In one of my past discussion, one of the lotters said that true love is a combination of all virtue. This is necessary to have a good relationship. But does true love exist? for true love we always give examples of Romeo- Juliette, Heer-Ranja, Laila-Manju (please add if you know more names). But these characters are found only in books So do you think it exists??

that is hard to say because what is true love? that means something different to different people. True love to me is two people who love each other who want to be trusting, honest, loyal, and faithful to each other as long as they are together. that is true love to me. does that exist? Of course it does

As in all cherry blossoms and giggles..mmm..no. After 22 years with Liz it has become evident, to me at least, that true love shows in all its glory when things ain't so idyllic..when it ain't so easy..when the test of it is brought to the fore. That's when one sees the joys and feels the joys of true love.. Enjoy!

Hi sweetneelu, If you believes true love,it will comes soon;if you don't believe it,you will never see the true love. I think true love exist if we have a good relationship eath other. For example,Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.

Yes. I think it does exist. Though I am not sure whether my true love has come or not yet. I lost my first love. And now, I am so carefully in love. I don't wanna get hurt so bad like I did. It hurt me so bad. I know I shouldn't do that. But.. I think, I will know when it comes. ^^

Love is a type of conviction. More you convince yourself that you love a person, deeper in love you will be with him or her. In love, it is the conviction that convicts you and you think you are in love.

I think the "true love" in your discussion is a little narrow--ture love not only exist between lovers and couples.Have you ever read a sentence"only the love your parents gave you is the sincerest,betrayal also exist between lovers".what I meant is that the only true love existing in the world is the parental love.I am not denying the love of lovers,for example,love of Romeo-Juliette.

I'm pretty much agree with you...actually true love can be considered as "agape love", the love that doesn't expect returns... Yes, it's sometimes exists between lovers, but it's mixed with eros love. Now imagine, can you accept if your lover get married with your best friend? If your honest answer is no, then it's not a true love. i believe that true love comes mostly in a form of parents' love to their children...

hii bonanza, i don't really know if i will accept it or not, but one thing is sure that i won't be able to see my lover with anyone. I'll prefer to go away from their lives than suffering from the loss of my love. i don't think i will hate my best friend but i won't be able to see them together.

you are right juan. the love our parent gives us is true and sincere. i have also read in an article that your Dog is the only being who loves you more than it loves itself. i think its true. This is true love. :)

Of course it does. I've been with my wife since I was sixteen, I'm now twenty three and although people think getting married at eighteen is too early we have never looked back. I really think people need to keep searching for the right person, these days it's all about chasing and having what people think is fun. One night stands and being dumped or dumping someone, there's more fun in having a successful relationship and it takes a lot of work.

True love exists, but not many people recognize what it really is. Many believe that love is s_ex. This is just the basic animal expression and after a while it is becomes less important in a relationship. Love is the total acceptance of another person/persons the way they are, without us wanting to change them in any way, but just supporting them in what they want to do in life. Yes, there is the physical contact that is comforting and pleasurable, but love is so much more than just this. Absolute love, I believe is a truly spiritual experience for all beings. We do not need them to be a certain way, or have any expectations of them. We do not even need to be in contact with them, it is an experience of compassion ultimately. _Derek

You are right, love is more than touching and kissing. But i think in this modern age, this forms part of love now.

I do believe that true love does exist, but not sure how many actually find it. I know that I haven't, even though I have loved. I look at couples who have stayed together for many years and still act like the newlyweds they started out as.......my brother is one example of that, although in the last couple years he has been ill and things have changed some. But you can tell that they are as in love today as they were over 30 years ago when they met and married.

Adam and Eve, Barbie and Ken, Brad and Angelina, Anthony and Cleopatra, Elvis and Priscilla, Shrek and Fiona and many other couples proved that true love really exist. It's our quest to find true love because it will surely make us happy.

There are always questions come out from our mind. So does true love really exist? Or is it just the name our society has put on the way we feel when we are strongly attracted towards someone?? Is true love known to last forever???? For me, YES, true love does exist...it is out there..and waiting for us^^

Once you met your true love, you start believe in it, but not all of us are so lucky to find it. I don`t think it`s a myth, i think is something very true, it`s just that it`s not happening just like in the books or in the movies, in reality is not so perfect, but exists. I found it, and i believe in it, because i know what i feel.

Yes the fact is true love does exist even in the present day society but the question remains how to figure out whether your love is true or not? True love is blind.When our love is true you would not even realize how and when you fell in it.It just happens to me.You would never even know or realize how you developed such feelings but you would have a strong inclination towards the person you love and such feelings would be heart felt.when your love is true the magic never ends and you still get the same feelings and butterflies in your stomach which you used to get when you fell in love for the first time.

definitely exists.. Although there are many love-hate relationships between parents and children, The true love between mother and daughter has been proven for so many times in history up to present.

I think the defintion of love have changed with the times. Your Romeo and Juliette has become our Bella Swan and Edward Cullen (cringe) But the general thought is still the same unconditional love. To a logical person like myself I feel these stories are more about desprate unhealthy love. I would give my life for a lot of people I love if I had to but I would not take my own life because of someone else. It's selfish to me. True love for me is that first look of a parent and their child, the pride on a mothers face as her child graduates, the love between two childhood friends who can not see each other for years then pick right back up where they left off, siblings laughing around a bondfire. I know true love exists but its not always the kind of love in the movies.

Yes of course, and you could know it when it'll come to you. Even how far is your knowledge with the "love" still the essence wouldn't be weigh if you haven't try. Books and stories let you see the overview of experiences of people when they meet love but you're story will be different so never think of absolute definition about "true love" if you , yourself haven't experience it.

By the way, true love is different from everyone opinions and point of views. Perhaps for you the others true love sounds not true and mine perhaps not as true love for your opinion. As for me, I yet to found and experience one true love. Simply perhaps I kind of picky and easy to let go of someone.

I think true love does exist.To feel it you have to listen to your heart.Our inner self can easily detect the change when one meets a person he/she can define as true love.It gives you a sense of feeling...complete.
