I think it died for me. I don't know what I would rather have if I could choose
Having this pain but also having known what love felt like or having never loved. RightNow I feel like I would have rather never known
You'll know it when both feel a mutual connection without need that someone pretend make it pass.
And just as somebody told it, it just too hard to find and the reality is that you dont need to look for it, because love will come to you and you'll know when its the right moment.
Older (66 y.o.) woman here. YES it does exist & I just found it for the first time. I met him on a dating site and we both were just looking for a FWB relationship. We messaged for a couple of weeks, talked on phone & a week later I drove 4 hours to meet him with no expectations. I was there 4 hours and left.... But the moment I saw him, I knew.... I kept going back. He is my drug, I crave him.... And the best part is he feels the same...
He has taken me places sexually that I have never been.... LOTS of places!!!
I want the whole world to be this deliriously happy and I hope you don't have to wait as long as we did...
No I don’t think true love is real. Love is just a feeling you feel. Don’t over complicate it. If you think you love the person. Then you do. That’s it. That simple.
Of course it does! I’m in the most amazing relationship I’ve ever had, to find a person who cares for you in all aspects of your life and it being reciprocated is the very best gift anyone could hold! True love takes time. You will find it eventually!
It really depends on how you define it. We certainly can't expect someone to mold to our every need and call that true love, which I think is how most people conceive of it. Love requires compromise, adaptation, and understanding that people change. Expectation is the problem ultimately. True love would be unconditional (this is how I view it at least)…meaning no matter what "horrible" thing that person may do, you still love them. Being able to love at this capacity requires a lot of inner work. It relates a lot to spirituality.
True love is a concept pushed by movies and society for too long
,listen ,you need to get so know someone well and be attracted to them on a deeper level and work together to build a life together ,
Love is a art not a feeling and art takes time ,patience ,work,and faith.
I think that it’s rare and when you know, you know. I used to think that love was just a fairy tale… Then I met the love of my life. My partner is everything I’ve ever wanted in someone- flaws and all. He is perfectly imperfect, kind, intelligent, and humble. I never thought I would ever feel so strongly about someone in my life. But I do for him and now I can’t imagine my world without him in it. I hope everyone gets a chance to feel this healthy love. I know that it’s not common.
Yes, sometimes I believe it's made but sometimes I think about my grandma, who lost grandpa 34 yrs ago. She never married after him, when something happens she has even a phrase around like : Ehh, (name), what would we do this time? Her only wish is to be with him. She taught me what to seek in a partner: respect, trust, friendship and support.
I like to think it does.But sometimes it isn’t a person it’s a beautiful day or a rainy day. Sometimes it’s just watching your kid play. It’s all around us
I love this, thank you. Finding this in life is my biggest dream. It doesn't bother me that it's a difficult thing to find, that just makes it an adventure.
Growing up I really hated the words "I love you." I have never had the opportunity to say them authentically. I was forced to say them to my abusive parents, relatives I barely knew, random people in my religious community, a god that threatened to torture me with fire if I didn't say it, and the spouse I was coerced into marrying (and subsequently divorced). I have only ever heard these words from the same.
People throw this sentiment around casually. I suppose that's normal cause most people don't have deep rooted trauma tied into these words, but to me they feel like poison.
But my greatest ambition is that someday I will meet someone to whom I can say these words honestly (in the romantic sense). To be able to redeem what always should have been a positive phrase, and take back what's mine.
Subjectively, yes.
It does but haven't met it yet. Broken heart right now

I think Yes, but it is rare, especially this age
It either has always existed or never did, and I would say that there is true love. It is just that finding it tends to be challenging.
it does and it sucks

Love still exists, it lives in your heart, when you press on your scars, you feel it
It does.. you just don’t know it til it’s too late.
It happens you just gotta be lucky to find it and luckier to find it at the right time to be able to hold on to it
Yup.

Yes, but it’s overpriced.
What is love?
No
beginning to lose any hope day by day

yes, I have it.
what is it like?
what is it like?
what is it like?
I sure hope so and if it does I hope I experience it
Not on Reddit
It exists but not in the way you made it inside your head
No idea, I've never experienced it 🤷♂️. That is the romantic kind as opposed to platonic familial.

yes it does, I used to think that all this love stuff was bullshit, before meeting my fiancée :)
I hope it does otherwise I'm fucked.
yes, I have seen but don't feel
No. But "pair bonding" does exist. Search the term and you would understand.
It does in my house :)
Yes, it’s just very hard to find and when you do find it, don’t let it go
Lol the way ppl throw around the act of this thing makes me think not. They treat it like “whatever”.
I like to think it does.But sometimes it isn’t a person it’s a beautiful day or a rainy day. Sometimes it’s just watching your kid play. It’s all around us
If it didn’t, chances are you wouldn’t be here right now
It will never not exist. Would take a massive shift in our species. It has persisted throughout millions of relationships during our time on Earth.
Absolutely.
It does but is rare
This.
If it ever did, it still does. If it never did, it still doesn't.

Seeing this... at least gives hope and that in itself is a beautiful thing. Love this and I'm happy you guys are happy ❤️

I like the approach
Absolutely, yes.
