Does Real Love exist??????

Many of you would say, yes indeed, I'd say no. It's easy to believe love exists because of movies like Twilight or The Notebook. They are just movies. I don't wanna sound negative but nowadays love is understood from a different point of view. When I fall in love deeply, I give 100%, If I gonna do something, I do it right. That might be the problem, giving the best of you, giving everything is a lethal weapon; I really believe no woman is in the same page I am. What's wrong being romantic? What's wrong calling your girlfriend when you feel bad or depressed because you had a terrible day at work and need some support? What's wrong thinking of driving at 7am on a weekday to her place and handing her her favorite cup of coffee from Starbucks as a surprise ??Having a relationship when everything is romance it might sounds awsome but real love is shown when the couple is going trhu problems and the key is to work them out together. Many times I think love is not for me due the fact women are not in the same page I am, among some other million of reasons. Im not perfect and nobody is, you must remember when you are in a relationship there's must be balance all the time. For ex: if you are on top of details, if you call her when she's sick, if you are there for here when she might feel down for anything, you'd expect kind of the same thing from her to you. Im not trying to say we must give thinking we must always receive. It's about common sense and justice. When you give 100% of your heart to someone, your girlfriend must do the same on her way of course otherwise, there's not a balance and the relationship will fall apart sooner or later. Life is so unffair but I guess there's nothing you can do. I've been criticised so much for being a romantic man and for giving all my best and sweet feelings when I fall in love. Guess what???? I don't give a s... what other people think, Im a honest man, romantic and the woman who wants to be with me must like it and live with it the same way I'd accept her character, but please stop playing with our feelings and dreams. i thought my hapiness arrived to my life but I was wrong, everything was a dream I woke up, I am alone again. I don't pretend to be dramatic and if I am, I don't give a d.... Im pretty sure million of men are wondering the same: Why a devoted man like me got this ending???? I was always loyal to her, never lied, I was a gentelman, I'll never understand it, if someone has the answer please let me know , I have so much love to give and no woman gets it, no woman appreciate it ! Thanks for reading!

I hope you find someone who appreciates you, women are scared of love, we get emotionally battered by men who are users and when a genuine decent guy comes along we are scared it's an act and one day the mask will fall off and he will turn out to be like every other self seeking butthead. Be strong real love exists it's like gold very rare and precious.

Love exist, but isn't always be a happy ending for both of you. You may let go of someone sacrificing your own happiness for that someone's.

OP, you are committing the fallacy of equivocation, or else you are not making sense.

You open by saying that real love does not exist, (as a concept, as a feeling, as a something) and then later you say that real love is shown when... and you state a number of conditions.

This is something you must be aware of when you write: the logical constructs must fit. You can't say that something does not exist, and then continue with the understanding that it exists.

If this situation arises, you must state how a number of occurrances of the same term in your text are different in meaning. You shouldn't let the reader figure out for himself that you are okay. You must give that impression ab ovo if you want to be read by serious readers.

Sorry, but I seem to be reading something different here. Maybe I'm wrong; but I suspect calling and dumping your bad day on someone on a regular basis is not love....it's dependancy. Once or twice about something, ok. After awhile......get over it!
Also; showing up at 7am with my favorite coffee on a regular basis would feel more like mistrust than love.

All this drama ( and they say it's womendoh )

Giving a woman diamonds and calling yourself generous is not true if she wanted a burritto. mistrust is not love it is insecutity.

Men and women should get together to lift each other and their spiritsup; not to dump all their crap on each other. Everybody has bad things happen to them. It is not what happens to you but how you handle it.

Does real love exist?
Whatever you believe – you are exactly right!

Yes, I do believe that real love exist because real love exist in my heart. As Jadire quoted “Love is patient, love is kind, does not envy, does not boast. It is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self seeking, not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hope, always perseveres, love endures and Love never fails. I have experienced true love twice and I know how beautiful it is to love and to be loved. God took the first one after three years and the second got involved with another woman while on his overseas business post. For peace in my heart and to be fair on him – we agreed to end the marriage. I believe grudges and anger are poison to my body and I don’t want any of it, so I have to let go with all my heart. We are human to make mistakes so I have forgiven him and given him my blessings to be happy.

The experienced of being cheated was painful but it will not stop me from loving if I fall in love again. I believe that true love exists and that what is for me and who is for me will never pass me by. The right person will come. I will never know from where but will come on the right time.

All I can say is that it is hard to find true love when you are in a rush. Be patient. Take time to get to know someone either from CS or from somewhere. Know if you have the same values. Know if things that are important to you are also important to him/her. There are things in our life we can let go but there are also values that we hold on dearly with no compromise. Good communication is very important. Treat everyone with care and respect. Yes, there will be someone out there that will take advantage of your kindness – evaluate the relationship from acquaintance if it’s worth taking to friendship level. From here you will know if it is worth pursuing to the next level not just from your point of view and what you feel but from the other persons feelings as well. Relationships can happen sometimes in an instant with the right person but mostly it does happen when you are not looking for it. Enjoy life and enjoy the experience. All the best to you all..

