriage when things were rough -- but they determined to work through these together -- and came out on the other side of it stronger than before. (Notice the word "work" came up again?) Yes, I state again, true love exists, but only if you are willing to "work" to keep it.

Answer 4

In my opinion, yes, true love does exist. Commitment is NOT based on feelings alone. A commitment is a decision. You will get out of love what you put into it. In the long term as in marriage it takes ALOT of work. If you don't work at it, it will not last.

Answer 5

I believe in true love and that it does exist... Maybe I am living in a fantasy world, or a fairytale, but hey.. I believe in fairytales. Recently, I saw an article in BBC news.. archiologist found a pair of skeletons locked in a hug.. This made me warm inside because I know in my heart these two were in love :) Here is the picture and the site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6338751.stm
If you believe in it, you will have it.

Answer 6

Yes, true love does exist, but it has nothing to do with infatuation and I believe you have to first know God to know true love

Answer 7

No, it exist. Eternal infatuation does not. Commitment doesn't mean love. You don't have to commit to those that you love.

Answer 8

If you're brainwashed into commitment, then that is not love at all. I think it's terrible that people doubt that true love exists...

Answer 9

wow thats a blunt not very nice way to put it
true love exists.
but who said that true love had to be perfect?
true love would not be true if there wasn't pain in it. of course you have to commit! or are you going to run around with other girls?!
because believe it or not buddy, there will be some girl someday that will love you, and you'll want to commit.
if you let her show you.

Answer 10

I really hope so : ) I hope that I find someone that I am head over heals in love with forever. Maybe you can't be 100% in love, but that's what I'm after.

Answer 11

I think "true love" does exist, but I also think you can have true love with more than one person and more than once in a lifetime.
