I used to believe in finding true love and being with that person forever. Im a 22 year old guy and i have what i think is a lot of women after me. I guess my thing is i dont want to settle into a relationship just for the sake of getting married and having children. So my question to everyone is, is there really such a thing as true love? Someone you'll know is the right person for you, or should i just find someone who has good qualitys and do what amounts to settling?

i always believe in true love..i guess all of us has more than one true love..but i think that you're still young to settle into marriage..enjoy being single..don't look for her..just wait and it will come to you in time..it will always come when you least expect it..

I agree with the part about enjoying my singleness. I guess my whole thing is so many people i went to school with have gotten married and seem very happy. I guess i just want that same thing. Definetly dont want to get married, my whole thing is i want that girl i want to get married to around. I want to know her already.

you will know her eventually..or maybe you already met her..you just don't see her in that way yet..just wait a little more..everything that is worth it is worth waiting for..

hi hurbx182,
You are right when you said that you do not want to marry just because of
getting married and having children. Those are very shallow reasons a person can
have if he/she wants to settle down. Marrying a person means loving a person
wholly. It includes loving him/her despite of his/her weaknesses. If you just love
a person just because he/she is good looking and rich, I think you are just after
the material things or worldly things.If you just marry a person just because you
want to have children than it is not loving after all. The term appropriate for
that is not loving but using.
I believe in true love. I believe that even when we are not yet born, there is
someone destined to be our partner. I think you will know that he/she is the right
one if you can imagine yourself growing old with him/her. If you can accept the
flaws on his/her character and will be patient on his/her mood then you really are
loving. If you feel that you are proud of him/her and will do everything for
him/her, then you might be in what they called "genuine love." I don't think that I
can find my ideal guy. Each one of us for sure has some weaknesses. I believe that
God created each individual with equal amount of strength and weaknesses.

It comes with time, you have to know some women though to find out that if they are for you or you need to wait for the Almighty to do everything for you though. I found my boyfriend who is also my friend since kindergarten and we met after some seven years since then we are together so true love exists.

Yes i hear ya. Im also a religious person and believe god has a lot to do with who you end up with. Especially if you pray, and put it in his hands. Alot of times though thats harder said than done. Thanks tho for the encouragement. Ill try to be patient!
