do you believe in real love?

i´m not so sure.
has anyone experienced real love (without pain)??

 

Yes.

I would say it's all around us at every time when we are with people we care about, but I'd look like I was being sarcastic.

 

real love is the only thing i belive in, the only thing i love for.

 

i mean real love between a man and a woman. love hurts.


i do believe in love between friends or family.

 

Id say loving relationships go on many different levels, so real love is undefinable, tho i think most people dont experience it, they just believe the hype, and pretend to themselves.

that said im a very self-orientated person and therefore ive never really felt anything much more than a sexual connection with another person,
Im not really bothered by it tho, love is unrealistic in most cases and I like to be free to live as an induvidual.

 

I've experienced real love, and I'm married to the one who gave me that experience.

Was it without pain? No. Love hurts sometimes.

Peace.

 

I believe the band Nazareth said it best. Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mares any hearts.

 

Or pantera's - this love, altho thats slightly different?

 

I believe in real love because I've felt it, but it always ends in pain.

 

I dont think i'll ever find someone i can love forever.... i just dont have it in me... people anoy me or upset me or hurt me... or i get bored.. or fickle....

but hey im only 18 and thats pretty damn young... never know in 30 years i may be saying something different.
I do beleive love exists though, on so many levels

 

i don't think there is such thing as true love without pain.

 

Yes I have experienced real/ true love once.
I fucked up majorally and moved out of state cuz i was running from my fears but when i called him he said that no matter what he will always love me and when or if one day i come back he will drop his girlfriend or who ever and be with me.

 

there is not true love without pain but in that pain you learn trust and companionship with that significant other...

 

Real love????? Yes Yes & Yes......... Its yummy & good............. We have been together for 20 years & it just gets better........... Nothing can compare to knowing your soulmate lover completely inside & out........

 

yes I have found her

 

I've never experienced it before, but I believe strongly that true love does, in fact, exist. Many people are just too much of an absolutist. They think that if it didn't last forever it wasn't true love. You can get bored over time of someone with whom you once possessed true love, that's my opinion. If you're already fickle and you're also not able to compromise, you're not going to be able to have a real, loving relationship. True love could have existed for you before, but you fucked it up by being an immature child. I think that's happened to me a few times, simply because I wasn't in the mood to commit, and therefore found many reasons to be an asshole, or to find a problem. Now that I'm older, if I don't believe I want a long term relationship, I won't get into one because it would be doomed to failure, and in that you wouldn't really be giving the other person enough of a chance to really even be able to see if they were capable of being a true love of yours.

I also don't believe that there's one true love, I believe in thousands of true loves. If someone thinks the way you do, I mean reasons in close to exactly the same way you do, it's very likely they could be a true love if you gave them the chance. They'd like the same music, artists, directors, actors, movies, and on top of that, they'd see something nearly exactly as you did, and think after seeing that thing nearly exactly how you thought. This is what I think is needed for true love. If someone thinks on a completely different level than you do, it won't work. And I don't mean higher or lower, more intelligent or less intelligent than you, but thinking purely on a completely parallel level to that of yourself. They're not going to be compatible for you if they do. They'll see something and reason about it completely differently than you will, and psychosomatically, this will indicate what they're going to enjoy and not enjoy.

Ofcourse, that's only a theory, as I've not yet had the chance to put it to practice. I've not yet found someone who thought exactly or close to exactly the way I did. And when I did, it was usually a guy. lol Very lame!

 

I disagree... having a companion who is exactly like you will get boring... while it is incredibly nice to have somebody to relate to you, i think it's necessary to have some differences, so that you can learn new things and experience different things together... it's makes the relationship more interesting, and I for one, am much like Fleassy in that I get bored and/or fickle a lot with my relationships... hate to admit it, but it's true... so! i need to be with someone who has a lot of the same values as I, but is not exactly like me...

some things I think would be necessary to be similar would be, complimenting senses of humor, similar morals, goals for the future, similar interests (you have to be able to stuff together besides have sex)... stuff like that. the Big Stuff... but not always thinking the exact same thing about everything... I believe it's great to look at a painting or watch a movie with a loved one, and then discuss your differences of opinion in how you interpret it... it's a great way to get to know the other person as well. if they have the exact same interpretation as you.. there's not much to discuss... hhmmm.. anyway, that's just my opinion. (it may change, who knows...)

that said... i believe true love does exist.. not without pain and not without work, though. if your emotions are involved, and you completely let yourself go with that person, then the more likely it is you may get hurt... imo, insecurities can pop up, etc, but it's also very comforting and exhilirating to know you've given your heart to somebody and trust them to take care of it... *shrug* i'm only 21, and i've been engaged once, didn't work out... and have had a few boyfriends and several close guy friends... so what do i know anyway?

 

I believe in it but I never had True love yet...Maybe cuz I dont exactly know what true love is hmm. Sounds odd to say, but I guess when I find it I'll know...

 

Yeah, Tiger, people say differences work best, but I've tried that. I can't stand someone who differs from me. If they think along the same lines you do, they can still teach you something, and can still differ to an extent from you anyhow.

 

Yes, I have experienced real love, many times... But, it has never been without pain...

Actually, I don't think love is real, without pain. It's the pain that lets you know that it is in your soul...
