I dont think you could ever find that on a dating site like this :-) ....I think people on here are always "keeping their options open" and dont think people give enough time to get to know someone before moving on to the next...maybe Im wrong....but...maybe im not.
Real love is when you bump into someone and something happens straight away :-)

wash2u: Love is unconditional. When it is conditional, it is not love at all.
So it wasn't true love which you had with this woman you found in bed with someone else?
The condition was that she was monogamous and you'd stay together, given you couldn't be with her under the conditions of infidelity and you no longer love her.

So, in real life it has to happen straight away, but on a dating site people have to give it enough time?

sophiasummer: oh gosh may have to this in to the unconditional police box. Hi Jac, yay! xxSoph
You're in love with Dr. Who? (Have you ever seen Dr. Who? Its a part of British culture and there's a sort of unconditional Police Box that's an integral part of the story line. Its also now filmed, but a few miles from me, with lots of local people as extra.)

Isn't that just a teeny weeny bit contradictory?
No...not contradicitng....
On dating sites, you sit chatting to someone for days and days....and texting etc and think you are getting on great... you meet and you still get on great...go on more dates but in the meantime, they are back on the site looking for the next one. Thats what I mean,
But,When you meet someone for the first time in the flesh (never seen or heard of them before)....you know more or less straight away whether you like them or not.....you both feel something in your gut...and thats the spark (that so many people are looking for on sites).

Love can only be found within oneself. Only when you are ready to give love, will you receive.
It seems to me that the phrase "true love" is laden with expectations that a potential partner needs to fulfill, which of course will make this idea of love very elusive, if not non-existent, as finding someone 100% compatible to one's needs is pretty much impossible.

So on a dating site, all people will look for other people because they don't know if they like you after meeting you, but in a real life chance meeting, they will like you after meeting you and not look any more?
My favourite was the last doc who, with the crazy eyes.
My parents allowed me to watch it in the the 70s they were very cool, i suppose my parents being in the happening of music industry, they were very on to different scenes , loved it!
No Pedro....nothing wrong with that. But in answer to the question, is true love hard to find....on dating sites it would be impossible....its the real life hit that does it :-)

In the 70's, I used to hide behind the sofa.
It wasn't filmed in Wales back in those days. Only since Christopher Eccleston was the Doctor.

Why is that then?
Jac, Jac, Jac. Have you never had great reporte (whatever the spelling but you know what I mean) with someone on a website and finally met them and no sparks fly?
Silly me, I can have great sparks flying over words typed and well thought out (I do it) but when it comes down to brass tacks, it is not until those sparks fly on meeting that we (okay, me) knows if there really is a bond.
I have recently had great words over the net and a few calls with a good lady, but the touching was not on. When we met, the vibes were all wrong for me. But if the vibes (oky, very archaic terminolgy but....) are there, then it is time to stop. If not, time to call it quits and go on.

Because the "spark" or chemistry is there instantly....and then you would be almost inseperable....they are happy straight away with what they have found. See, with dating sites, I think its addictive, you just have to go on to check to see whos on there and then you chat to someone else, and thats the end of the previous one that you may have been seeing for a week,month, year etc etc. Thats why its called dating sites...if there was sites called true love sites, would love to see what would happen on them LMAO

So, if there's a 'spark', or chemistry instantly, you're both happy straight away and you're almost inseperable its true love, or genuine love and its not possible that a few weeks, or months down the line that you find out that you're not compatible for some reason? The sparks don't fizzle out, the chemistry doesn't go pH neutral ever?

Film screens? I'm not with you, Sophia.
(Only on CS could you have a discussion about true love, or genuine true love, running concurrently with a discussion about Dr. Who, but then many would say they were one and the same thing. )

Well I guess thats the difference between "love" and "true love"... love could last a year or so....true love is a lifetime...
Question on here was "is true love" hard to find....

Course it is....lol
So the definition of true love, is love that lasts for a lifetime, in your opinion?
What is the definition of "love"?
And if dating websites are irrelevent to finding true love, or love, is every single person on here looking for dates to fill up time until they randomly bump into someone by chance who can be their true love, in your opinion?
dee048: Thats what Im trying to get at.....but after the initial meeting (chance meeting I think is what its called), everything falls into place from thenon. You just want to see that person all the time, get butterflies in your guts when their number comes up on your phone....bla bla......No harm in wanting different things, but then compromising solves a lot there. I think thats what true love is....but please feel free to correct me if im wrong. And youre addicted to that one person, not a website full of pictures not knowing if this person is real or fake :-)
I would love to be able to correct you on this one. But I so much agree with you. That feeling hurts so much that you want that person so much more.
And at times the couple is not in synch at the same time. After having known a true friend over the last 15 years, it is also comes down to the "what if" question. 1,000kms apart now and neither will move, being true friends is the best for us.

Get over it! I can talk about what appeals to me. Thank you

Yes Jac, thats true love...a lifetime. Actions and emotions say it all.
Definition of love - this can be broken for whatever reason...to most people, love is just a word. And used and abused when needed. Some people for example beat the crap out of each other...then the next day the words "but you know I love you" come flying out..and its supposed to make it all better.
True love situations, this would never happen as there is a lot of respect etc..... Two 70 years old people still walking hand in hand etc. ahhh you get the idea.
Thats why Im saying True love is hard to find......maybe only ever once in your lifetime would this happen, (if you are lucky).

Love is unconditional. When it is conditional, it is not love at all.
