Have you ever experienced true love?

I have experienced love in a major way, and believe it or not more than once in completely different ways. Whether thats true love or not, I have no idea. "True love" is more like something someone observing love would say, like "oh they're in love, I saw them when they met, and I knew it would be true love". Of course, any "love" as long as its real love can be "true love", so it really depends on what you decide "true love" or "love" to be for you. To describe love... You'll know love when you have love, and then you'll really know love as love progresses. Love can be like healthy lust for your soul that is so powerful and indescribable that you have to be love, and be in love, and experience love to understand how absolutely invigorating, inspirational, comforting, motivating, passionate, relaxed etc., etc., love can be. Love can be everything you are missing, or make you realize that you aren't missing anything, everything you need without actually needing a thing. Its like the best high you've ever experienced without being "high" even though you are. Love is complete emersion into every adjective, and chinese proverb ever spoken. Love can be a stroll in a summer dress through a mid july field of the most imperfectly beautiful combination of every imaginable flower, or soft breezy whatever you can fathom. Love can be a horizontal freefall around the globe through every weather pattern permitted by law of nature. I am totally not even describing it right, this is like totally inspiring a poem right now. Then if you ever end up breaking up with a love you'll hate love so much to the point where you (maybe) litterally feel like your guts got... not ripped out, but more like transported away from your body only to be replaced by something foreign. Like a blackhole spewing lava opened up in the trenches of your body felt in places you never could imagine existed within you because the sensation is bigger than you, or any other sensation may have ever been through in the past. Love is unique to the lovers, and should be cherished as a unique experience never compared to another except in fun, and a way to reflect, and improve the relationship you are in now. Never yearning for love past, because that can strip the trueness, and possibility of what you have now right off the bone. Dude, the evidence of love is being in it, and believing, and appreciating. Love can be very mature, or dangerously out of control depending on the partner. Anyway, I didn't do love justice, and maybe I sound like a crazy person right now, but who cares. Anyway, love is an ongoing choice, that many choose to throw away, or completely neglect. Emotion is the driving force of anyone no matter what. The greatest people I've ever encountered or read about have been totally accepting of their emotions, and embraced them, all the while maintaining internal peace of body and mind. Fall in love, I dare you.

When you are truly in love, you will feel such a swelling of emotions that you know no one can understand except for that person you are sharing the love with. It's also easy to tell love from infatuation because if you are infatuated with someone, you will kind of see some obvious holes in the relationship but you will ignore it. When you are truly in love, that person you are in love with is perfect and you ignore all his/her flaws.

And of course I believe in romantic love. All loves start out romantic. Then over the years, it starts to mellow down a bit, until you are both so old that you can no longer have sex or anything, but just share a mutual dependency and favoritism towards each other.

And yes, love is greatly influenced by emotion.

And yes, I have been in love before. When I was with him, I was excited to still see him everyday, more in a non-sexual way. The person you are in love with is your best friend, whom you can unload your burden to and he does the same to you. We wanted to spend time with each other all the time and when we didn't, we would always think about each other. And we would talk to anyone who would listen about how happy we were. Unfortunately, although the relationship has ended, I haven't gone through one day without wondering how he is doing, and I'm sure he's doing the same as well. I'm over him, but when you were in love with someone, you cannot help but still care about them. So not only is love great, it also hurts when it's over.

Well. I'm pretty sure im in love with my girlfriend right now. It's because we are always there when we need each other, we have our ups and downs, but every relationship has those. You will know it's true love when you realize that you can't be without that person and you are always there for them, and if they are having a bad day. Call them, no matter where you are or what you are doing. One time i was at work and my girlfriend was having a REALLY bad day at school, so i called her at work and made her talk to me. That made her feel better

I can't say Yes or No. But I can tell you how I felt. At that time ( When I was in love ) Everything was worthless it was like your so week yet so strong at the same time. You could have had the worst day in your life but just seeing the person you love makes it all better. Maybe it was just a crush. I can tell what it really was since she never knew ( we are still friends ) & the fact that she is getting engaged. But I can tell you that during that life time it was the best time of my life even thou a lot of terrible things happen to me during that time. She wasn't the prettiest girl in the world but to me she was beautiful even in her worst days. I loved her as a package, I loved everything about her. In the future I discovered that us together wouldn't have been that good but I still would have loved to see the end to my story. Who knows maybe I could be lucky enoght to feel that again with another one.

Yeah, my father and stepmother who have had more ups and downs than any relationship I've ever seen, but after all those years they still hold firmly to the belief that they're soul mates. Sometimes it's cute to watch them wait impatiently for the other to come home from work, or when one goes on a business trip the other hangs out lonely and quiet in front of the tv with a web cam nearby in hopes that the other logs in soon.

I experience true love every waking moment, because I have adopted the attitude that such is the natural state of mankind. Romance, or anything else on Tv, is overrated. True love is when you would give your life, or all you own, for another, and that attitude doesn't necessarily have anything to do with he-ing and she-ing. Emotion can enter into it, but the giving attitude is the more important indicator.

I think so. i'm still very young so when i look back on it i might not think so anymore but i wanted to spend the rest of my life with this guy and we had this whole life together planned out and i knew we'd be happy, but one day i think i realized i'd fallen in love with my best friend. so i ended it with my guy of 3 years and started dateing my best friend and even though we've only been together for a short time(few months) i can see myself with him as a family. before i would just think about and imagine my life with the other guy but now when i think about it i'm actually excited and ready for it.

i have no idea if that helped but i sure feel better :)

yep... dude...

i m in love, what i feeel its true love..

coz we have been seeing each other for last 5 years, in very unusual places like... on a picnic spot or while excursion to other state, or in Edens Garden(cricket Stadium) it means i was not sure that if she lives in my state (West Bengal, India) or not..

but fortune was that this winter we met again in train, in Beijing.

There we both decided to talk to each other and finally observed that our homes are just 3 Miles apart, but can u guess we have just met once out of a dozen in my state(West Bengal)

and now i think we are the the best pair. Coz i feel i m lucky to get her, and vice versa she feels she is lucky to get me.

So this is my side.

Yes

i believe everyone has their own definition of love. someone who grew up in a crack house has a different definition of love than someone who grew up in a million dollar mansion.

but to me love is sacrifice and compromise. you dont regret missing that party that everyone but you went to just to stay home with your boyfriend or giving up smoking because your girlfriend hates it and knows it will hurt you both in the end. you meet in the middle.

love is with someone you can talk to about anything and your not afraid to tell them the bad parts in your life. you can cry in front of them and not be ashamed. when you cant take your eyes off them and even have dirty dreams and fantasies of them.

you still get turned on when you see them changing clothes.

they can make you laugh even when your angry at them or when your crying.

i believe i am in love with my boyfriend. i do not know if its real or imagined. sometimes i ask myself if its real or is it lust? how do i know when im in love? but everytime he holds me close in his arms, kisses my forehead, and tell me goodnight i know its love.

however, i cannot offer you evidence, how can you give evidence of an emotion? it's not possible. i could show you pictures and you could ask my friends how we are together but its not hard evidence.
