True Love: Does Is It Really Exist?

Some say true love comes but once in a lifetime. If I'm to believe this then someone better help me figure this out....and FAST! I've had a couple of relationships in my time but I'm still clueless as to determine if my true love train has already passed or should I consider myself stuck in the train station still waiting for true love to arrive?
How does one define true love anyway? Does true love equate to your first crush, the boy you dreamed about at night and fantasize during the day? Or does true love equate to your first boyfriend ever, the boy you had your first kiss with? Or does it equate to your first sexual encounter, the guy you gave up your virginity to, the one you thought you were going to marry? Or does true love equate to (God forbid) the guy you married, the one you call "the father of your "? If all or any of these apply then does that mean I have to wait until my next life to meet my true love? Because I had all these and I'm still here in the "relationship purgatory".
In what form does true love come in anyway? How do you know who your real prince charming is from all the frogs you've met? Does it come in the form of a kiss just like with Snow White and Sleeping Beauty? Or does it come in a form of a glance, like love at first sight, just like with Cinderella?
True Love, does it really exist? Is it for real? Or is the idea of it just plain fairy tale, a concept as elusive as snow happening here in our country?

    Personally, I am very inexperienced in the actual ways of love... By theory, i have lots to say... but nothing compares to experience, right?

    True love exists.. and it is closely entwined with the love of God. So a "love" that is sought outside the bounds of what God designed it to be would tend to not go the distance and falter.

    True love exists, but perfect people don't. 2 flawed people can share a love so noble but that doesn't mean the weaknesses are zapped away. It's just a matter of working through the kinks and committing to make things work.

    Love is not a feeling. It is a commitment that is best manifested by actions. Emotions are feelings but love goes beyond emotions, feelings and needs. It is the grace that powers all of us.

    I believe there is one person made for us. Or for others (widowed), maybe more than one. Until you find the one meant for you, you will always feel restless. Do not compromise. Take risks by bearing with the loneliness in waiting. It will pay off. Just believe, hope strongly, and pray a lot. God bless us all!

    Lady "E", May I inject some humor into your serious blog?..I'd say, TRUE LOVE, when it strikes to someone, it doesn't matter how OLD you are, or whatever profession or status you hold, 'coz you ACT like a TEENAGER, KILIG to the bones, namimilipit as in naji-JINGLE, kina-KATI without the GALIS, and the whole time, you are PRE-OCCUPIED with the thoughts of your pala-LOVE, so much so that you SPEAK, THINK, and WRITE about the person, 24/7/365 and add one day more if it is LEAP YEAR!
ms. eb...of course you can! we all need humor in our lives even in love may i suggest replanting this message to my other blog? i think the message is more apt for it

    Grow up!

    True love is just an idea. Capitalists use it to write romance novels and make movies so they can make money. Communists enhances it so they can keep human resources together to further benefit the state.

    It is an illusion hang in front of you to keep you looking at it and forget the reality around you.

    Don't be fooled by it. Be cynical and realize that happiness is what you make it, not what others say it should be.

oldka....It's hard not to be fooled. being in love is such a wonderful thing. Not ready to be cynical just yet. Despite my occasional confusion regarding this issue, I still very much believe in love. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter none the less.

    It's really hard to qualify and quantify true love...I, Myself, have only two major romance/relationships in my entire life, and so, I have nothing much to compare...But I came up with a general impression that for every intense relationship that we have, at that given time, we feel and think that it was/is TRUE LOVE, until it's over!...In my own philosophy, ALL LOVE IS TRUE, but since it is not spared from being changed,(as the only thing permanent in this world is CHANGE), it is destined to be re-categorized. It can be likened to science (except for Math which is a fixed science), whatever is true today, may not be the same tomorrow...So, don't waste your time waiting for something that is vague..On the other hand, cherish all the moments, (past and present), be thankful for them (good or bad), for, if anything, you've become a much better person because of them and the experiences you've had...I hope, I made myself clear enough..Enjoy life! At my age right now, I can safely say that I lack so many things in life, including romantic love, but, I am very happy and grateful to God for all the blessings that I have..Take care!

Lady Eros, Smilerz and Luv Affair,

I didn't intend to be willfully insensitive to her feelings. But I believe, I'll be lying to her and to myself if I don't express my belief based on experience. I know if she just looks into herself, she'll find out what really makes her happy and use it as her guide in future relationships.

Women are stronger and more enduring in facing problems like this and she'll get even stronger as she encounters disappointments in life. Just a reminder to her that love may be a bed of roses but they have thorns that can cut through her heart. Be ready for the aches.

Now more than ever, she needs friends like you, Smilerz and Luv. And if there is anything I can do aside from expressing my views, please count me in among your friends.

true love/s exist/s...

to some lucky souls, they find one true love that lasts a lifetime...but for most, love can be "a reason or a season"...love may come for a reason...that when the reason has been fulfilled, it goes...love can be for just a season, it comes and goes...but it doesn't mean they are not real...the meaning of real love changes as we grow up...

remember that first crush?...the feeling was there, it was so real...so whether it was reciprocated or not, i'd say it's still REAL love as viewed from our innocence...then, there was this first boyfriend...REAL love to us then was expressed in holding hands and the light gentle kisses...there was the passionate love, REAL love that was like a wild consuming flame, a tempest which swept our heart and mind away, leaving us senseless and vulnerable...there was the committed love...that REAL love which we vowed to share in sickness or in health, for poorer or for richer, till death...

sad to say, that at some point, we lost one or more to circumstance or death...we all felt the pain of REAL love/s...this is the road most travelled...only in bearing all the pains that there is something to be remembered...when the parting of two souls occurs, without the pain, what validates its existence?...so with all the REAL hurts and REAL pains, we have the validation of the soul that REAL love/s exist/s...

after each hurt and pain, you're more stronger and more wiser...you mellowed...and although you would see REAL love in a different angle now, rest assured that another REAL love would come unexpectedly, whether you will it or not...

i may not be able to join you in the meet-up...so here's something to ponder on (i couldn't say it any better)...

Did anybody you loved so deeply leave you?
Did that person died?
Or did you drift apart?
Do you have regrets?
Given a choice knowing it had to end,
would you still choose to love?

I've loved and I've lost..
I've loved and I've said goodbye...
I've loved and I've lived...
I've shared and I've hungered...
I've wounded and I have healed...

I will love again, and again, and again...
