After seeing all these people I know in their early twenties in their 'love' relationships I have to say I think its a bunch of BS. If their silly little affairs are love then I dont want any part of it. I dont think people even care to understand that love is not just oh I met a guy at the bar and we get along and enjoy having sex - we might as well get married. Dont people want more from life?

"More?"
Like what, exactly?
I have a sneaking suspicion you watched too many romantic movies somewhere between birth and posting this question. The fact is most people have rather plain lives and are going to have rather plain loves. That's just life, no sense getting worked up about that.
Someone with a nice 9-5 job shouldn't expect much more than a nice 5-9 love.

I think love exists, but yes, it is more than just a 'we both like Chinese food' thing. I will use myself as an example, whether you like it or not. I swore I would never get married, EVER! But I met my husband where I worked way back when, and we are more like best friends now. It is not just sex, it is everything. I always say give and take, and if two people can give and take all the things they need and want, and are good together, I think that is love. We have both made sacrifices for each other, and we continue to do so every day, not because we think we are in love, but because we care about each other. We got married because we are happy. There is nothing better than knowing I can kick someones *** at halo, drink beer with that someone, and still have sex with that person too. It is all about what people need. I didn't get married for love, I got married because I wanted to be with this man for the rest of my life, and why not wear a ring while I'm at it. I hope you find the answers you are looking for.

Your right about meeting someone at a bar go have sex get married. All that is,is lust and yes it is fun and exciting,but it
does not last.Have you ever heard if you don't marry the person your with,within the first two years then chances are
you won't marry that person at all. Why do you think that is,could it be that the excitement is over and the lust you once
felt is gone to.This is where the love comes in believe it or not. If you don't want to be alone and you truly think you love
this person.Love is more then lust and even excidement it's
knowing someone will always be there for you,and to take care of you,and you them.Never sleeping alone having some
one to hold in the night .Most of all you have a best friend,someone to talk to when you have a problem.I could go
on and on but I don't want to bore you.You will find someone
that won't make you sick we all do. Good Luck !!

Young people make mistakes...That is how they learn.
Unfortunately, some mistakes are serious ones and can scar them for life.(Young kids getting married and having children is something you see here every day, yet they STILL believe their situation will be different.)
I do believe that love exists, but finding true love is not easy. And many people confuse feelings and think they are in love when they aren't....
I also think most people want love, and many settle for something less because of their own insecurities. This is sad and causes a lot of heartache.
Marriage is a serious thing, not to be taken lightly. It is a big commitment and not everyone is up to the challenge.

People want more out of life - I think what has happened is that people have lost sight on how to go about getting it.
Sex seems to be high on people's priority list when it should be nowhere on the list because when you meet someone then get to know them enough to know you want to spend the rest of your life with them then the sex will come naturally.
What happens is sex gets put first then once the "new sex" wheres off and we realize we don't have anything in common and can't get along in the littlest of areas then we split up and move on to the next "new sex". We will continue this cycle becuase in general we are no smarter then the rat in the maze that keeps running into the same stupid wall and wondering why we aren't getting anywhere.
Hmmm... you can't expect to get better results by doing the same stupid thing. Once we (in general) realize this nothing will change.

I believe, and I can be wrong, but I think true love comes (usually) after 26 or so. It took me til I was 30 to figure it out. Slow learner I guess. But, yes it does exist, it just takes time, and the right person. Good luck to you, oh and bars are no place to start a relationship that you expect to last more than a night or so anyway. Look in better places and you will eventually find who you want!!

I know i feel the same way. I never had a boyfriend, and people that i know seem to confuse real "love" with other things. Look at the time we are living, it seems that now a days people go more for looks than personality, which i think is very sad. And its just not about having satisfying one another either, its about working together, learning, growing together. there is something more than that, and unfortunately people today don't realize that.

love exists for the ones that take the time to work on the relationships and don,t runaway from trouble, and respect and trust the other one.

No it more than that, its finding someone who completes you and who you wondered where they were your whole life and you would rather be with them over anyone else in the world....Hey let me know if you find it though I am curious to know if it exists that way too...LMAO
