Do you believe in love?

Question

I feel like I do for some people but not for everyone no.

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Absolutely.
Most parents love their children unconditionally.
Most children love their parents even if they have unresolved resentments.
A lot of people love pets with all their heart.
People can love lots of other things. For example, I love nature and creation, and the fact that I am alive to experience all of its wonders.
I don't believe in gods or religion, but some people believe that God is love.

And, if one believes that love exists, they can make a choice to love a partner or spouse. In order to do so, they have to take a chance and surrender to the possibility; give themselves completely. It requires some relinquishing of power and control. That does not mean relinquishing confidence, dignity or self respect. In fact, it is quite the opposite. It requires courage, confidence, humility, strength, and an ability to care as much for another person as you do for yourself.

There was one particular girlfriend who I loved with all my heart and she loved me. We lived together for over a year. It turned out that we couldn't be lifelong partners for reasons that I can't explain here. We separated but reconnected on Facebook years later and we even spoke on the phone a few times. She was living out of state. This was after I had already been married for over 15 years. About five years after we reconnected, I read that she died from a sudden medical problem at the age of 55. There is a hole in my heart that will never heal. I will always love her and will never forget her.

That doesn't diminish how much I love my wife with whom I have been happily married for almost 26 years. The two of us have a perfect love for each other. She's wonderful. In fact, she has taught me even more about unconditional love, trust and commitment over the years.

So yes, love exists if you can accept it.

Love is a very conceptual thing. So do I believe in the concept of love, YES!

Love is a very genuine and real thing, its is powerful but very elusive... and it means different things to different people.

LittleSally · Accepted Answer

I never do, and when a situation starts happening that makes me question it, it ultimately always proves me right in the end. (Speaking about romantic love here.)

But love, generally speaking, yes, it exists for sure. :)

provokeesmokee · Accepted Answer

Yeah. I have a lot of people I love, and who love me - from platonic to familial to romantic love. Not every love lasts, and that is ok. That doesn't always change the moments of love that were had.

Anonymous · Answer

Love is a deeply human experience that has been explored and celebrated throughout history in various cultures and societies. Love can be a profound and transformative emotion that brings joy, connection, and fulfillment to people's lives. It encompasses a wide range of feelings, from romantic love to love for family and friends. Ultimately, whether or not someone believes in love is a personal and subjective perspective.

i beileve in it but i have never had the proper love from a man i need they are mostly assholes to me me scrotum head fks

Lionman95 · Answer

I do but to me a deep friendship between friends is also a form of love. Love is more than feeling it´s an emotional bond. I think the biggest issue in the modern day is that since we got so many options people are confused about what to look for and they should act. That´s to me the biggest reason why people have a hard time finding a partner for life. It´s the fear of missing out that keeps many people either single or at least unable to stick with someone for a longer time.

CaptainOverthink · Answer

I believe if you forge your own opporotunities, make sure you take your chances, get a healthy, balanced mindset and don't give up then you'll have a easy time believing in love with succsess.

But there is a lot of work in this, especially the balanced mindset. So there's few magical thing happening here. Just the right conditions to spot bigfoot.

asphaltrhymes · Answer

I like love but I wouldn't love love. In other words, I'd want a healthy, but not a suffocating, love. I'm not into that Hollywood type of "love" 😞👀

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Yeah. There's different types and it makes us who we are as humans. Without love, we'd all be psychopaths.

SolitarySolace · Answer

I thought I did once. Then I was cheated on 4 times, falsely accused, and used for my money. After all that, no I do not believe in love. I believe in selfishness though

larry69 · Answer

I believe love exists. I also believe some people are never meant to find love. That's where I fall.

BoobSlayer · Answer

Melons, honkers, boobies, tits, milkers, chesticles, bazoombas, coconuts, fiery biscuits, cantaloupes, boom booms, noogies, and jugs all add a little extra sweetness and spice to life that can be just as wonderful as falling in love.

runnerboy · Answer

I do, but I have not loved a girlfriend yet (I'm 17 and have had girlfriends (and sex)) but as you know there is a different love many of us have for family members for example.

belle_kai · Answer

You can't love a thousand people. Only a handful deserve it and that includes family & platonic love.

Love is your reason for living, it makes you happy. Love makes you a better person in this world. Love is the most important thing that a person can have in his heart and that gives us the strength to walk through this life.

Yes, I lost it once, it was painful like hell. I still wants it.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

I do believe in real love because i have it, but when it comes to others, i think it's very hard to find someone who can love for real...

Anonymous · Answer

Nah , never seen it, not sure ever will. From abusive family , to treacherous relatives, to betrayal from a girl whom I took care in sickness, to fake friends that ghosted even if you have saved their lives in a bar fight, I have seen it all than anyone can ever dream of.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I feel everyone is capable of being loved at some point in life. But i dont think everyone is capable of giving love in return

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I love my dogs. So: yes. The ''love'' of romantic fiction as in movies, music, literature - nope. Which does not mean that I can't enjoy a fair, lasting and trustful relationship.

eidkejeodnx · Answer

No or maybe I couldn’t find the right person

Mallic00 · Answer

Someone once told me that love is giving someone the means to hurt you and trusting that they won't. That is the most foolish thing you could do. So no.

LiamJHayden · Answer

To me love is created and given. So, yes, I believe in it.
