Define true love, and how and when do you know its love?

Something in my life that I know I'll never have  LOL

Aaron that's the first thought that popped into my mind too !!

it's been a fact of my life ever since I can remember.  I have the love of my parents and my friends but that one elusive one is always elusive.  I'm 37 years old and have never dated anyone....half my life is over and I think about dying alone.  but I'm not alone......I'm sure there will be tons of people at my funeral......but no one to leave my life insurance policy to.  My nephews and niece?  they don't deserve it LOL  I've always thought I would go before my parents did.....now I'm not so sure.

Isn't is funny that when you find someone that's attracted to you that you found attractive that once the green flag is thrown you just don't want them anymore?  what's up with that?  Nope...true love will never be mine.

You so got me on this one but can't wait to see what everyone else has to say.

I don't think that I know true love.  That knock your socks off love, that makes you hear bells.  I love my husband and it is comfortable love, it is I need a partner love, sometimes he needs me, sometimes I need him so the arrangement is comfortable.  I know it's not romantic, but it is what it is.  It is a committment and I know he is there for me and I for him.  I have had knock your boots off love, but there was no real committment.  So I'm not sure if True Love in all aspects of the words exist.  I'm envious of anyone that has it and curious if anyone knows that they are with their one True Love.

I love someone like that, a deep, knock your socks off, but he does not return this love...

I so want someone to rock my socks!

I don't know if there is such a thing as true love, because that would assume there is only one. I know when i fell in love with my husband, it was because of certain characteristics I was looking for in a man. But we struggle alot but stick it out. That is a conscious decision based on real love. no one person will ever be perfect for you in every respect. unless you date yourself, of course ;) there are things about my husband that drive me crazy and parts of our relationship i wish were better. but then i think about not being with him and realize that I'd rather be with him and struggle then be alone. he's a good man and will be a good father. sex and love are two different things and we tend to confuse them. love has to do with loving the person no matter how disgusting they are sometimes lol. and you will disgust each other if you live together!

You know I've often thought about throwing a wedding for myself and just marry myself so i can get all the cool kitchen gadgets LOL
