Does True Love Still Exist?

I am just curious...because there are people whom i encountered, say that they believe in true love...some say that they have found true love in their lives...they would say that, true love waits...and when you've found true love, it'll be forever... I don't believe that we all have soulmates in life...but i have heard that, once you've found your soulmate, then that's true love and it's called destiny...i don't believe in destiny either, because i believe that we are the one's who are making our own destiny...but i still believe in true love, anything can happen if you just believe...it's just that there are lots of sad love stories out there, like being cheated, being left behind, or betrayed in a relationship... But, does true love still exist? Do you still believe in true love? When does love become true love?

I believe that the only real true love is unconditional love. If someone who says they love you wants you to change, or you wish someone you love would change, it cannot be true love. I do believe in soulmates, and love that lasts forever. But love between soulmates does not always last forever.

It definately does exist.Usually a relationship fails when partners think they are in love but are still figuring out what true love is..then they see their partners true self and arent sure they like what they see anymore.i believe true love is formed by learning to understand the person completely and accepting all flaws as just being a part of their unique self.

True love exists in kind hearts! Mother Theresa is a good example. Now a days love revolves around looks and monetary aspects. Thus finding true love itself is a true search.

Definitely. I believe in love. When the God made us, HE made another part for us. Only when a man meet a woman and love her with all heart, he can have a real life. Although there is cheating, abuse and lots of sad stories, there is true love in the world.

oh i do think true love does exist. It is the "forever" part that is rare. Every man that I have ever been in love with has felt like real love so it must be...right? When it ends, I still think the love was real....just wasn't meant to be forever is all. Can love last for happily ever after? It is rare but it does happen. I have seen it and it is just beautiful.

Hey,i do believe in True love, though even i have had a bad experience.. But i still feel there is someone made only for you. I think there would not be any cheating or betrayal, if we would stop expecting out of our relationship with ACCEPTANCE life would be beautiful, you will just know it, if its for real, true love does exist.

yes ma'am. true love do exist... soulmates are also true. but sometimes we don't end up marrying our true love. some people meet their true love early, and along the way they lose the will to fight for it. that's the reason why some people are married to someone else and yet they kept wondering about what-ifs... or kept thinking about another person from the past. our first love can be our true love. but not always. not all the time. like for me, my wife is my true love. she's the only person i have ever loved this way, and yet she wasn't my first.

I happen to think that real love does currently exist. I have a saying "that in life that we are meant to love many but will only be in love once". I find this so true. So yes true love does exist.

What's true love? Man gives all to his lover? and woman gives all to her lover? The condition is that there are a lot of money to enjoy before he or she will become someone's true love. In a word, I don't believe tree love will happen. In moden life, most of us are selfish and realistic. When moeny or others become the quesiton between lovers, true love disappeared. they even fight each other due to these questions. I think true love will exist when human beings revert to the primeval times.

I believe true love does exist, it just takes a lot of work, once you find it. Love is hardly easy and I believe the rough patches couples endure are a test of their love and strength. Getting through the trials of life and still loving each other is a good sign of true love.

Yes it does, and i believe in it. Found my husband and he's my other half that completes me you know, sounds mushy but it's true. If you found that person that you can't live without it, that can be your buddy and bestfriend and partner in crime, and someone you have an amazing friendship with, yeah, that's true love. Sometimes I think believing in destiny is over rated but it's not, destiny really works, if it's meant to be then it is. When does love become true love? No one can answer that but you yourself. You can't measure how deep love is until you're in it already.

Love is a subjective thing for each person. I believe I found true love once in my life and I let it slip away. I am married and have a teenage son, but I would not say my mate is my true love. Love is what you make it in a relationship.

Destiny is about the only thing I believe in. You can try to change your destiny by fighting it... but you won't succeed. You'll end up back to square one. However... sometimes you will find yourself in trouble... and the solution will fall from the sky into your laps. That is destiny. Sure... nothing will happen if you don't get up from your chair to make it happen once you have the solution. Destiny only help those who can read all the signs of destiny. True love is rare. True love is not free. You have to work hard to earn it. You earn true love by being generous with the one you love. Generous with your time, compassion and understanding. Money come a distant fourth. You cannot buy love with money. Most men are selfish with their time and think they can buy love. That is why they have such a hard time finding it. Women on the other hand are over possessive and want every minute of their man's time devoted to them. Which put men off. Which is why women cannot find true love. It is the fault of both men and women. They need to learn to understand each other and compromise. There is too much selfishness in the world today. That's the main problem.

Yeah, i do agree that most men are selfish and on the other hand some women are over possessive...yeah, there is too much selfishness in our world today, and that's really so sad...yes, understanding is really important in a relationship...thanks really for sharing...i really do appreciate it...have a blessed day to U...may GOD BLESS U & UR family always!!!

Of course true love exists! It is pure unconditional love, when you love someone for who they are as a whole and can even embrace their imperfections. Happiest is when two people fall in love, then after they have really and fully gotten to know each other and opened up completely their love blossoms into True Love. I also feel that even when only one person in a relationship feels this way (unconditional love), it is still True Love for that one person. Love should be a give, not a take. Your feelings for another should not depend upon their feelings for you...

True love exists! I think you are confusing perfect love and true love. Perfect love doesn't exist in this planet but True love does. When you love a person truly, you can live with their imperfectness, and improve in perfection but can't attain 100%
