What do you consider to be true love?

[Kraven]

This is a rather touchy subject, but feel free to discuss and rant to your heart's content. Do you consider the truest love to be pure? How does one define true love? Do infatuations count? How does the significance of sex roll into the equation? The questions don't stop here, but they should get us started.;)

All of these questions need your consideration.

Let the thought process begin!:D

True love is not really being able to say why you love someone, it's just natural.

[Elven Moon]

Uh... I guess...

Simply caring about the happiness and well-being of the person. If they date or marry someone else, you are simply happy that they will be happy. You are not selfish or hateful towards them. You know as much as one can about them and yet you love them anyway, even with their faults (ex: they eat with their mouth open, dress badly, etc.). You want to be around them but give them their space, and they do the same. You are simply content with being together, and no words need be spoken.

I have no first hand experience, but I tried :)

I don't believe it exists; it's only in the movies (in that case, Princess Bride is the best example of what it is).

Then again, I'm cynical and single so what do I know. :p

[Kury Wagner]

If you have to question it, I don't believe it's love. Categorizing, analyzing, and all that bureaucratic-nonsense ruins matters of the heart.

in that case, Princess Bride is the best example of what it isThat's right. Love really is rolling down a hill screaming "As... you... wishhhhhh!" *nods*

I don't believe true love exists.It's just a fantasy.

True love is caring for everyone, no matter what. That is love, despite what the cynics would say. (They are often unloved even by themeselves)

There are different types of love of course. there is the love developed in familly for one sibling or parent. There is the love developed between God and oneself, much like of a child to parent. There is the love of freindship, in which friends truly care about each other and stand by each other.

There is of course the romantic love (Th one I assume is the main topic of this thread) in which a girl and a boy fall in love with each other, thought it may be temporary and may just develop into a friendship instead as something serious. Do not confuse love with lust. Love is caring and thinking, lust is the thoughts of animals and a vice in humans. Love is NOT lust.

But sometimes such love develop into the bond of mariage. Marriage is a another certain type of love, unique and very personal. It goes far beyond the physical as well. Take a look at grandparents, who for 40 years know each other and love each other, know each ones feelings and trying to help each one out. That is the love of mariage.

True love is just a term people use to express how "special" their relationship is.

Ultimately, people decide what is real and what is not. Their love is only as true as they think it is. :p

Porn.

It's always there. It's readily available. You can't tired of it, and it's at your control.

Oh, you hit right on, Chad :shrug:

True love's gotta be something you feel. If your dating someone, and you say "I love you", those are just words. You've gotta actually act and feel on those words.

[Kury Wagner]

It's always there. It's readily available.I fear what you do to your computer... that's not what those ports are for, K5. >_>

[MM54]

True love is when you would do anything for that person and feel like you can't live without that person. It goes way beyond physical (even though there are physical aspects to any good relationship) and it's intensely emotional. It's something you just know is real.

...unless you're some kind of skeptic, that is.

[Gatomon41]

No that's just lust, something that corrupts and destroys.
