True Love? Are you talking about the chick who moved away from you and didn't tell you where she was going? true Love? More like a fucked up relationship you should move on from.

I do a lot for my wife.
LOL at this thread.
Good bro..
Yeah, true love, yeah I dunno.
First I think peeps have to be true, I mean like if U are fucked up, then U are going to attract fucked up.
Also, like if U are solid and present, U attract the same. Degrees really...
I don' t know U, but it will be okay... time... it passes.. quicker now than ever.

Just stay positive and enjoy being single while you are. I'm glad I did, I can see myself with my new GF for a long long time.

true love doesn't exist
I'd probably move to the other side of the world and live where it is HOT and they don't like A/C, where they smoke everywhere, overcharge you for everything and you get 3rd class service, etc...
...but they have good pork chops, lots of swimming options, and cheap and tasty wine.

"True Love and Flying Purple People Eaters: There Just Ain't No Such Animal"
^^awesome book about dating (internet) and relationships.
You don't get married for love. That is a myth. You get married for sex. Love is what you find along the way.
As for what I've done for love? Which love? Eros, Philos or Agape?
As for what I've done for my husband? I give him 100% freedom to come and go, leave or stay, be who he wants to be and hopefully have magnified his better qualities.

Agapi
And that is about the relationship that my wife and I have. Freedom, but the freedom and the personal need to come together.

Agapi

Correct me if I am wrong (you know greek better than I do LOL) but isn't Agapi the love of all mankind? Ala Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr , Mother Theresa.... etc?
This is also the highest form of love and has nothing to do with the "love" between a man and a woman... unless my religion teacher from way back was drunk that day (which was a common occurance LOL).

Bfold - given the sources of our definitions we are BOTH correct!
I was taught of the three different words for love in Catholic religion class whereas you learned this word from a Greek woman (or should I say Cyprian?
).
"Agapē (IPA: /ˈægəpiː/[1]) (Mod.Gk. αγάπη [aˈɣa.pi]) (Ke. αγάπη IPA: [aˈga.pɛ]), is one of several Greek words translated into English as love. The word has been used in different ways by a variety of contemporary and ancient sources, including Biblical authors. Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love. Greek philosophers at the time of Plato and other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to philia—an affection that could denote either brotherhood or generally non-sexual affection, and eros, an affection of a sexual nature. The term 'agape' is rarely used in ancient manuscripts, but was used by the early Christians to refer to the self-sacrificing love of God for humanity, which they were committed to reciprocating and practicing towards God and among one another (also see kenosis)."

you haven't read his other thread then?
Anasthesia.... hmmmm....
LOL
I was thinking Anastacia... like the Disney anime I watched with nephew and my niece...
I"m sure it exists and there are a few lucky souls who get to experience it.
However, I think though, they are good people, and without it would be solid in life.
What I mean is, its not like the relationship defines them, but more of they are just awesome people.
You have to bet TRUE to be part of that dynamic. Quite honestly I have only met a like 3 people in my entire life who I think deserve or merit such a thing.
I'm not one of them. It requires such a depth, that I to bring it up here would be silly.
Dude, be a better person, then better people will surround U.
U are young... good luck.

Ariel - you are solid in your last post.
I DO BELIEVE there is such a thing as love but until we get right with ourselves and figure out what is off within us that allowed us to accept poor treatment from WHOMEVER it was that claimed to love us, well I don't see how our lives will change much.
This doesn't mean that we DESERVE to be treated poorly at all, quite the contrary. When we figure out:
- what we need and what we like, we will be able to better attracted and keep it. I don't believe this is possible without some degree of living and experience. Talk about your evolutionary oxymoron!
- what is off within us that allowed us to accept poor treatment from ANYONE, but especially those that were SUPPOSED to love us we will then be able to change who it is that we attract and ALLOW to stay close to us.
- that life is about continuous change I do believe that we will either become LESS AFRAID or MORE AFRAID to *live*. I haven't figured out what circumstances or character traits separates one from another.

And Smurfy - perception IS reality; which means that it is all up to you. 
(that's a good thing, I think)

Agapi, in Greek, is the root for the word Love. What you use before and after the Word determines exactly what it means (I love you, my love, love them, they love, etc...)

true love is hard to find and can be a motherfucker

True love IS very hard to find. But I disagree, it is any BUT a motherfucker. LIFE is the motherfucker. Love (which is a positive force) will help and give strength. If it's the opposite, it is anything BUT love.
Except for my child, I walked away from everything from my previous life. I got the house because my ex pussied out (he sold his interest in the house to me for $1.00).
All I have from my previous life, basically my life from age 18 to 33, is about 20 photographs that he missed and a house I never wanted. My ex took everything, photos, electronics, money, furniture, even to the point of going through my jewelry box when I was at work and taking pieces he had given me (and that I had bought for myself, for that matter).

