Jillll: Because true love is not selfish and people are innately selfish looking for what they can get out of a relationship and not what they can give.
For instance, is monogany a "condition" therefore can´t be part of an unconditional love relationship?
of course certain "ways" would need to be mutual on both sides, it would be difficult to be unconditional if ones morals or values are pushed or broken.

You mean love could be unconditional once both set of values match?
Glatlol: Maybe its the opposite of false love lol.
You right though, love is love, simple.
I understand there are different types of love, the love a parent feels for a child is different from the love they would feel for their partner, the love one has for a pet could also be different, they are though all love, one could maybe call them real love or true love, but they are all love.
Yeah...so its huge tension between the desire to love and be loved, and the fear of intimacy and getting re hurt.
I personally believe that if we could be more fearless about loving, we could find many people among us, maybe even like right in front of us (and on this site) whom are lovable and that we could love at least on some level, if we were really willing to be open and less defended.
I've heard some people say that it's not even really 50/50 mutuality, but its gotta b 100 / 100, for it to be really amazing.
Anyways, that's what I think. Lots of really good points in this thread...
EagleWoman: Wouldn´t "common ground" be the same as having matching/similar set of values/morals?
they wouldn't need to be matching exact. If I wanted an open relationship and you didn't, how could there be unconditional love, it wouldn't work, some morals/values do need to be common between you both
True love is fairy tale late night reading, although finding that some one special, and living with the knowledge of deep and meaningful devotion to one and other is the greatest feeling in the world.
You find it after going through the trials and tribulations of searching for it, hence the pain when you lose it

... Well said. I sort of agree. I think real/true love is other centered and without expectations of each other and it can only be attained from life experiences without getting lost in all the selfish comfort zones... It's no fairy tale... IMO ......
true love can never be found..cause most people have a hard time trusting others,and even when they think they've found it,they always find a way to hurt each other,true love is only a fairytale.

They should just buy a dog.
It´s a little deeper than that.
I´m personally struggling with the concept ...
