Do you believe in Love? True love? Like fairytale happily ever after love?
Nope. It's a bunch of neurons firing at once, and means nothing more than that.
I'd like to find someone to spend the rest of my life with someday, but I wouldn't characterize it as true love.
Do you believe in Love?
Head says no, heart says yes.
Yes. To make it last you both have to work at it though.
Yes, absolutely. My partner of almost six years left me around six months ago in pretty brutal circumstances, I truly loved her and I believe it's possible that two people can love each other.
I most definitely believe in true love. My ex- and I broke up in 1999. Here it is 2011, we share the same home with our children and the dog. We are not lovers (which breaks my heart every day) but at least I am in her midst. If this is the only way I can be with her, in her presence, then I guess it's that's the way it's got to be. But in spite of everything I have never stopped loving her with all my heart. Wish, wish, wish we could be lovers again. Sigh.
Yes. I'm living it 5 years and strong!
Love is the only thing of meaning to me. It is my one refuge, and my one salvation from the nightmares of this world.
Love is why I live, and it is a joyful life while it lasts.
Love, even fairytale love has its ups and downs. I will be celebrating my 45th anniversary next month. There have been good times, very good times, average times and some bad, very bad times.
Do you believe in Love?
Yes.
True love? Like fairytale happily ever after love?
Not really. Or least not for me. Love is transient in my experience.
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough now,
Do you believe in life after love

Yes I do believe in that kind of love but the reality is that it's a lot of work. Sharing your life is not always easy and it takes commitment to see it through the tough times.
Yes i believe in love but for many yrs i have never found that love until i relaized God is love and love is God so i make a resting place for God/Love in my heart.
as for people i have been hurt time and time after time after time
but i would love to know true love with a human who loves me back like i have given my love in the past
However, it seems i will be single my whole life and yet i have Gods love which makes life worth living
I believe in love, true love! I love one person she is everything to me my world, my moon, my stars, my every breath! I have loved her almost 14yrs now. like happily ever after love? Yes I believe in that as well. I was living it for most of my life! I cant imagine my life without her, I feel there is no me with out her, but unfortunatly I found out she doesnt feel the same way, and my happily ever after might be coming to an end.

It breaks my heart as well to hear this, your love for her is true! So true that you are willing to not be lovers just to be in her presence and near her, thats beautiful, thats true love!

yes its not easy, i have learned that through the years, but its alot harder when its only one having the commitment and one causing the problems, yet saying she doesnt mean to.

Yes. To make it last you both have to work at it though.
Unfortunately, I have nothing to say because you just said everything there is to say.
Your thirteen words have destroyed my overly verbose and grand response. Congratulations.
I thought so at one time, but now I am not sure. Three divorces later and I am pretty jaded. So in humans I don't believe so anymore. If you do find that one special person, you both have to work at being in love with each other, not just love one another.
But one thing I do know is that true love does exist and your true love has four legs. Animals give unconditional love, and all you need to to is open your heart to it. Never yell at them,never hurt them, always love and care for them.
I know I can feel it. I know I yearn for it. It takes effort from both parties, lots and lots of open upfront communication, and patience, in order to make it last happily ever after. But it's all worth it if that other person is investing the same in you.
Le sigh...so miss it.
Yes.
I do, but it always ended up bad for me
Love does exist, even if it's just a chemical thing going on in our brains. We all feel that love. Interpersonal love is such a strong thing. The love for your children, your brother or sister, parents, and close friends. I had a friend and we both cared for each others' well being so much that it was bordering a romantic relationship, but it never did. It was based on love.
True love in a totally romantic way? Yes! It just takes time to meet someone who you'll end up loving and they'll end up loving you in that way. It seems to happen to almost everyone, though. It's like everyone has a destined soul mate in this world, but we just have to find them. Have hope for love, Jen-Jen.
I want to believe. It's hard right now, love is hanging by a thread. :'(
Feels like my whole life is falling apart. But hopefully, just maybe, love will conquer.
Love,
Karlee.x

True so true! Thank you zeldaheart I couldn't have said it better! Love does exist and is such a strong thing , the love I feel for her makes me feel like I'm going to explode! But my love for her is way diffrent than my love for family and friends, its way more! I do believe in soul mates I believe she is mine. I've had hope for love but its been 14 yrs you would think she would get it by now! Its just hard you know!

I'm in the same boat with you! Its hard to believe and see it when your love is hanging by a thread! I too feel like my whole life is falling apart! Mine feels like I am on a cliff watching a whole major city(my life) in flames burning! There's nothing I can do but watch, there is not enough resources to put it out! Everything I know and have worked for is burning!
Wow that's it? no one else believes in love?
I absolutely believe in true love. It may not be the first person you meet, it may not be the second or third - but somewhere, sometime I believe we all will meet our soul mate and be destined for true love.
Yes I believe in love, but its hard to find and takes work.
I love my man, he loves me.
Somehow 20 years ago I won the man lottery. ;D
Believe in fairytale love? No. Some days prince charming royally pisses me off. He's not always thrilled with my evil witch days either.
Love for me, right now, is about patience and hope. That hope is all that's keeping me going right now.
And who cares if it's just "a bunch of neurons?" Discovering how something works doesn't suddenly make it not real or not exist.
I believe in love. As was previously stated, even if its a chemical reaction in the brain, it's still a reality that people experience.
That being said, I don't think there's really such a thing as "unconditional love." If someone habitually treats me like ->-bleeped-<- even if I love them, I'm sure my feelings would change over time.
To quote Dan Savage, "There is not true love, just people you settle for"

You would think so wouldn't you? Unfortunately, it's more complicated in practice. I still love my ex, for all she treated me like ->-bleeped-<-. At least I eventually grew enough sense to walk away. When they say love isn't enough, they really aren't kidding.

