ScreamingTrees Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Say this life is all we have and will ever have for all eternity.. Wouldn't the conscientious decision to spend the rest of your finite life with a single person faithfully mean something? I'd say so.. Even if love is all chemicals, a bunch of chemical reactions.. Which I believe it is, to a great extent. But there is something more going on upstairs.. Love exists if you believe.. If you THINK that it does, then it does. If you think it doesn't, it just doesn't. 1
Titania22 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Well if we are separating lust out and just talking about love, then I can answer that yes it does exist. I may never have found it with a man, but I have found it with my children. (And it is completely 2 way.) The bond I have with them is incredibly strong and will last the rest of our lives. People have said that they have never seen teenagers have the sort of open honest relationship with their parents as mine do with me. And my daughter openly admits I am her best friend. Because of my relationship with them I absolutely know that love exists, and that it is entirely possible that one day I might find someone romantically to share a great love with. Understandably my relationship with my kids has had the benefit of all the years they have been reliant on me, and the 3 of us growing and learning together. So I would expect to meet a stronger and be able to develop such a strong bond and love connection from a few dates. But it does show me that given time, it is completely possible to truly love and care for someone (and have them love and care for me too).

KungFuJoe Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 KungFuJoe: Your marriage sounds so amazing! It's so refreshing to see someone who still retains their sense of self despite being in a relationship, and someone who enjoys all the stuff they enjoyed beforehand still, with their partner and even the stuff you might differ on. That's beautiful; kudos to you for finding such a wonderful, cohesive partner. I appreciate the kind words. I always like to think that if I could make it, anyone can. If anyone knew where I came from and what I went through...to be where I am today...I thank whoever is upstairs each and every day. But I know it wasn't just handed to me. Yeah, I got lucky, but I "made" my luck. I've always had a positive attitude, a great sense of self, and always had nothing but the utmost respect for women...and appreciation. Not that I put them on a pedestal, but I admired their strength and perseverance. And I think that's vital to keeping the love alive. That you always continue to admire your partner and that he/she continues to INSPIRE you.
KungFuJoe Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I personally hope to be in a relationship/marriage at least half as good Let me tell you...with your attitude and the way you think...you are guaranteed happiness. I totally believe in kharma...that good things happen to good people. And you are "good" people. 1
Vinegar Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I think it does exist on a dating site but it is really hard to find. I am having the same problem. I have been at it for 3 years and I am still looking. Most of the guys are casual but not all of them. Just keep trying.
