the L word.

does anyone here believe in true love?
it's hard to be optimistic about such things these days. In fact, love seems more like a fairy tale we read when we were 9 than a realistic possibility. Maybe it's the high divorce rates that have got me down. I just want to believe there's still hope out there..but it's becoming harder to.
Do you guys think love is a temporary state of mind, where man is merely disillusioned? Or that it's possible that love can happen...just like in stories and movies?

(ps. im not talking about all kinds of love-love between a child and mother for instance does not apply to this)

i think it's tuffer these days cus ppl give up so easily - they expect relationships to be easy - they expect marriage to be easy - none of these things are easy - they all take alot of work and time - ppl jus don't have patience anymore - and they see divorce as an easy way out -

my parents would have divorced already if they had grown up in this time - but they stuck thru the good and the bad - and now they have a deeper understanding of one another and my mom says she wouldn't have it any other way - u have to be strong and learn how to live with another person - u have to learn how to compromise but unfortunately not many ppl wanna do that
we live in a world where we expect results right away - that's not how life works

but yea i believe love exists but i don't think it's that fairytale love where u live happily ever after - u go thru shit together and that makes ur bond stronger -

I agree 100% .

I'm still young and have never experienced "true love". I have no idea if it exists. May be so. My mother is getting married next year. She never married before. So maybe it does exist.

Dammit branh😢

But yeah,if your expecting the movies so-called version of "true love" what you get is a whole lot of nothing,meaningless crap called lust.Men generally don't look at love in the same way as women,if they just met you,they don't give a shit about you just like what women feel also but deny it cause they're horny,in love with the idea of being in love or whatever.
