Do you believe in true love?

Question

Do you think true love actually exists? I mean say if your significant other died - you'd eventually get over it right? Then move onto to someone else, no? Reason why I'm asking is because I'm not quite sure if it exists. I have no particular reason for this - its just something that I always believed in but the other day I saw a gay themed movie and today I read another gay themed book (both romantic comedies) and in both of them the characters and actors were made to portray such intense love that for a moment I thought true love does exist but then I thought to myself they're just wicked actors and that the author of that book knows how to write. But what do you think? p.s. I'm not insane or a 16 year old school boy asking stupid questions (I'm 2 years older and just recently jumped on the path to insanity - so not quite there yet)
p.s.2. Please don't take offense and report me to yahoo - I truly am curious (as i've never been with anyone) and just want to know. Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, I do believe true love exists. But it is very, very rare and precious. It is more than we expect, yet not what we expect. It has a power beyond belief.

I say this because I found mine. I didn't know what I was missing until then. I had a husband, a family, the whole nine yards. Then bam, in he walked. It was like I'd always known him, loved him.

But we can't be together - both of us have other commitments. So, we love each other in this lifetime as friends only. Yet I know that if I need anything, he'll be there (sometimes before I say a word). And I'll do the same for him. Perfect love and perfect trust.

So, that's my testimony for true love. I hope you find yours, my friend.

Yes, Dear One, true love exists. My Partner and I met on a UW campus 27 years ago (sometime this week). It was literally love at first sight. It was if our souls said "Oh, so *that's* where you've been!" We moved into dorm room together 2 weeks later, the in together permanently 6 months later. we set our hand-fasting from the date we...well, never mind.
It's been 27 years this October, through a lot of ups and downs, through job changes , money and health issues, but Love has always been there. As the old song goes "I love you more today than yesterday; but not as much as tomorrow."
We've asked ourselves that very question : could we live without the other? Truck said she probably could, but she'd take only what she could fit in her semi and go on the road permanently. Everything in the house would remind her too much of me. I don't know if I could live without her (oh such a drama queen.....) or if I'd just go lay under a tree and waste away to nothing. Maybe I'd just wear black until I died like the old widows in Greece because she's my everything.
Oh yes, my darling. True Love exists. Look into the eyes of the Older Folks who are walking hand in hand through the parks. You'll see it there too. There are many of us here who love (and have loved and lost our Beloveds)

Yes there is true love , and just because that person dies does not me the love does too . It is very hard to lose that feeling . They can hurt you bad , and leave you hanging , and it may be a little less but it's still there . The hard part is finding it , but when you do you'll know . You well feel many kinds of love over the years ahead of you , but first you must open yourself to it . And stay curious that's how we learn life . Take care

Answer 4

Yes, I do believe in true love. My current partner and I had a very rough start. She even left me for 6 months. In that period of time, neither of us could "get over" the other one, no matter how hard we tried. Both of us tried to move on, but in the end, we came back together and are now working on our lives together as a team. I think about the time where one of us will have to carry on without the other, and it feels so lonely to think of a life without the other. Just and FYI, during our time apart, I did try to date others...I found I kept looking for the energy feeling of love that I get w/ my partner and didn't even come close to finding it...funny thing...she went back to her ex and did the same thing...she couldn't find it either. Hope this answers your question :)

Answer 5

True love does exist,..... it just never lasts.

All good things must come to an end. Eventually, things about that person will start to irritate you and that's the beginning of the end.

Someone once said, " The very thing which endeared you to your partner when you first met, will eventually be the end of your relationship" .

I'm still trying to figure out if that statement is true.

Answer 6

I do believe in true love, I do think that if my partner dies that he would want me to continue finding love, because if he was in my shoes I would hate to see him alone, and I wouldn't want him to be alone for the rest of his life.

I'm pretty sure he feels the same and would tell me to find someone. But I'll never forget about him, he'll always be in my heart no matter who else might be in my life. Same with Ex boyfriends that I've had.

Answer 7

well id like to believe that true love exists, i know tat i have loved people before but i wouldnt of been willing to like give up my own life for them. but im a romantic at heart and believe things like that.

Answer 8

Personally, I think it's different for everyone. I think that you will fall in love more than one time in your life, it just depends on who you are and where you are in your life. I think it is possible to stay with one person your whole life if you want to and of course if the other one wants to too.

It's difficult for me to explain thouroughly... sorry.

Answer 9

I'm too jaded to believe in it. I know I've felt true love a few times in my life, but then no-one has ever felt it for me, so I cannot possibly believe "in it".

Answer 10

i really don't know, i've never been in love. i would have to hope though, with 6 billion+ people out there that there is at least one that each of us could fall completely in love with ツ
