Do you believe in true love?

[Egekrusher]

My faith in true love is faltering. The more time goes on, the more I realize that the chances of my ever finding my one true love are slim to none. I know exactly what I want. I can picture her in my dreams. So far I have found nobody like her, even remotely so.

She would be kind, and understanding. Sympathy would be one of her best traits. She is into horror and sci-fi, and is forward thinking. She often thinks of the future and what might be. She is a dreamer, both metaphorically and literally. Stuck somewhere between the clouds and the ground. Very liberal, and very open minded. Very intelligent- someone that I could discuss metaphysics and computer theory with and not feel like I was talking down to them. Calm, collected and self assured.

She would be beautiful, especially in the face. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so let me describe her:

She is brunette, her hair halfway down her back. She is very fair skinned. She has a clear complexion, and doesn't feel the need for a lot of makeup because she is confident enough in herself to not care what other people think. She has vibrant eyes, bright blue. She is fairly slim, though she is not modelesque at all, meaning she doesn't look anorexic. Decent sized bust, D cup at most, but I would be happy with a B cup. That doesn't really matter to me. Long, slender, cat-like hands that you just want to hold onto forever and never let go of. That's it for the physical aspects.

Maybe I'm just not being realistic. Maybe I'm asking for too much. But I don't think so. I believe everyone has their own true love. It's finding them that's the hard part.

Please, share your thoughts.

Also, for those of you who HAVE found your true love, how long did it take you? Were you looking when you found them, or did it just kind of "happen"?

I need to know as much as possible. As I stated previously, I may be too stringent in my requirements, but dammit, I KNOW what I want.

[fluffho]

yup

my true love is simple.... im gona marry someone just like me! cept in male form, and white and taller. not much taller though

personality wise tohugh he should be a lot like me....

as for having already found him.. cant say just yet, but hoping for the best ;)

oh. and be picky as fuck ok? dont settle. not saying like 'OMG she likes a different color than me' but u know.

also, i like running into people than purposefully seeking them. its more fun that way

I believe in true love.

I think a true love isn't what you really want, it's what you need. So it's like, a yearning over posession, and what you kind of described was posession, I hope that made sense. I believe that you will only know that you have found your true love when that person either gives you a different perspective on life and sort of gives you a type of enlightenment that no one else can give you. I also believe it's about a building up a bond that can't be broken.

Now love at first site, that's a different story, of which I don't believe in.

I understand why you might say that, so let me clarify myself a little bit.

I don't want someone who is submissive. I want someone who, along with the attributes listed above, is independant and self sufficient. I want an individual. Someone who I can respect, completely and thoroughly. Also, they must respect me. I'm looking for something mutual here, which is why this may be completely unrealistic. To find someone like that, who also thinks of me the same way, is going to take a LONG, LONG time.

Well, I never had the perfect mate in mind when I started dating women. I tended to meet them through friends or social gatherings, or class (when I was a student, not a teacher), or work. And it would always turn out that some girl would listen to me talk, and decide that they wanted to get to know me better. Never have I had to approach a girl first. I guess I was just lucky that way. Every girl I dated had flaws, just like every girl I dated saw the flaws in me. But, you have to look past the flaws if you expect to find happiness. Otherwise, you just sit around waiting for perfection to come along (which it never will.) I never believed that there was one girl that was "right" for me. I think there were many. And I just happened to get married to one of them. :D There are things about my wife that I used to wish she would change ... but I discovered that I am happy that she is different than I am in a lot of ways. It keeps me feeling like an individual. We agree on all the BIG compatibility issues (religion, how we raise our kid, politics) and differ on small things like entertainment, hobbies, decor, and food. It is enough to make us great friends and yet retain our individuality -- you know?

As far as looks go, I like all types. Blondes, brunettes, redheads; big, small; fair skinned, dark skinned; green eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes; whatever. As long as they had good teeth and a pretty smile. :)

I think you need to be more open to women if you're truly going to be happy. Give a few of them a chance. Get to know them. You may find that the "perfect woman" for you was someone you never expected.

As far as being "more open" goes, that's not even possible. I'm 20 years old, and I've had as many girlfriends. I am burnt out right now though.

I definetly believe in true love...just might never find it. Like Fluff said though i am hoping for the best and just trying to get my prioritys straight. Like finishing high school, getting a job, deciding on going to college. Hopefully along the way i will meet someone, but who knows maybe i already know that special someone.....

I believe in true love. I've pictured my wedding a hundred times. This sounds insane coming from a teenager, but I know what I want. Someone open minded, intelligent, funny, confident, dark haired with a nice smile.

I've always thought that there is one person that is absolutely right for you. When you find them, you know. Thats what I think love at first sight is. There are hundreds of other people that are close to perfect, and you can be completely happy with them, but they arent exactly who you are meant to be with.
