After a few months of knowing somebody you're absolutely convinced and know deep down in your heart that you will never meet a better person as long as you live. You know they're the most amazing person you have ever or will ever meet without a doubt in your mind. When you're with them, they make you feel like nothing else matters and anything is possible and the world finally makes sense. When you know you would do absolutely anything for them. It's true love!

I disagree. A lot can change after the first few months. You are still getting to know the person at that point. Way too early to declare true love.

True love is when you've seen each other's in all shapes and forms - crying, losing temper, being a bit disgusting, being sick, going through routine, going under immense stress, arguing about the dishes etc and still staying together in a loving and respectful relationship. That is true love. Not what you're feeling at the initial period of idolizing and being high on happy hormones. Doesn't mean much.

Nope!

 

Putting people on pedestals is a fools errand, that does not generate a healthy or successful relationship.

True Love is a hopeless romantic's god.

I agree with this. But I would say that True Love doesn't always mean you stay together. I think you can truly love someone but recognise you can't stay together. In my experience, true love doesn't disappear. If it does, it wasn't true. It isn't as strong, but it takes a bit of your heart with it. I hope you can have more than one true love! And hopefully my next one works out for me :-)

Can't stand it when people try being clever and start a thread with a head line guessing game, like, when ?????????????????

Or start a post with so, or ok .

And that added to the way your talking in your post makes me think you must be about 15 and first time obviously too yeah ?

Cool your little jets and see how it all pans out.

And please write the full thing in the headline next time so we don't waste our time.

It's an open-ended sentence so that people can add their own definition, because love means different things to different people.

 

I read it as an open invitation for posters to express how they feel about it, not as a clever device to keep us guessing.

 

Besides, isn't it sweet to see someone gushing about their feelings for their partner? :)

 

Enjoy it while it lasts, Op! :)

When you fight , and are able to make up and get back together and fall in love all over again !

 

Disagreements and fights are important. If you get past them and still feel the ' can't live without you ' !

Add to OP's last sentence "do anything for each other," not just one way. And I agree with Lorenza especially. It takes two or three years to see what someone is like during bad times. A person can turn into a raging bull when their car breaks down two years after you've been dating , and that can be a predictor of what they will be like when the toddler spills her milk.

 

So enjoy the love, but just know that underneath, there is a human and no one is perfect.

...you can look back after many years or when you two are old and wrinkled, still together/married, and continue to have a great time together.

Now, give that about 5 years, about 2 serious crisis like the loss of a parent/sibling/child or the loss of a job, health scares and they're still with you bringing not only these feelings, but a deeper, richer resonance that comes with going through tough times together and making it through in reasonably good shape and you will truly have that true love.

 

Everything new is new. What you want is something that has been tested by time and proven.

Well, I know for a fact that I would stay with her no matter what happens or what she does. Nothing in this world will ever change my feelings for her! I know this is unconditional love! :D

I think one poster once pointed out that true love is when you are willing to give the other person your kidney when s/he needs a transplant.

Now we know you are infatuated lol.

 

There is no such a thing as unconditional love in romance. If you betray me or hurt me, I will stop loving you. If you become lazy, lack respect toward me and my love-ones, if you engage in criminal activities, I will stop loving you.

 

There are 100 conditions to get my love, that's why it's worth something.

That's interesting point of view, when I love someone I love them regardless of their actions towards me. I may be naive but my love doesn't reflect their love, I love them for who they are ... no proofs of their love towards me are necessary and/or expected to love them (to stay with them - maybe)

You will continue loving and giving your love to an abusive man?

No, unconditional love is what a parent has with their child.

 

There are conditions to love--if she was sleeping with other men, are you saying that's OK? For a lot of people, their love comes with the condition that the one they love isn't spreading it around like Miracle Whip.

Yes, I just will not stay with him. Loving and giving love to me is very different.

Love is love. Parent-child, man-woman, friend-friend... I do not make a difference. The only difference is I won't stay with the man if he abuses me, cheats etc but I'll still love him. It sucks.

I would never harm a hair on her body and anyone who did i would murder them and bury them in the forest!

I know she would never do any of those things! ;)

OP: If you were referring to the young girl you were obsessive about, then no, that's not true love. I thought you already know the feelings are completely one-sided.

How do you know anything about her you have only known her for a few months. You have barely scratched the surface of who she is. I have been dating my boyfriend for 20 months and I am still discovering things about him. I was 4 years with a man, living under the same roof, when I discovered his mother was not dead, he had 3 kids not 2, and he had been married 3 times not one! Knowing someone takes time!