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real
Seriously I believe in love and I will fight for it as long as I live and breath.

Any interest in Shintoism and/or Taoism? I've always found them to be particularly beautiful religions.
Please stay on subject, this post is about love not religion.
Yes, there are many folks and various things I love about this world :) Not because of religion or someone told me I should, that doesn't dictate how I feel... Not because I plan to marry anyone or take part in some kind of intimate relationship, though I wouldn't rule that out
It is the way I feel, I love these people and places and things because that is the feeling that comes from inside me
Talk about pessimists...either one hasn't been loved or has been hurt by what seemed like Love, and that's without putting Religion into the mix.
Which Disney movies? :laugh:

If I answer I'll get in trouble. :P ~But on the subject of True Love, this is perhaps the greatest poem ever written:
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
'I love her for her smile--her look--her way
Of speaking gently,--for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love, thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.
Sonnet XIV ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Yuck! I suppose i share your PAIN!
After three divorce filings and nine years later the last one was the charm! Ex is still STALKING me with kids and I FED UP! Just goes to show how both genders can be,
are as equally
WACKED as the next. lol Am starting to think she wasn't LYING when she told the judge "i want this divorce", telling me otherwise yet having little other choice. He treated it as a "no-fault", i got the house with no alimony to pay indeed what a thrall, . . .
And to end this 'lil ditty kid's want me more than her for sure,
which means once I get them don't pay her at all!
Not trying to generate "sympathy", 'cause she's had enough of her share,
What goes around comes around and in the meantime we can only do ones best,
Perhaps Love Will Blossum Once Again when MARRIAGE is finally put to rest!
Yes I believe in love.
With all my heart and soul.
I am married to the love of my life. The most wonderful gift to me the universe could have ever cooked up.
We compliment eachother in nearly every way.
It was not love at first sight though. Far from it.
When I first met Sevan I was living as a man ::) and ze was a semi butch lesbian. Ze was married to a slob of a woman who just happened to be one of my friends.
When Sevan met me...ze did not like me. I was a man, I was a pot smoker, and I took up all of hir wifes time hanging out getting stoned and goofing off.
I saw Sevan as a classic man hateing dyke and I was convnced that I had to prove to hir that not all men were evil.
One day Sevans wife wanted to come to my place so she could hook hir PS2 up to the big TV in my living room so she could game, and she had coerced Sevan into sharing a bottle of Crown Royal hir father had given hir for christmass. Sevan did not want to share that whiskey with me but hir wife pretty much threw a fit and made Sevan hang out with me. (unknown to me at the time of course...)
Anyways....Over that pint of Crown we really bonded. Sevan realized that I was actually not the bad person ze had cooked up in hir imagination and ze softened up to me.
I already had made it my mission to crack hir shell and get hir to be my friend because it was complicating my friendship with Sevans wife.
Well I actually started to fall in love with Sevan that day. But ze was a lesbian and I was a guy so I had NO intention of persueing hir.
Fast forward a month and the three of us are great friends. The 3 of us are basically a sexless triad now. (well I wasn't getting any, they were and that was not an issue to me) We did everything togather and we are really tight.
Then on my birthday the three of us went to a hot springs. We hung out chit chated and had a good time. On the way back to our place (they moved in by now) Sevan informs me that was the moment ze realised that ze had fallen in love with me.
Well it only takes hir about a week to tell me "I am in love with you, and I know you are in love with me. Do not deny it!"
I could not deny it. I was indeed in love and had been for awhile. I said as much.
Then a few weeks latter Sevan gets it in hir head that ze is going to tell hir wife that ze is in love with me. Ze somehow thought that would be a good idea. How ze thought this I am at a loss.
Well you can all properly imagine how that was recieved on valentines day!!!
Well over the next month there is allot of tension between the two of them and Sevan and I introduce Sevan to straight sex behind hir wifes back. The passion between the two of us was too much to bear. We had to get it out of our skin. We had already decided that we would be a couple and we just had to get the question of wheather heterosexual sex was going to be something Sevan could deal with. (yes Sevan was a gold star dyke up till that point.) Well it turns out that not only is heterosexual sex not the anethema Sevan had imagined...turns out ze is indeed bisexual. Which was quite the revalation to hir as you can imagine. (We had already decided that even if ze did not like the sex we would become a sexless couple. But the consumation of the relationship had to take place.)
Over the next month the two of them fall apart and Sevan kicked hir wife out of our house.
I tried to get sevan to keep hir wife and be a triad with Sevan at the center. There was only friendship between me and the wife. At first of course hir wife was oppossed to the arangement, but in the end she was amniable to the idea. But Sevan had had enough of hir wifes lazy abusive ->-bleeped-<-. (did I mention the wife was an abusive, slovenly, perma-stoner, and emotionaly alienateing to Sevan?)
Sevan and I have been togather ever since.
We have been through the ringer togather. The amount of things we have endured as a couple would have broken other couples soon into the relationship.
But we have never waivered in our love and comitment to eachother. Each trial we have endured has only served to drive us closser to eachother.
I believe in timeless love that endures all and comes out in the end forged like steel.
How can I not believe in love?
It is my most valuable treasure.
Oh I forgot to mention that I revieled my true gender to Sevan over the bottle of whiskey and ze confided in me that ze had some cross gender feelings also at that time.
So Sevan was informed and did not enter the relationship with me blind to the fact I was really a woman.
Togather the last 8 years and married 6 come March.
I believe in life after love....wait isn't that a song? :eusa_think:
