Do you believe in romantic love?

[Alenka]

True love exists, but not everyone loves truly. Especially nowadays in the era of selfishness.
Because true love is sacrificial love, which takes some amount of selflessness.

This video summs it up quite nicely:

i believe it exists, but people have a warped view of what it really is due to hollywood and social media. imo love is more of a choice than a feeling, anyone can tell you they love you, but most people won't do things to show that they mean it. i also believe that people get into relationships with people they don't really like out of loneliness, which just hurts both people in the end. i think once you've found your person you'll know, you'll do everything in your power to help them and care for them. you feel happy when something good happens to them and when something happens in your life, they're the first person you want to tell. and above all, they should be your best friend, someone you can talk to about anything and share interests with. falling in love can be scary but the good moments make it worth it.

Yes, it does exist but the feeling has to be mutual. From my experience. It like a bond between both individuals where you feel good just by being around that person you love. It is honestly caring a lot for that person well being and success. A person whom one can trust their feelings with. At its peak you may feel your heart physically skip a beat and get funny feeling in your stomach. From a men perspective I don't why this happens, but I felt urge to look after her or protect her (even of there wasn't any threat I still felt urge to do so somehow).

Glad you've started to accept your place in the gay cultural sphere.

I don’t even remember when I first heard that term, but I’ve been using it for ages.

I’ve ended every “romantic” partnership I’ve been in.

My aunt seems to think it’s because I haven’t met someone intelligent enough to handle me, which quite possibly might be true.

What guarantee is there that my “match” and I will know each other after the first two years of hormones die down?

Sometimes, I think I don’t even need the romance of a relationship, but the steadiness and maturity of a partner that doesn’t leave everything up to me to handle and figure out. There’s no romance associated with that, though I’d like to think there’s something deeply romantic about having someone I can depend on and be weak around.

It loses its appeal as you get older and realize people are stupid and emotionally reckless.

I don't see myself at 26 years old having the same type of romantic relationship as a 17 year old in highschool. At the time I though my girlfriend was the most amazing girl in the world while in reality she was just a retarded slut with daddy issues.

Absolutely it exists. It doesn't even take hard work either. Once you're with someone for x amount of years just the simple things like natural smell of your partner is enough to feel your lost in the world if away from home for even few days.

You would not know until you been there.

It exists but it is rare
