Yes I do, and I also believe I've already found it. Sure I could be wrong, but I still want to try with her, I'm willing to sacrifice everything I've got for her. I don't know about her though...it makes my head, and heart, hurt. Then again the immense distance doesn't help. We'll see, I can't blame her for being careful.

wow, i liked that :)
I believe in love. In true love i am corny and believe that as well. I know i am incorrect about true love, but i still believe in it. Desperate to cling on any sort of hope to be honest. For finding "the one" though, i dont know. Poeple die alone, didnt they have true love? did they do something wrong? "The one" is not something i belive in, but like many others hope for, even though i know its not true.

Some people are unable to find true love because they are not very good people. If you are a good person who another good person could fall in love with, you have a shot at true love.

A lot of people talk about infatuation vs love. I've seen very long term relationships where the infatuation never leaves and the love just gets deeper. Do you know how? The people are fun people who don't bore easily and find each other absolutely amazing because they are both absolutely amazing. You have to work on yourself before you can work with someone else.

Lots of people are depressing, sorry people who are never satisfied with their lives because they gave up on their dreams. Finding someone to be with will not fix this. Adding a single person won't complete the puzzle that is only half done. You have to be happy to be happy with someone else, dummy.

If your life is at least somewhat together, if you have dreams you want to chase, if you're not an absolute buttface, if you know that sex can be amazing (not necessary, but it helps), and if you are in a location where it is possible that other similar people of your "gender of interest" may be (can't find em if they aren't there), then you have a shot at finding "true love."

I believe that there's different levels of compatibility: there's people out there that fit INCREDIBLY well with you, they're very rare and hard to find, then there's good matches that can last a very long time, and then there's the more shallow, brief relationships and sexual encounters.

As I believe that love is primarily a series of biochemical and physiological conditions which reinforce the biological urges to reproduce, I absolutely don't believe in "true love" or "The One". I barely believe in romance, and my beliefs in that direction point to it being another series of complex reinforcers which work to maintain reproductive pairings.

I would have thought that Internet nerds would be among the most likely sets of people not to believe in the risible parts of romance and that ostensible idea of true love; I'd have thought that you'd be more educated in biology and less in that pathetically idealistic Hollywood-style representations of physiological and mental attraction.

I was wrong. I'm disappointed - all of you romantic types are clogging up The Escapist with your saccharine-sweet topics about romance, relationships and love. It's actually quite offensive.
Love is a combination of hormones and chemicals and abstract ideals created with the human being's superior mind. Why do you act as if this makes it any less special and beautiful?

I haven't "been in love" like that so I wouldn't know what its like to think someone is "the one".

I do believe, however, that relationships only work if you work to make them work (If that made any sense)

Finding that one person who you can trust completely, who you can be vulnerable with, who you share you feelings with is a lot more complicated than the release of hormones. I find your narrow minded view of such a complicated emotion pretty offensive myself. :p

well...
Im one of those people who believes love is just a strong animal urge to mate with another of the same species for life, so if you define it like that then...
maybe?

I really want to think that I will find a true love some day, but I'm just not sure.

Damn depression and low self esteem. *sadface*
Exactly what the cat-thing said. My family as well as many other family's I know have divorced or been ruined by things like cheating and because things just didn't turn out right. It seems most of the time it doesn't turn out even after marriage.

'True Love' Is just finding someone you truly love. If you find that person, you don't really need to look any further. Looking for 'The One' is something I'm letting go. Because I might expect that everything works perfectly without discussions or need for compromising.

Besides, I tried everything to get a girl to trust me. Nothing worked. So I don't know what's wrong. Perhaps I never met 'The One' or perhaps I'm making huge mistakes. Who knows?

Nah,to really fall in love with some one you need to find them attractive and have personalities that gel really well. There are lots of people in the world who could potentially fill these criteria. Being in love is not magic,its just a mix of mutual sexual attraction and intimate friendship and for me,thats enough.

For my understanding, it's not so much that there's only one, perfect match. It's trying until you find someone with whom you'll put effort into making an imperfect match work
D'awwww.

I'm an pessimistic, depressed, realistic student.
I think 'the one' is complete poop, I believe that you find someone you like and you shift your tastes to match the other person.

If it's a blonde girl, you'll find yourself noticing how much more fun they are.
If a feminist, you'll find yourself noticing the tyranny put on women by men.

I fancy a girl, who has a haircut I could have sworn I thought was lame (long straight hair with a straight cut fringe), recently I've found myself commenting on how 'cute' it was.

[Obligatory snarky comment]

People believe in true love because they want to believe in it, and have little-to-no reason to doubt that everyone has that "special someone". Cynics or lazy folks won't believe in it due to apathy, fear or, well, laziness. They're no more "right" than the person who live in their romanticized world. *shrug*
