True Love, is it a myth?

Does true love exist? When do think you realise that you love someone? Or is it just a hollywood invention? What do we think?

    First post...so apologies if I've included a bizzare smiley or anything else I don't quite get yet! Anyway, I think true love does exist and even if it doesn't I would be quite miserable going through life thinking that there was no hope. I think Hollywood has blurred the reality and left us all looking for something that doesn't exist. True love differs according to each individual and so I don't think there is a certain time/action or anything to look out for?

    Hey, Yeah I do believe in love. Because I've been and am in love. But I do also think that Hollywood has distorted it so much by doing things like idealizing it, ie) making it seem that people in love don't have problems, fight whatever. And as I've mentioned before that we've been made to feel like we have to have someone to be a complete person, and that you can't be happy being single.
    And another fabrication I think is that there's only one right person out there for everyone. So people feel like they have to go on this hunt. When in fact you can fall in love with a lot of people. Anyone (including myself) who's loved and lost and loved again will tell you that.
    Just my thoughts <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    Yeah I'll still believe in love if I fall out of love with my partner. Cuz it happened before. I was with someone I thought I was going to marry and well, yeah. But I knew eventually I'd get over it and I did, and now I'm in love again

    I don't believe in love, I've never been in love and I doubt I ever will be. I've never met a nice bloke who I'm attracted to (I'm not gay) and all the blokes I am attracted to have been pricks.

    As for the media, I believe it's an ideological tool, I'd even go as far as to say that it's an escape from reality.

    I'm not being horrible to people who say they are in love, but I believe that it's all in the head. It's like a mental illness, except much more pleasent. I've had enough mental illness through depression, why would I want an obsession with another bloke to worry about?

    Maybe love does exist, even possibly, true love...it's hard for me to understand because it's never happened, but I doubt it will happen to me because I'm not that lucky. I suppose it's kinda like a religion, you believe in it or you don't.

    sorry if I'm pessimistic.

    Liberty, I hope to hell you're wrong. Without love, what would there be to live for emotionally?

    I've never been in love - I've had really big crushes, but I've never been in love. But I have seen people in love - basically all my mates at the mo are in a long-term relationship.

    I don't deny that love is very rare in the form that Hollywood portrays it, and it's is very hard to find anyways in real life. But it is out there - it is what makes the world go round, in one sense or another.

    I'll remain optimistic.

    Well sorry if I offended you, I meant true love more than anything. I love my family and friends, but I'll never meet a bloke who'll love me for who I am and who I'll be able to trust.

    Life's just not that way. The only guys I ever meet are perverts and after one thing. Don't wanna be tied down with a relationship cos I'm a lone wolf with a life to live.

    I do have friends, but recent experiences have shown me that you can't trust anyone.

    OPEN YOUR MIND...

    I like to think there is such a thing as true love, but like liberty, I myself havent ever found it. It would be nice but unfortunatly I dont trust men enough to love them. Dont see that ever changing either, but it dosent bother me. Im at my happiest when I am not in a relationship. I hate feeling vulnerable and the minute I start to put my trust in blokes it freaks me out anyway!This is probably due to all the wankers I seem to attract (ha ha ha), but who knows!?

    True love is an interesting point because i'm not sure my self, i fall hopelessly in love very easily - when it's the right girl. I look for a nice warm personality and someone who has opinions on things. Looks aren't that important to me, i've fallen for girls who most blokes would't touch with a bargepole. The only problem is is that girls don't fall for me. and those that show any interest in me at all blow me off the second someone else shows a hint of interest in them

    I think true love does exist but I don't think it is easy to find. I think everybody has a perfect partner somewhere in the world. I'm sure I do somewhere. You may find them when your 18. You may find them when your 40. Or you may never find them. Just try and enjoy life for the moment and Mr or Mrs right will find you sooner or later!!!
