LMAO @ u.

Have you never seen an old couple holding hands? Or see the amazing work people will do to help strangers? Yea, there's a lot of hate and heart break in this world, but there's a lot of love too.
And you'll find it one day, unless you sit around believing it CAN'T happen. Then you're going to give yourself a hard time.

Eh. I believe you and I share the same opinion on this subject. This makes me happy. I was seriously beginning to think that I was the only one who felt this way. I think a lot of people just manage to confuse their need for attachment and their fairy tales dream for love. Oh well.

Though, I do love myself... haha.

I believe in love. I see it in many couple's relationships.. I see it with parents and their children.

It is there and it is worth looking for...

You're right about being 16 and thinking that relationship will last forever because the minute you go off to college, it's Girls Gone Wild. Same rule applies to guys. 

love is the most real of emotions. everything entwines itself within the nature of love- obviously two people loved each other enough to have you and me as well, and you love them both as i do my parents.

if you believe in God, there's that. the most perfectly loving being in existence of whom unconditionally loves every human soul no matter the crimes it has committed.

two great ancient city-states went to war over love, and one of those cities was burned to the ground and its people spread amongst the various islands and lands of the mediterranean- one of those groups became the roman empire.

does that make any sense to you? one of the greatest empires of all time was forged by the touch of love, no matter the hardship and tribulations they went through to get there.

everyone will have the chance to experience love because as soon as you think it's a bunch of hooplah and you stop looking for the special person, they'll come right to you and you'll never know what life was like without them. i've met that person; i met her in high school, and here we are sophomores in college and still going at it strong. in fact, i'm going to ask her to marry me next year.

you can't tell me that no one founds love, because i found it. so did your parents, so did their parents, and so did the people of ancient times. love is a beautiful thing. it brings two people together, it destroys cities, it creates empires. you will know someday the power of love, because we all feel it.

LOL. Youre "funny"

@Azruel@xanga - This is pretty much exactly what I say in these situations.

You sound bitter, hurt, and pessimistic. You're being melodramatic at best. And yes, I believe in love. Just because someone doesn't reciprocate the emotions you have for them doesn't mean you can't be in love. You have no right to tell other people that their abstract emotions aren't real.....there's a reason emotions are abstract, you can't prove them, and as such you have every right to be a bitter bitch about love but in no way shape or form can you say it doesn't exist. as you are not every single person in the world I guarantee you do not know what every single person in the world feels.

and how old are you?

I believe in love. But I'm also skeptical that hs kids could find love and fall in love for the rest of their lives. But there have been cases like that.

You look at love with such negativity.  Perhaps you did love someone, but that person broke your trust and stomp on your heart.  Many people go through depression and heartache, but there are plenty of great people out there.  Sure, there is no such thing as a "romantic comedy or fairy tale" in real life because your love just "doesn't magically appear."  However, love is real.  Love is a strong emotional attraction you have for another person.  It's true that "you love yourself" because you must accept and love everything about yourself before another person can love you.  Also, I don't think anyone is going to absolutely accept everything about another person, but love requires compromises.  Putting forth the effort to try and change (if it's a bad habit or hurtful toward your partner) or the effort to bond with each other is what counts in a relationship.  If there are problems within your relationship, then talk to your partner and solve it together.  Being together with or living with another person requires a great deal of acceptance, compromises and understanding.  No one, not even your partner, can be there for you every second of every day.  You must learn to be mature and be able to deal with situations yourself.  A "true love" isn't a pet you can call on and have there with you whenever you want.  In a relationship, you must know how to communicate, how to bond, how to compromise, how to understand and accept, how to respect each other, how to cherish, how to love, how to laugh and joke, how to deal with each other, and etc.  Love is not as simple as what those romance movies portray.  You should not reject the existence of love because of one "messed up relationship."  If you let a person you once loved, but now you hate ruin your belief in love, then I will LOL @ you.  To let a heartache/ a jerk destroy your future (filled with love) is the most pitiful thing of all.  Maybe this post was a spur-of-the-moment-to-vent-out-anger/hate post and eventually, you'll come to realize that love does exist.  I can only wish that you'd change your view of love and life because being negative will get you no where.  I hope there is a guy out there that will shine light on your view of love
