jac379: If you don't know what something is, how can you find it?
Noone has defined 'true love' with any level of logic, ergo its not logical to think you can find it, or put a measure upon finding it.
Looking for something indefinable and somehow ultimate, will lead to disappointment because you will always be wondering whether its true, or genuinely true, of really, really true, or quite true enough.
Surely that's exactly the mindset which leads to the constant looking which you complain about and believe people to be incapable of 'true love' for? That seems a little ironic, to me.
I gave my definition of true love, alas you didnt agree with it. But in my opinion, yes I had it once, so I know what it is (in my opinion). And not complaining by any means, but merely pointed out that a dating site would not be the place to expect to find it. :-) Dating sites you would expect to go on dates but not to expect much more than that :-D But if someone DID find true love on here, then fair play to them...maybe thats another thread. How many people on this site have found love..............let alone true love.....lol

I found love when I was married in 1962. He died in 1975. Never found a love that was an honest love after that.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE HAVE BEEN WITH SOMEONE WHO SAID,I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND THEN TO FIND OUT IT WAS A LIE.IN THIS MODERN WORLD DOES LOVE REALLY EXIST,MATERIAL THINGS AND VANITY SEEM TO BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.
You could be right there Carl. The trick is finding someone to share it with and to live out each other's delusions. Simple .... Billions of religious folk seem to achieve it every day. The next trick is prolonging a return to sanity for as long as possible ....
Hi Pedro ... perhaps it is a just hard to live up to.
dee048: 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 :-)
That initial "wow factor" could be infatuation as well. Infatuation doesn't always lead to love once the "honeymoon period" is over.
hoolet: Looks to me like most people WON´T find it.............cos they don´t know what they´re looking for...........S..A..D
I wonder sometimes as well if we close our minds to possibilities due to the guidelines we place on what/who we are looking for. We may think we want this, and that, and another thing in a partner, and perhaps miss out on a very special someone because he/she didn't fit neatly into what we thought we were looking for.

I've thought of that. and tried to be open minded. ended up loving someone that was outside my general plan. twice. still crashed and burned.
sucks being the common denominator in my own loneliness.

But the good news is, they are stepping stones Treat...and with each experience, you learn more about yourself.
So far, every woman treats her dog better than her man.
They can't tell the truth, so you can never trust her.
They will pour their heart and soul into a relationship with a turd, then becry all men are scum, and won't even think about being with the nice guy who is truly a gentleman.