We could spend our lives waiting for the stars send us to "love
true ", or that the destination you can think of ourselves in the place and time
precise in which we encounter with this "half " to make us
happily ever after, like a movie, because in reality anyone can create in the time you choose and can have as many as you want.
"Yes there is the love of your life, but you decide who and what you get when there is a commitment by both parts if you want and value yourself and the other is perceived"
teddybear
One common mistake is to become a chameleon for fear of not being accepted, "begin to act and show someone you're not. "
Those who are "waiting "for the love of his life analyzing what has been wrong and change it before blaming the destination.
People must learn to know each other well, trust themselves, be safe, valued, understand who they are, mature, be loyal and true to themselves, grow, be accepted, wanting to love each other and then another, and commit to live an intense , Passionate and true loveteddybear

Yes love does exist and no not just in movies........i had this love once for 26yrs and yes it has its ups and downs any relationship will have that..........love has a funny way of showing up when you least expect it but when love shows up you had better be ready to have a life changing experience....
sweetmango6
Love is like a butterfly,..
If you pursue it,.it will elude you,.
If you forget about it,.
It will come and rest gently on your shoulder,.
Jadire
Well, I have a different perspective.

Yes, Real Love exists...when you give it. Not to say, ok, give/receive. No. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." It is enduring. "Love covers all sin".

In my opinion, if we are expecting love, then we will not ever receive real love ----it is a fallacy to expect not to be hurt/betrayed ...even accidently. But we can give real love, can't we? And, to me, thats the only "real love" that exists----that which you yourself give, not what you yourself expect.

Hi Alex

Real Love does exist. But we always find at the end, we met wrong person to shares, so it become a bad experienced for us and came up like your questioned, does real love exist?.

I didn;t yet found this real love, but i always keep my positif thinking, that real love are exist. someday, somehow, no matter how old the world will be, you will get it. If don't atleast enought for us to give out our "real love inside us" to others, that mean REAL LOVE DOES EXIST, from OUR SELF.

Cheers

Hello Alexquitar just wanted to say firstly us women have the exact same let downs, give all, dont lie and when you are a genuine person with so much love to give it comes naturally and you think thats all there is to it. Reading between the lines here it seems to me that what you are not doing, and I need to take this advice myself, is protecting yourself, do not give all of yourself too quickly to someone you may not know, allow yourself the time to find out if they are the right one for you not the other way around.
Its really not that no woman gets it, its about some people not getting it, and as we can not tell until we really know someone we should not in the first instance give everything to someone we cannot possible know will appreciate it: in time yes, when you know they deserve it.

Weve all made this mistake, myself recently too, and now hes with someone who lies and cheats to him, what he gave out came back to him - and your gentlemanlyness will come back to you with the right person.

Just dont rush in.

Hi Alex, i agree with you my friend. Romantic love as we know it just doesn't exist anymore. Certainly not in the way we believe it to be. I'm a very romantic person but it doesn't seem to mean anything to women anymore. They seem to be more interested in the contents of my wallet and what car i drive. My heart has been broken twice after i gave everything 110%. An older friend once said to me "love them yes but keep 20% back for yourself ". At the time i didn't believe him but i think he was right, unfortunately. I think a lot of girls now get treated so badly that they think its normal. They meet a lovely man, don't think they deserve to be treated nice and so go back after the bad guys again. Its usually the good looking guys that are the culprit. They are mainly players and cheaters and liars who spoil it for us decent guys. I'd love to meet a woman who feels like i do about love. I'm slowly losing faith that i will. We live in hope that there is a soul mate out there for us. I hope she finds me.

Hi Alex, well you really know what it takes from two people to make a relationship work..... and you sound like someone who has so much love to give.
Don't ever give up.... true love certainly does exist.. though it may not seem that way now... There are so many women who are looking for someone with your attitude and sincerity... just relax, don't try too hard, as the harder you look, the longer it seems to take. Put yourself out there in the right places, and I'm sure someone special will turn up when you least expect it!!! You certainly deserve it.

Best of luck!

There are 'Givers" & there are "Takers." Takers always seek out Givers. They say love is blind. I say true love sees Everything but accepts the bad w/ the good. If you try to stay objective & unemotional when you first meet someone, you will begin to recognize the signs of a Taker… & then RUN, Forrest, RUN!

yes it dose love is a release of nontoxic endorphins in the brain when two people connect

Sonny;
She is probably very very pretty. Pretty girls can rip your heart out.
All the same I hope you two find an avenue back together .. it sounds like you love her .. and she probably loves you, too .. in other words love exists - you are in the throes of it and you are very young, it matures when you get older :)

