I think those phrases are not true, because when there is true love you don't need to say those things. Get bored of your partner? Well, duh, if it's not true love. If it is however, then it won't happen (... easily).

You see? That's why I think it doesn't exist. Everybody seems to doubt about it.
 
I don't believe in love too much. Its the same story all the time. You get together with someone, have a good time for about a week - then start crying your eyes out. No matter what, it always ends in a disaster. The same thing happened to me 3 days ago. Soo...
 
I used to think that true love didn't exist, but that was before I met the man I would like to spend the rest of my life with.

Some of my friends don't believe that it exists. Then again, they haven't found someone for themselves like I have. That's why I feel that sometimes those who don't believe in love haven't seen a true example before them. I've seen relationships that lasted for years suddenly fall apart; I've seen relationships where the two are in so much love that it's inspiring to others.

It just really depends on the person and the experiences that they see in their lives.
 
I know, at least in my school, most relationships are pretty much based around the idea of sleeping with someone. There's only been one relationship in our school last over a year and that's MaryxBrandon.

Well... yeah. That says a lot about what I think about it. It's not like I don't believe in it, it's just that it's usually not there.
 
I think that the idea of 'Love' has been ruined by the media. They substitute sex for love. I find it hard to not believe in real love. As for the idea of True love, I think that we can have many loves in life and that theres more than one person for you out there.
 
I agree with Queen Boo! Most teenage love is just for the body and not for the mind or the person at all. I think as we get older and more mature that love becomes more real.
 
There is true love...

If Love doesn't last, it was never true love in the first place
 
Hmm...
I definitely think that true love exists, but it can be different inside of each person.
For example, I love my dad with all of my heart, as well as my grandma. Why can't that be considered true love? Just because it's not a romantic relationship between a couple doesn't mean it's not true love.
Now, I haven't experienced real true true love at all with a guy before, so I can't really say anything about that. :x
 
O ya it definately still exists, and it could be argued that it is on a little bit of a decline, but I don't think that, say all the devorces are true love dissapearing. I think people are maybe just looking too hard or are just having more trouble finding it.
I think the bigger question is, What is true love?

Why i say it could be argued is that, is because despite all the fairy tales of Princess' and Prince's finding true love, it wasn't really like that. The ones that found the real love were more likely to be the peasants, in some cases. So I don't think it's really declining, just that the view's are changing.
 
Ah, my favorite subject. There are always times when you have the utmost doubt for love. And it's because of such high expectations that we are almost never able to be satisfied with ourselves. Take me for example. The hopeless romantic, love-crazy Romance Hero. I love my girlfriend, with all my heart, and it's because she knows and understands that I would put her over most matters that she puts trust in me and loves me mutually for that reason. I don't love her for sex, that is one of the weakest reasons for that matter. I really do love her. As she does me. Doubts? Not for a second. I'm always there for her, but if I can't because it's impossible would be the only reason. And those kinds of things have to be understandable. What the problem is with most girls in the recent (in my opinion) is they expect too much from their boyfriend. They leech off of him. And if he doesn't cope with her, she is in hysteria and breaks down because she expects the guy to understand everything. That's just a complete mistake. But it's so common, you'd think all girls are like that. What I do is ASK what's wrong, and she tells me her problems. If you say "oh, your a guy, you don't understand" then why choose to love him in the first place. I say, love cautiously, because love is more dangerous than anything else in the world. It attacks the heart.

Don't get the impression that I think I "know" love. I just speak through experience.

Aye. I agree. If the girl isnt understanding then there's no room for the relationship to grow. Same for doubts. If doubt is causing problems then the relationship could head south fast. XP

Very wise words indeed. And very true.

I'm still a firm beliver in true love. I may not have found it yet. Or if I have found it I've been too blind to see it.

This has actually happened. It happened around the time of WWII. Some guy that got drafted into the army loved a girl so much that when she broke up with him, he committed suicide.

I still believe there's a true love somewhere in the world for everyone. I think they just haven't met them yet.
When someone does find their true love, they'll know the person just from looking at him/her.
 
There is still true love, and believe it or not, it can last longer than Betty White.

If you don't believe in love, maybe you're either heartbroken, a pessimist, or you listen to Simon & Garfunkel too much.
 
If you dont beleive in love... youll never find true love.

Put it in that context and swivel it around in your drink for a while =P

Im in love, and its definately true.
True love is when you're so blinded by your feeling for them, that you dont even realise you are in love.

Then sometimes, it kindly reminds you. Its the best feeling in the world.
Nothing compares.

I'm pretty sure this is not the only time in history that something like that has happened.

Everyone at some point thinks "This is the love of my life", but then the love may disappear. You may say that wasn't true love if it disappeared, but how can we know that this is not reflected in all the cases. Some may just be slower to disappear but, really, something that lasts forever?

Not heartbroken, not so pessimist, and I don't know Simon & Garfunkel. I'm just using logic in a situation that seems to have too much 'magic' and less realism.

You'll never know until you feel it yourself. Love is a very volatile matter-- It's no unity, no digit, no fixed situation. Love is merely relative to your own deliberation, it can last long, or little, it can be strong or slim, it can be true or false depending on yourself. That's the way I see it.

You're nuts if you think love can be defined or limited by something as systematic as logic.

I know love isn't the same as a math equation. It's difficult to understand for everyone, but it's not like defining God or something. From my point of view, it's simple. People lie when saying "I love you", for example with your two-week girlfriend. That doesn't happen. So, simply thinking, who says time does fix things with love. At anytime, even after your twenty-year relationship, love can die. That's why divorces happen, I should add.

My point was just that. You can't actually have reason over whether those people lie or not. You can't assure it's not possible merely on your simple experience or any romance literature or communication you've gone through.

Besides each has their own definition of love, and the term can be used with or without the desired emphasis.