And people, true love DOES exist, the fact is, not many people really want that in their lives. It's very ... open hearted. True love, by its very nature, means willingly sacrificing your own self interest. It is a relationship based upon and built out of absolute, pure trust, honesty and totally giving with an utterly open heart. In return you receive the same thing from your significant other. You can give away your heart, because your receive theirs in return. A lot of people aren't willing to trust anyone that much.

MM - again, DEAD ON...
I walked away from my first marriage, one that spanned my entire adult life (barely 21 till 34) with 5 thousand dollars, no house, no kids, no assets - nuthing. Everything I owned was in 4 suitcases. The only "thing" I had was public scorn and ridicule because everyone swore up and down that only dirty whores "abandon" their kids and "surely I must have done something pretty bad", "that all I cared about was ME."
I gave up everything because I honestly thought it was THE ONLY WAY to give my children peace.
Whether I had yielded custody or not he would have taken it regardless, time proved that out. And 8 years later I am STILL FIGHTING to save my children...
Good news is that I found a man who loves me back, the way that I love him. And he fights alongside me, every day for children that he didn't make and that he's barely even met. My husband willingly took on MY TROUBLES regardless of how hard it is, he stays... even though he knows if he walked today I would never fault him.
^^^ If that isn't love, I don't know what is.

I agree with MM, either I think wiser, usually older seasoned people attract it or earn it.. or the truly young, when they are innocent and less corrupt. More idealistic. I wanna say that so far in my own development, my highest love interest just happened to coincide with a period in my life when I was the most 'aware', less attached to shit that doesn't matter, like I am today. Now, I'm allright, however, relationship wise, I just notice, I'm not near intimate as I could be, nor would I like to be. I'm not willing to put in the sacrifices or grow up... I guess. Anyway, I the quality of my relationship is pretty good, but its not near as 'real' as MuscleMom's or BikiniMom's and I know this. I'm okay with that at only 32. My point is, the better the person, the more open, and true to what matters... as in values.. the better the relationship.
Me, I'm way, way too selfish... receive such a dynamic.
Right now, most peeps get into a relationship to escape from themselves, to entertain... thats why they fail.
I've had good relationships overall, however, I now realize that except for 1, they all fail after like 6 months due to my own selfishness, as well as hers.
Good luck.

I don't try and find anything. Exception is basic needs. If it is real, it will be. That's my way of looking at it. I am not gonna search out "true love". No way. That has a way of finding its way throughout us all. Being capable to accept "true love" is a different story all together. I think you all know what I mean being you test your smarts and such and I can tell there are intelligent people here but some are superficial and expect someone to be perfect in all forms. That my friends will never happen. I don't care what people say, if you don't accept the tiny pet peeves and are willing to accept the fact that nobody in this world is perfect, "true love" will find its way to you. Its a give and take. Tak it or leave it. Gotta run, KTHXBYE
Drop my guard, be completely honest and open myself up, fully trusting making myself completely vulnerable to this true love.
but I haven't found that yet.

Completely agree. Someone's true love and the environment that it creates could be another person's definition of enslavement.
You are robbed of logic and reason because of these things called emotions. All they do is cloud the mind and could potentially prevent your own personal development and success. After all, the most important person in your life should be yourself.
lol for once we see eye to eye.
i pretty much agree with this although i dont think we are 100% unable to think rationally under the circumstances
but oh god does it feel good to be in love! damn!

I'm afraid that you are confusing initial infatuation with true long term love.
See my second post. Read it bearing in mind that I said that with the feelings I have now, for a person I have been with for 14 years.
Yes, I was walking on clouds and basically utttely useless in the beginning, but the utter trust, the complete open heartedness, that exists in this relationship that I have with him, now (and we're no kids, I'm going on 44 and he just turned 55).
We agree that the loss of one would leave our lives desolate. We are our own best friends, lovers and buddies.
But as I said, it's a rare relationship. Most people won't or can't be that open or trusting. We built our relationship on a very strong foundation from day one. We were each willing to utterly trust to gain absolute acceptance.
