I don't know... Before I always dream of being with a man, being with the one, my true love. But now, the generation is different. Many are playboys, liars, not faithful. It is so hard to trust someone new that will come in our life. Really Hard... I don't know If I'm still going to feel it, to be loved by a true person. Maybe I'm still hoping? It is really sad... Specially this season. It's Christmas and I'm alone, Still Alone... Maybe I should accept it... Fairy tales don't exist in the real world, true love never happen. I don't know...

I am here to say that true love does exist. I know first hand. But I would not want what happened to me, happen to you. I fell in love 25 years ago with a girl that I knew was the one. But, unfortunately she was going with my cousin. I could not interfere with their relationship. Here is a part that bothers me. She also fell in love with me. But like me, she was with him and respected the fact that I did not get involved. When she left my cousin, it was after an argument of sorts. She left and I have not seen her for 25 years. I did go on with my life though. I wound up meeting someone else and got married. Needless to say, my marriage broke up and I met up with this girl from years ago. It was like all those years never existed. We hooked up, finally, and we are together forever now. But, all those missed years, that is the sad part. So, don;t let this happen to you. If you know the person is the one, and believe me, you will know when it happens, do not let them go. No matter what situation. I now look back a realize I should have said something then. I was wrong for not doing that. Because my cousin was not respectful to me back then. But like they say Hind site is 20/20.

Nice sharing! However, come to think of it, perhaps you wouldn't have appreciated more (or vice versa) if the 25years hadn't happened. I think God has reasons for everything and understanding those reasons are beyond us.
I guess we should always be thankful because amidst every storm comes a silver lining.
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

I am sure there is a reason why we were not together from back then. But I don't think god had anything to do with it. I think it was more of a serendipity thing. But, yes, there is a silver lining, and in my case with her, I would say more like platinum.

Believe me, you will say otherwise when you fall in love again.
I know that there are times when we would be fed up with the kind of men (or should I say boys) are these days. You would be the best girlfriend or partner in the world and regardless what you do, they would always look or sway to another person.
I know it's tough to give your faith and trust to someone. It's also tiring to get to know another one, open you heart out, then eventually after a while, they too would just do the same.
But try as we might, we can't stop ourselves from falling in love. We can't stop our hearts from beating. Neither could we truly choose the ones we fall in love with (most of which are the wrong people).
But I guess you should just be thankful for having felt love. Perhaps life is just telling you to learn from these mistakes so that you could appreciate the one true love when you finally meet him.
Don't lose hope. But don't give in quickly as well. Learn to value yourself and never stop taking chances. Who knows, you are single this Christmas Season, but you'll spend your entire life with the right one. Perhaps this is the last Christmas Season you'll be alone, right? Have faith, if not with boys, have faith in God.
Have a great MyLot experience ahead! Happy Holidays!

WoW!its a great advice . I feel the sincerity in what you say. Your right! we can only say what we feel right now but everything will change if we fall in love again. For now even me I spend 3yrs alone in Chritmas. No special someone but my family are here and I feel very happy of that.

I hope that this new year 2012 bring true love in your life. But remember true love never means a boyfriend. What would you call love of mother who sacrifices a lot for your well being. So my friend, you do have true love just Look around and give same love to her too.

When I got married I believed in true love. I thought it would be easy and we would have a happy life forever. I've been married now for ten years and I question if it exists. Though my husband is a hopeless romantic and believes we will die together no matter what I still have my doubts. Over years things change, people change and circumstances change. Don't get me wrong, I know relationships have problems, but I wonder if some problems are to deep to repair.

I really appreciate your definition of true love. Whereas others only think love of a boyfriend/girlfriend as true.

I believe in true love, because I know I am capable of giving true love. I know that I am able to love and that I am able to share my heart with that person whom i have given my love. Maybe those who are not capable of loving are those who have been broken, deceived before... but i guess sometimes when we are so bruised, we tend to just want to protect ourselves... but we won;t be able to do that if we do not allow ourselves to heal. when we are healed, that is when we would be most happy - free and ready to love again. each person is different; we should not be afraid to love and allow others to love us...

hi vycess,
I do understand your feeling. I came to that point too. Feeling numb and would never want to give it a try again when it comes in loving someone. I feel so reluctant to give love and to give trust. However, I realize that nothing good will happen if I continue with such thinking. I just think that life is not perfect and God has a reason for everything.I still do not have a boyfriend now but I am not closing my heart to have a new love again. I belief that life is still beautiful. Whenever I feel that there is so much trouble in my heart, I just think that there are other people who might be more troubled than I am. There are more people out there who has heavier and more serious problem. I am still thankful that even though I do not have my Mr. Right still, I still have my family and friends who love me.
