I believe that there is such a thing as true love. You have to be patient, you will know when the true love is there. You can't rush love, you have to be patient. Many relationships don't work because of trust, couples have to be honest. What people don't realize is most of the time, when people aren't honest with one another, this brings on more problems, and even when you work the problems out, if you want the relationship to work, work on trust.

alice,

i really don't know. i mean, i had this picture of a love so fulfilling that there is one person out there in the world for you. and when you get married, it's pure love for life... but i don't think that's true anymore... being content with each other at old age is about as good as it gets.

Alice,

Well, in my opinion, there is true love. Recently two of my friends started dating and they just keep finding more and more things that they love about each other.

They're happy just being together. I have never seen them happier and love might not last forever for some people, but that doesn't mean that those two people weren't in love in the beginning. Just because love doesn't last forever it's still great in the beginning. Why waste time not being happy?

Good luck finding your love.

Dear Alice,

Saying True Love is somewhat redundant because all love should be true. There are different kinds of love, and the one for another person in a romantic, fairytale kind of way does exist. However, it is easy for couples and relationships to fall apart. So, it does exist, but very rarely does it last. The intensity decreases and a lot of time simply vanishes. People change, move on, etc. Couples who have been married for 50 years don't necessarily feel as in love with the person as they did when they first met. But they care for each other and manage to stay together. I think that in that sense, it is true love because it lasts forever in one shape or form. It's getting harder and harder to fall in love, stay in love, or simply to stay with one partner for the rest of your life.
