Is there a real love between man and woman in this world?
Really I'm very confused, for a short time I started to believe that this is real love; but then I
realized that there is not. Who believe in real love and why you believe in it?

alicesoster

I'm  young, but i don't belive in real love or perfect love.
I belive things change, everything changes, so the in love change too.
In this moment can be a real love, but  in other moment can not be.

mostafa zaghlol

Sure believe in real love but not must be perfect cos it rarely to happen !!!

I dont also know if there is real love, but I always hope it can come true with me. Maybe everything can change but at least each couple should do right every second when love and to be loved.
Hate ....lie and unfairthful....!

First of all i can tell you there is nothing called real love or unreal love,perfect love or imperfect love....there is only love...and it cannot be defined...if it is defined then it has measured  in whichever means and whatever we can measure cant be love, If there is no love then the world would have finished long back....what you have to do is,check your defination of love, what is love for you? For me we cannot fall in love but we can be in love....thats what everybody does....and moreover nobody can tell you why to believe in it.....when you are in love ...you are in love...you cannot say how when where it happened and what is this...thats all about love is ...think of yourself and you will be in love with yourself and once you start loving yourself , you will find everywhere love.....and this will be true or real love as per you...

If it is changed then it not love also so no question of believe or disbelieve....love cannot be changed...love remains the same...think of your parents they love you when you are a child and till today it wont change from there end but might be from your end that cant be said....

Don't you know what love :heart:  is, yet??
First you study it from your loving mother, next father bros and sis. Next from relatives neighbors, teachers, Lecturers colleagues!
Next from your office bosses and mates. Next from your specific partner and kids!

Further you study love from pets & nature & all the society.
What is love.... no one can teach you it but your  :heart:  can feel it from life...! :D

Think of a garden and love as the seed that we plant in the garden. You plant the seed, water and weed the garden constantly, add fertilizer and your flower blooms. So once the flower blooms does the gardener stop tending to the garden? Of course not, a good gardener works twice as hard once the flower has bloomed. He or she continues to water, weed, fertilize, cultivate the soil and get rid of insects and blights that might damage or kill the flowers. Real love is exactly the same way. If you stop taking care of it then it will soon fade and die just like a flower in an untended garden.

The problem is that we humans are prone to reach a certain result that makes us happy and we're satisfied with that and expect it is going to stay exactly that way when we stop doing what we did to achieve that result. Dead wrong!!!

Another problem is that it takes two individuals who are like minded in their dedication to keep that garden in peak condition. Two people who will each give 100%, work tirelessly to make the relationship work. That unfortunately doesn't happen most of the time, we're not usually that mature.

Any relationship is made up of three equal and inseparable parts - emotion (i.e. the love), respect and trust. Without any one of those parts a couple simply does not exist. Another fact is that you have to have a certain amount of all three for YOURSELF before you can give them to anyone else. You can't love somebody else unless you have self-love, you can't respect anyone else unless you first have self-respect and how could you possibly trust anyone else if you don't trust yourself? Your love cannot be blind, it must be realistic. Your respect must be earned as much as being freely given too. Your trust is something that must be sacred and honored by a determination not to do anything that would destroy that trust that has been placed in you.

Love is the seed, our actions are the water. Kind words, trust and respect and consideration are the fertilizer. Dedication is the work we put into weeding and caring for the garden. That beautiful rose we end up with is the result that we must work at keeping alive and not let it fade. Just think about that.

Too many people have a "conditional" love. Essentially they say, "I'll love you IF........" and then they put on a condition. That is not true love by any means. You've got to get to the point where you're essentially saying, "I love you because...." and the final part of the sentence should be about something that makes you happy with the other person.

Always remember:

Divorce is 50/50, but marriage must be 100/100 or it is doomed right from the get go.

Hello Mal,

I have felt Love and thats what i was trying to explain mervat but she told this is feelings and desires ,then I asked what is her defination of love and what are the types....because for me love is love no pure / impure ,real /unreal or natural / unnatural.And i also suggested her their is a love between us otherwise the world has been finished long back...And you are 100% right no one can teach anyone love because love is a experience of every individual....

With Love

No John,  ;) you wanna explain me further, by a song??  ;)
Some say love it is a river -That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor-That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger-An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower,-And you it's only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking-That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking-That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken,-Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying-That never learns to live.

And the night has been too lonely-And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only-For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter-Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,-In the spring, becomes a rose.

I would close my eyes and listen to you ;)

Not only that, but I am re-writing it for the good rhymes to sing too.
Here is it:

Some say love it is a river -That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor-That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger-An endless, aching need

And the soul afraid of dying-That never learns to live.

And the night has been too lonely-And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only-For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter-Far beneath the coldish snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,-In the spring, becomes a rose aglow.

Hello Mervat,  :)
No there is no love. It's only a true hormonal thing and one of the subtlest ways by which a woman's mind fights a man's secret dreams to win.
It happens just 3-10 times in a lifetime to fall in love (if more times, that's pathological), and, because of our faulty brain, we always remember our first love (the school sweetheart) nostalgically forgetting to be grateful to the love which reciprocated our deep feelings with flexibility and tolerance, not the one we had to lose while young.

With Earthians, falling in love looks like something special in the beginning just to change into habitual hate later on in time. (No, this is not cynicism; it's cold observation).

I always admired those rare couples who celebrated 50 years of marriage, but then I always reminded myself that those couples never fought everything and everybody, like I did, to win and rise above those who never fight themselves down to win and rise.

Always remember from me: you may love with the heart  :heart:  which is blind, handy, childish, hormonal and the easiest thing to do, but to win, you must love with the mind which is tricky, joyous, profitable and by willful choice.  :top:

Don't seek perfection because it will lead you inevitably to the solitude.

Keep tryin that you will meet. A real love is something that compensates every effort.

Hi there,  :)
Something nice to read:

Language... has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone.
Paul Tillich
==============

I personally use a more advanced concepts than solitude: uniqueness, originality, the first to do things, climbing to the top alone so as not share the glory of reaching it and the unobstructed view with anybody.
To love and help the world, one must not hate himself first.

Real love matures. Love which does not mature is a passing whim, a whisper gone with the wind into the winds ...  :cheers:

Thank you. But why only one  :top: when I believe I deserve more than one?  :(
If you look at this thread only, I correct rhymes of wonderful poems, I explain about 'solitude', I increase the number of posts, and I entertain Mal.

I even correct my very own statements.  Here it is:
"Real love matures. Love which does not mature is a passing whim, a whisper gone with the wind into the winds ...  it is ONE BIG LIE because, for mysterious reasons, Mother Nature sometimes makes us want to be lied to.
Love is not needed only for romantic mating, love is something we must always give just to never get back love in equal amounts.  And if we refuse to give, we are guaranteed to get nothing, not even the smallest amount back."


Primadonna, see how many things I do? I am just great.  When are all of you expats here going to worship me?  :unsure
What more do you require for me to do to prove myself an artful computer user?  :unsure
