I'm starting to wonder :(

I have answered this same question in different format a lot of times now, but I will still be glad to answer it for you.
38 years ago, I saw a girl with long dark hair (I thought I liked blonde's) and deep green eyes (I never noticed the eye color of anyone I ever dated). When they announced last dance, I walked up to her and asked her to dance (up until then the hardest thing I had ever done). She said yes. When the dance finished, for no reason I can remember I kissed her on the forehead (she has said that that is the moment she decided I was going to marry her). I took me a month to find out her phone number and her name. I took a chance and called her for a date, again she said yes (that call was now the hardest thing I had ever done). Six months after that I asked her to marry me, again she said yes (It was not hard to ask, it felt right). About 6 or 8 months later, she said I do. We have been married for more than 37 years now. Behind my eyelids she is still the 19 year old girl, with the flowing long dark hair and the deep green eyes I met at that party. I guess I loved her then and I love her even more now.

If you think true love might be an illusion, then you are right.
If you believe Shakespeare, then you are getting close to knowing the answer.
If you think falling in love is anywhere near the same as true love, then you are clueless. They can co-exist, but they don't need to.
That you wonder is a good sign because as you use the process of illimination, you might reach illumination. After all there is only one little letter that needs to change.
True love is all there is, ever was, and will ever be.
Love is the highest which exists and can only be seen from even higher, from a higher dimension. From our point of view here in this earthly realm, the more we try to describe it, the further away we get. The closest I can get is in saying "Just do it."

It depends on how you define true love and what love means to you. I don't know if you have read Gone with the Wind. I would say it was an eye opener for me. I also fancied that a knight in armour would come riding a black horse and sweep me of my feet. But Scarlet's story showed that probably i was overlooking the obvious. Scarlet throughout her life pines for Ashley, who is actually too good for her. And even when she marries a man more suitable to her nature and loves deeply she keeps yearning for Ashley. But finally the death of Ashley’s wife awakens her to the reality that her TRUE love is her husband and not Ashley as she imagined

I absolutely believe in true love. I just got out of a really bad relationship that lasted three years, but I still believe in true love. I know I'll find it someday, he just wasn't the one for me. With every bad relationship, you learn something from it and you grow, and you get that much closer to finding your true love! :) Yes, I'm very passionate about this. Don't give up!!!

I thought I was in love like 3 or 4 times hehe I am single and I can say thank God I was smart and checked each man out. You cannot help your heart and what it feels for another that to me is true love BUT if another is abusing that love in any way shape or form you must move on and find a love worthy of your love. Yes we all know that love is never balanced in out relationships with others but you know even when you truly love another if you are getting taken for a ride :)))) Better to be alone and have True LOVE for yourself than waste it on a person that is not deserving of your love :))))

yes I absolutely do.. he is my rock, he is the only one able to break down my walls and he loves me for who I am as I do him. We met in February 13 yrs ago, were married in September and as others have said, I love him more today than I ever thought possible. If in fact it is just an illusion, I love being disillusioned

True love or true love that did not work out because of incompatibility is not an illusion. Being in love is feelings,and that is real. Ps. I was very touch of William B how he met his soulmate.

When you are saying true love it's LOVE. There is no wonder,once one have only then you can feel it.

I believe in true love - my husband's my soul mate -
The longer you are with someone the more love you feel year after year in different ways it doesn't happen like this overnight

Yes I do and it lasts 3-5 years. Then it becomes routine, boredom, ennui and tiresome.
There are exception to this rule and William B must be one of them. But exceptions always prove the rule.