What *is* love? ..... Everyone here seems to have a very "clear" idea of what they are actually writing about. Are you all so certain about what love *actually* is?
tomboygirl
i know love exists because it existed in me and my husband for many years.it made me happy and filled me up,i was more patient and conciderate of others,and happier in myself and couldnt help expressing my affection because i felt at times id burst.after my husbands death i continued to feel it pouring out of me,but i had no-one to give it to and it slowly dried up,and for a while i felt nothing but negative feelings,pain,huge loss,and i missed my old life.
almost six years later im still single but i have started to feel this feeling of love in just the same way i felt while happily married,for supportive friends and my children,it fills me up and makes me happy,and sooo much more giving to everyone around me.
i believe we can create this feeling inside ourselves,the more we give and take from the type of people who value and want this love and reciprocate the more we can produce.
the main thing to consider is who we put close to us.
pouring your love and good feelings into a vacum is so obviously a mistake.
its a simple thing,and common sense to give your love to those who want and value your gift enough to give you a gift of their own.
sunnynow
I too wonder is it real, I think maybe I have never truly experienced it.
I though I picked a great man when I married 27 years ago.
I am now single and pine for that one true love. I have seen it in some couples but not many.
It is said you don't need a man to be happy, but a real love where everyday you wish to make your partner happy and they wish the same for you must be just the best way to travel through life.
I hope one day this will be true for me.

LOVE IS EVERYWHERE , but one must be patient ,so i say to you let your heart tell you because when it happens your heart will be kick started. ROBERT..

true Love does exist. It's pure. Not selfish. It's kind not forceful... It's makes you feel complete. Deep down inside.. it's not boastful or proud. It's gentle, it's undescribible. Ya see. you can only fine true love in Christ he will never leave you. He and only he knows you more than your very self.
So yes, although we find ourselves on this endless journey of love in search of love and EXceptance...The truth is that love - True love can not be found if we search for it in a forceful way from another.. But by seeking Gods face and letting patience have her perfect work in you- through spirital surgery... God will release the one "HE" has created you to be with and not you...
So let's all get out of Gods way, try to lean on him for love and guidence and not between sweaty sheets that don't belong between your legs in the first place...i love you... do you? do you know who you truly are... and "WHO'S" you are???

It's the problem, if you don't believe that real love exists, you won't find it...

You create your world with your thoughts and beliefs. You have what you want.....

I believe that real love exists, of course I had some big deceptions, even lately, but it has made me stronger and gave me some experience I would not have without it.
debbie06
I completly agree. I dont believe love exists, not anymore. The younger generation (that i am a part of) have spoiled it with drunken antics, game playing, and also the inability to actually stay faithful. Ive had 2 bad relationships and it has dampened my idealistic view of the romantic tale of love. I look at romance from when my parents were dating and you just cant find commitment and grand gestures like it. My parents used to write love letters and my dad waited 3yrs for permission off my grandad to marry my mum. He moved from Scotland with no money and just his record collection to be with her. They are still together after 32 yrs and still love each other unconditionally (abeit they are more comfortable and satisfied) and win the 'Mr and Mrs games' 100% everytime. Nowadays its all bout how many u can 'pull' and friends with benefits. One day i do hope that my cynical view of love will be changed and that i will find love, truthful, faithful, romantic love. But for now, i try to stay clear so i dont get my heart broken.
Good luck to all those who believe they have found their 'love'

The way I know true love exists is watching my parents while growing up. They married after 3 weeks of knowing each other. They have been married 53 years.

They still are there for each other and love spending time with each other, but they also have different hobbies and intrests. For example, my dad likes to go on hunting trips (sometimes to Bolivia). My mother never kicks up a fuss because she knows that is one of his passions. Sure she misses him, but she's glad he's having fun. Same is true of dad. Mom likes to get her four sisters together and go somewhere they've never been. Dad knows she's enjoying herself. It's amazing because they have total trust and honesty between each other.

The also have discussions about current events and always talk to each other after 53 years. To me, that's perfect.

Twilight has given teenage girls the completely wrong view of love. I think true love exists it's just really hard to find-I just quit looking it will come around if it's meant to be

Real love do exsist, but not easy to find.
Be patient, you will find one.

Good luck
southmiami
I totally agree with you.
Love is not a one way street but there is always one that gives more than the other.
There has to be some kind of balance to really make a relationship work because it won't be fair then.
That's why communication is so important from the begining and see the expectations from one another, don't dig to deep into your next relationship, be patient, be friends get to know each other more.
See if that is the right person for you as it will be for her.
Not many men believe in love like you do and want to expose themselves as you do.
Good luck!
sweet_saucy2008
I have never met someone like yourself who feels the way that you do about love. I would always be the one to give more than 100% and get less than 25% in return. It has either been bad choices or slim pickins.

Anything I could dream of doing would be stomped on in an effort to stop me from fulfilling what I wanted to do. I am intelligent, friendly, and still willing to give love a chance if it comes along again.

I can relate very well to what you are saying. peace
mayor007
Buddy, you sound like one who just had a broken relationship. I am sorry about that; but here is the kicker, until we learn how to choose wisely, love will continue to a flight of the imagination.
