Hopeless Romantics: What does true love mean to you?

[dynamicyandere]

What does true love look like based on your personal views and philosophy on love?

Where do I even start… this is going to be long. As a hopeless romantic I think true love is how the other person treats me and how I would love to treat them when we both feel the same way about each other. For example in my perspective I think when that special person loves you, you will know they will always show up for you, they will say i will see you later without you asking them to show up for you, they will take time out of their day to see you , they will show they care about you by being protective against anyone who is not good news. I think mutually with one person to another being in love both parties will know what not to do and if they don’t love you they should know not to waste your time and to let you go if their intentions aren’t pure. They won’t rush you, they will be considerate of your feelings no matter what situation. When you look at each other it’s not just a I wanna hook up with you look it’s completely different and you both have care in your eyes and know what you want. (I’m gonna stop here this is just what I think love means to me) sorry it’s long

Thanks for sharing! I agree that true love involves two people truly caring about each other and being there for each other no matter what. No need to worry about long answers, long answers are expected for a question as deep as this, haha.

You’re welcome ☺️

True love to me means you are both willing to make sacrifices and be there for each other. You accept each other's flaws and you embrace their company. You have an emotional and physical connection as well as the ability to deeply understand each other. You are both each other's worlds and life would never be the same without each other. You see yourselves together having a life in the future. - There is so much more but that'll be too long so this is where I end it.

That’s a really beautiful picture you painted of true love. Thanks for sharing!

No problem!

I am overwhelmed with thoughts and ideas, and wondering how amongst them all, I can choose the words that best exemplify this phrase, 'true love.'

Love is respect, understanding, knowing the other (in parts, not in whole), but more importantly, or significantly, it is acceptance. It is, despite having intimate knowledge of "all their little peccadilloes" as Matt Damon wrote for Robin Williams to say in "Good Will Hunting", loving them anyway. Because love is never going to be perfection. Because people are perfectly imperfect. Their fragility, and fallibility, is what endears them to us, actually. Just as time marches on, and some things are ephemeral, it's the fragility and fallibility and changeability of people that bring such meaning to our relationships with one another.

A lover, one who loves you, offers charity toward you, in your darkest moments; and in the moments when you may not rightfully deserve charity. Yet, they offer it anyway, because of what you mean to them. And we, in return, must give the other the benefit of the doubt, look aside grievances, perceived injustices, and honour the promises that were made, when times were easy and good. True love, or the most beautiful love, commits to each other to not take each other for granted, and to continue to appreciate one another, even when it is difficult to do so.

Beautifully worded.

I really enjoyed reading your answer and I believe I view true love in the same way. It’s deep, intimate, accepting, understanding, and it always endures. It persists and overcomes challenges an obstacles. It’s a powerful way for one to show their significant other just how much they mean to them—to show them just how important and special they are.

True love is something that is truly beautiful to see, experience, and feel.

Nothing most times that I am awake. But occasionally sparks flutter about and there's light possibly worth striking fire for. But typically I'd just like making one night happen with candles we lit and me in her mouth. Her in mine. It's the sculpture I've longed for that's been breaking as years pass. And for now that's all that's left. The hands to hold on to, the breast to nibble and the flower to feast. A feeling is expected of love, in rememberance of how we've endured. I'd restructure my entire life from the rubbles of our heart and of our spine.

Thanks for sharing your poetry! I’m not sure if this is what you meant but I read that as a story of passion and perseverance and building your lives around this bond you have which you hold dear. ☺️

[Loveisgirthy]

I'm glad you liked it. And that's a definite part of the whole meaning of it that I felt so 👍👍

It’s the kind of thing that makes me forget everything,

I can leave everything I have and just be with him.

It’s a bad thing though because if the relationship fails, you lose everything.

I wish I was different.

[dynamicyandere]

Thanks for sharing. ☺️ I wouldn’t say it’s a bad thing though—I see it as more of high risk + high reward. If it works out, it can be amazing. If it doesn’t work out, it will be… Well, very painful.

True love is there fake love? To me love is just lovely energy you get, a feeling its how someone makes you feel, its hoe you feel about someone. So when two people feel good about each other they are in love. It wjat girls often call feeling chemistry with the guy.
But love is not so limited yo just that.
