Just wondering what others think. I'm really becoming a sceptic as of late with what you see on a day to day basis with relationships.

A sceptic as in septic tank or as in magic? Either one would be a shitty thought!

"True" love exists and its just as difficult to find it with the person you desire most as it is for the person who wants that connection with you.

Romantic love is overblown and I am not just saying that because I am a bitter ex-husband. I just have some sober insights. You could go knocking your head against a stone all day trying to figure it out. Commit to someone for many years of your life only to have it end and all those wasted years of sacrifice down the drain.
But let me try to give you some positives. The concept of romantic love is not set in stone. It has evolved over the centuries as human societies have evolved.
I could go on and spawn huge long paragraphs on the topic but I will spare you all and skip to the the bottom line.
While the meaning of true love may differ among people both people involved in a relationship must be prepared to commit and sacrifice in the long run. The other person must become a part of you. Both people must nurture the relationship and step up to protect or support the other person no matter what.

Romantic Love (as described above) I don't believe exists, and if it does - is extremely hard to find.
Lust & sex has taken over the dating scene to the point that anyone remotely wanting a
real relationship based on compatibility and cohesiveness cannot find it.
Now days, I believe you have to mentally and emotionally bring yourself to closure to accept one of two things:
1. Adjust to the mainstream ideology of "relationships" and accept hypersexualized, short lived connections or,
2. Accept being single due to your personal convictions and take the consequences thereof.
I spent all of my Twenties holding out on "love" and believing to conduct myself according to what I
thought was the correct way to obtain it. Now, after finally coming out of my "fairy tale stupor", I've come to the realization that Love (or a variation of it) only comes to those who are willing to modify their way of thinking and physical actions to obtain something equivalent to it.
If anyone truly finds
real love, I would hope they would fight life and limb to keep it because love is truly like playing the lottery - there's only a one in a million chance to strike it.

"true love" is a momentary relationship benefit - has nothing to do with "love"

Sheesh!
I'm glad ion know any of u miserable mofos in real life...sounds like summa yall need to tear down that wall of bitterness around your heart so true love can enter.
True love is easier to find than you think...most of the time, it is sitting right in front of your face. People just have to let go of these unrealistic ideas of what a relationship is suposed to be...
Hell I know I wouldn't be the man I am without my wife. She was the one who convinced me to get outta the street life
and she stuck with me even when I had nothing. Even when we were seperated, she ultimately had my back if I REALLY needed her. When we look back at all we've been thru, we feel as tho we can take on the world as long as we're by each others side. I can't describe the feeling with words, u just have to experience what it's like to have another person complete you...to have them point out flaws in yourself that you can't see all for the purpose of strengthening the FAMILY as a whole and vice versa...
When you mature and discover what's REALLY important in life, it's a beautiful thing

"Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;"
That is an excerpt from my favorite Shakespearean sonnet and in my estimation, a true representation of romantic "love."
It can and does exist, but only when both partners have unadulterated passion for the other. If that is not the case, or if at any point that fact is no longer the case, a chasm develops that will allow for unrest, unease, infidelity, untruths, even dissolution.
It's becoming less and less likely to find, because too many today are tying themselves up with imposters.
When we find the right person for ourselves, all can expect to suffer the slings and arrows of life. That is unavoidable. But, surviving them in good stead is the proof that you are indeed, with the right person.

i agree with classic and ucant. it does exist. some of us need to change our definition of true love. romantic love is only one aspect of true love. agape love is not always possible but it to me is more of a love that is true.

It all depends on your definition of true and of love.
Different things mean different things to different people, at different times in their lives.

What Trip said.....Love is an emotion, WTF is "True", a HIGHER degree of LOVE.
Tan I agree, I use to, and still think those fairy tales and romance novels clouded peoples opinions of what love is.

True love is not a fairy tale. That's where people mess up, believing it's going to be easy because the other person is going to
make them happy. Fairy tales end with, "...and they lived happily ever after...The End."
After "The End" is where the work begins to make true love keep working. It takes two working together
ever after to get the job done. The work never stops.
