Do you still believe in love?

Question

I don’t just mean love I mean that fairy tail movie type of love. I recently watched hacksaw ridge which is an incredible movie but one of the high points is Dorothy and Desmond’s relationship. Makes you stop and go man I wish I had something like that but nowadays I just don’t know I find it all just to good to be true he’ll even if you fall in love if you’re that lucky I don’t honk it’s ever be like that not that special. I used to want that I used to believe in that but my faith in that kinda stuff is hanging on by a thread honesty. How do you feel about love do you still think that fairy tail type of love it out there or even exists for real?

I was gonna say ‘no’ before I even thoroughly read it.

Thats just me, though. I think a lot of people have mastered ‘some level of love’ that they personally are content with, or always complaining about, whether there are pros to it, or not.

I HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE OMG I HAVE VERY FEW DVDS I OWN- most of it is from my family.

I OWN THAT. Though. I brought it for my birthday

SUCH A STORY AMIRITE! I watched it like 30 times taking notes lol That one and Unbroken are amazing films 🎞. Highly recommend.

The thing is, and I will add-

There is an idea of love that is taught within the Christian Faith, and so though a good handful of them are not “my cup of tea,” and I don’t always believe in the Jesus bit- I DO KNOW that many, of that faith, still do, so if you’re looking for any ounce of love that resembles that, you’d have a better odd finding it in those areas. Ofc granted, you found someone similar. Most of them in that faith believe in a term called “being equally yoked.” In reference to the bulls/ cows that would pull their loads and making sure the harness that weighed upon them, was equally balanced between the two, or the sets.

The world just doesn’t have that ideal of love or standard, so they don’t strive for it. If you mix that truth with the other truth, that many people will enter the love arena “carrying baggage,” it essentially means they are loving from a different perspective/ lens- having been hurt and viewing the world differently from before.

A lot of conditions can be added to that kind of love and lot of it can be impulsive and just going through the motions.

It’s fine sometimes, but as we all take a look at society in its vast majority, I’m sure we could see why it could pose a a few problems.

The Christian faith is the last group of people who are supposed to or at least supposedly believe in such a type of love.

Not the stupid love taught by Disney lmao

but a loyal love, like the one from hacksaw ridge, or any other religious/ Jesus movie.

It is something wholesome and pure.

If people want ‘pure,’ they have to match the environment. Finding a place and a tribe of people who believe in that. You won’t readily get that at a night club… that would be a needle in a haystack.

Best to you! I don't know what you or anyone will decide from here on out.

Either is doable.

This is why I hate romantic movies. Lol. They put unrealistic expectations in our head of what love should look like. And I’m half those movies, if a guy did what the guy on the movie did, girls would be freaked out and maybe call the cops. Lol. But seriously. Love has a different definition to each person. Everyone loves in different ways. And you can’t compare relationships. We’re all unique and express our emotions in our way. That being said, you should always be open and honest with your partner. Tell them how you feel, tell them what makes you happy, tell them what makes you feel special. If they love you they can work on it or meet you half way at least. Just try to set your expectations too high. It’ll just put a lot off stress on the relationship and things might not work out.

Podcast. Well, everyone is under this notion (everyone that watches 90 day fiancé, including me lol) that True Love is out there and when they find it one day, they won't fuck it up & the other person should not either. Very unreasonable expectations. You are Correct. It doesn't happen like you think so you end up disappointed. The key is to be aware it will NOT be perfect because most people can't handle perfection, Any Way! lol

As for me I believe in a lot of things. I believe in love & luck & so much more. Love is mysterious thing & believe me I love mysterious things. As for finding love sometimes you think you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning on a submarine but then again lightning can strike.

Guy13 · Answer

I believe we can love.  I believer that we do not know how to love.  I believe no one person can love another into Better or a Sensed of loved wholly

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Of course, I do.

I was betrayed by my ex-fiance.

But I still do believe in love because I loved him with everything I had.

Not believing in love means not believing in my love, yet that was the most beautiful and strongest feeling I’ve ever experienced in life.

Even if I never fall in love again, I’ll be happy to say that I loved and that I loved truly, and that my love was as beautiful as love can get.

And that books and movies are made about the way I loved and I feel proud of that.

TenderFantasy · Answer

Parental love yes, but other than that? Maybe not. I am old enough to have experienced a lot of things and unfortunately (unless it's just real bad luck on my part), LOVE doesn't exist! True love that is (aside from family). .. Some people don't even love themselves so why should true love exist with others? ? !

Those who are still together, you don't know if it's because of kids, or a pregnancy or because they're young and stupid, desparate for a green card, [insert stupid, flimsy reason here ______] etc.!

Calculated_Guess · Answer

I believe in love and I can love women easily, but the fairytale happily ever after stuff is dangerous. In reality people aren't so perfect, and they can change throughout the course of a relationship.

I think love is something to enjoy in the moment, but don't always expect it to last.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Yeah. I've believed & valued love since I was little. It's a very important thing to our lives and it's good to know the different types of love. I always think about how it impacts our lives, other than just being a very happy feeling & emotion itself.

Msputiton · Answer

Because you look at it wrong.

You act like every relationship or asking someone out is supposed to be successful.

You only get it right once. The rest are trial and errors until you do find the person that is your "fairy tale"

The rest are just practice and destined to fail and learning experiences.

It could be 1 relationship or 5, 10, 20. But they will all fail until you find the right one.

Zbrody1997 · Answer

I feel movies give us a false sense of what love is, we want it to be like the movies but when you try the shit they do you come off as a major creep. From what I do know though I’d say love is loosing its meaning as time goes on we are hurting each other causing women to hate men and men to hate women and the hate spreading from partner to partner till everyone is damaged goods or using you for what you can give.

OddBeMe · Answer

I think this could be an issue. We see movie relationships and think they’re the norm. But we don’t see the couples hard times or stupid fights. Or if he doesn’t take the trash out right when she asks because I’m on the last mission of CoD Carol!!

Anyway…could be you’re looking past some good prospects because you’re waiting for a movie star.

suzzieQ · Answer

There is a reason it is called a fairy tale. Fairy tale love isn't even love at all really, its just infatuation bordering on obsession.

Love, real love, is a choice. You chose who you love just as people chose to love you.
