Do you believe in love?

[HungryForCereal]

i do believe in love. in fact, i have a boyfriend and we love each other so much. though sometimes we would have our mini quarrels and some big ones we would still make up and treat it like nothing has ever happened. i can see a bright future with my boyfriend.

 

[Buttonsy]

Yep!

 

[Reyrey]

I had a girlfriend in kindergarten e.e also my first kiss. Lmao her name was Olivia and I won the villager in a cycling thread until someone bought her out. I still do not like that person -.-

 

[~TOAST~]

Yes I think love is real. People who say they don't think it is just don't understand it or are in denial.

Absolutely, but I also believe it takes more than just love to make something work. You need mutual trust, commitment (to whatever degree you mutually decide upon), and respect. I'm not sure if I believe in soulmates because not everybody WANTS to fall in love (aromantic people, or people who just prefer to be on their own for whatever reason). I'm also on the fence about love at first sight. I mean, most people have gotten feelings at first sight, but like... you know, my grandpa says that the day he met my grandma, he went home and told his brother, "That's the woman I'm going to marry," and they had a loving, trusting, committed, respecting relationship until she passed. Part of me wonders if you can really know the minute you meet somebody. But oh well, I'm open to changing my mind/deciding on these things when I meet the person I choose to spend the rest of my life with.

Absolutely. I'm single currently but I've felt it before and I know it's there.

 

[DoctorGallifrey]

I do, or I wouldn't be in a currently year long relationship right now otherwise lol

[RainbowPanda]

I don't need no man
Or at least that's what I say to cheer myself up when I see happy couples *v*

 

[Psydye]

I mean I love my cats so I guess..? I'm not sure I believe in romantic love though.

 

[skarmoury]

Definitely! I don't have a "significant other" at the moment though but love can take all forms, not just romantic. <3 (And I swear eventually I'm going to find that SO!! But maybe not now.)

 

[Samansu]

Yes, and I also believe in commitment along with love which most people don't these days~

I still do! <3 Well I believe in love for sure, but I don't believe there is ONE person out there for everyone. I feel like there are many people you could be compatible with and that love will always require some work and compromise. It isn't all sunshine and happiness, but real love does exist. I have seen it. <3

I mean happily ever after is crazy, but of course love is real. At 25 I'm starting to see the first round of peers' marriages fall apart so not expecting to work for it is naive, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't love there at some point.

 

[Classygirl]

It exists believe it. Soul mates/Twin flames it's real, have faith there is nothing better than never settling until you find the one, many settle before they do but yes I know it is true and there is someone for everyone.

 

[Cheren]

Like the type of love people talk about always wanting and leading to a happily ever after and all that

Only if it's between a woman and a woman, just as nature intended.

 

[Kapriznyy]

The way this is phrased bothers me a bit, lol. Of course edgy 12 year olds or teenagers who've just been through breakups will be like "No... there's no such thing as love! It's all a lie!" blah blah cynical melodrama. But people love each other. It's a fact. Not something tangible or easily proved because feelings are subjective, but you can't be like "no I do not believe love exists" when people all around you - even if they're strangers - are experiencing love, even if you personally are not. That would be kind of silly tbh.

Love is as real as any other thing you feel. The whole "happily ever after" bit isn't so much love itself, just a weird unrealistic expectation because realistically speaking nobody is going to be having a romance like a Disney movie. Fictional portrayals of love are often oversimplified and to base expectations for a real relationship on a relationship that's NOT real is kind of counterintuitive. I think people set themselves up for disappointment without really knowing it.

In general people just aren't properly educated on what constitutes a healthy versus unhealthy relationship too, so when you throw that into the mix, everything gets a bit muddier.

Everyone deserves healthy love and support. It's a real thing. What's difficult for many is finding it. Still doesn't mean it's not out there.

 

[Sepia]

Well I feel like it's often misinterpreted. As I see it there's two kinds love (feeling) and love (commitment) Feeling tends to be around for the first few years but after a while it fades and gets replaced by love. (commitment)

I cannot say I've experienced anything more than admiration for people but I can say I love art. It's the most important thing to me. =)

who needs love when you've got a gun
