True love doesn't really exist

I would say true love doesn't exist between humans because humans are imperfect beings.

 

Of course true love exist, I see it every day. People who say that it doesn't exist have never experienced it.

 

Great post and all but I was talking more about romantic love.

 

If we're going by the popular belief of that which is measurable is real then , yes, love does not exist.

*opens can of worms*

 

I'm not talking about love, I'm talking about true love. For example when you "loved" that girl, it's over now. Not true love.

I put quotations around "loved" bc 90% of people don't know what love is. Not saying this is you, but I can't conclude that you were in love bc I don't know you. I was in " love" w a chick too at the time (not really, but felt like it). It's over, i've meet other chicks since then. TRUE love doesn't exist, just in movies.

I'm really not trying to be a dick but try reading my post instead of the title and then respond. Literally in the first paragraph of my original post smh..

 

I think people might be confused about your phrasing and choice of words. I don't know if I can agree that "true love" doesn't exist, but I definitely agree that soul mates don't exist, which sounds to me like what you're talking about. But to me, soul mates and true love are not the same thing. So maybe that's why you're not getting the responses you're looking for. You need to provide a solid definition of what the words "true love" mean to you in this context, because it seems like they don't mean the same thing to you as they do to others.

 

I think people are trying to read your posts but you're confusing everyone with your choice of words. You seem to be stuck on calling "romantic love" true love. You also havent defined what constitutes true love. What you have demonstrated to everyone is that you're very confused as well, so we're all in good company.

 

Yeah. I stated it in the original post

 

What's ur definition of true love then

 

Love in a relationship is actually chemicals and not just emotions. If my fiancé died I would certainly miss our routine we built up together throughout the years, but it would be him that I truly missed.

I don't know if there's "love at first sight" but I've never been interested in anybody growing up but one guy. And I could never comprehend cheating or loving another person in that way, maybe if you were polygamous or something.

If he were to pass away I would not find somebody else as I wouldn't want to, I'd rather live with the sweet memories we had than start a new life with somebody else. That's me personally and I feel that's true love for me.

 

Okay, I see that now. But your definition of true love is not at all what most people would define it as, so that's why everyone is confused and you're not getting the answers you're looking for. What you're describing, "where there is one single right guy or girl for you," is the concept of "soul mates." You would have much more accurate responses here if you said "soul mates don't exist."

I don't really know what my definition of "true love" is, but it's definitely not synonymous with soul mates. The phrase "true love" isn't something that has an objective definition, so we all have different opinions. I'm not saying your definition of it is wrong, I'm just saying that I've never heard anyone use that definition of the phrase, and there is another phrase, soul mates, that has that same definition. So people are clearly confused about what you're trying to ask.

 

You can have "true love" with a person and still not believe they are the one and only person you could have possibly fallen in love with in the world.

So, saying this:

... is confusing, because those things are not mutually exclusive OR mutually inclusive. They're completely separate ideas. At least in my opinion.

 

If I were to take this quote and phrase it as a question... something like "Do you believe that true love, where there's a single right guy or girl out there for you, exists?" I would say no. But I wouldnt say that true love, itself, doesn't exist, which I think is what many people are thinking you're trying to say, and perhaps that isn't what you're trying to say.

 

Well it's subjective, so I'm seperating "love" from "true love". People are saying love exists, which I agree.

Not to be creepy but ive seen you post things and you talk about your husband frequently. IDK, but I'm gonna make a wild assumption and say that you "love" this man.

Does that mean that you can't be married/ "love" anybody else if he didn't exist or dies or dumps you? For a single person to not exist or be born is so unarguably easy. I'm not trying to use your life as an example bc I don't know you.

So yeah, sure soulmates. It doesn't matter. I can go to the gym right now and meet my soulmate. Or I can grab and coffee rn and meet a different person at Starbucks that becomes my soulmate.

Forget about the terminology for a min. People get married in "love" and frequently get divorced. Love is an emotion, it's something that you feel. People, along w their emotions, change. Literally all of the time, on a regular basis.

In my experience (of living a life) it's best to be skeptical about everything, including myself. I have emotions, as does every human being ever, and they've fucked me over. Time and time again. 2 things in life that make me uncomfortable, when somebody to close and they think they untouchable.

You have to grow to "love" people. You start dating them bc you have affection for them and then you experience alleged "love".

I "love" certain things, not just people alone. That's another reason of how it's just an emotion. Fuck it to be honest, if "love" comes it comes. I'm not searching for it.

 

I agree with all of this, a dive stated that previously already. I was using your terminology because a lot of people here seem to be confused, and it seemed like you were frustrated to not be getting the answers you wanted. I was simply explaining the miscommunication, as an outside party.

I vehemently disagree with love being merely an emotion, but I've already addressed that previously as well.

Well the issue here is that we use the single word "love" for everything, rather than recognizing the different types of love. @Surfing Poet mentioned this earlier.
