skygal3 0 #55 January 31, 2003 Whatever it takes..as long as it is reflected. Honesty, trust..my heart. An open mind to not become complacent and to keep learning and growing. Love is more than a feeling. I'm a good single but my god I want to be a compliment in someones life. It needs to be apparent that the other is willing to open up as much as I am so that I can unabashedly be me.I believe true love takes work, but only when both are willing to work at it and learn.

mouth 0 #58 January 31, 2003 Ferdi, You are such a sweet romantic. Your cute little wife is one lucky woman. I agree with Deuce and Wendy in that my kids are the true loves of my life. My everyday life revolves around them. Everything I do (except skydive, and I generally only skydive when I don't have them) is done for them. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Deuce 1 #62 January 31, 2003 True love is like perfect weather. It can only exist for a short period of time. It's timing. It's horrifically complex, and our culture sells it like it's real, and can burn in your heart 24/7. It can't. Some days, maybe most days, you want blue skies, warm air, and low winds. That is perfect weather for you, on that day. Some days you want it to rain like the end of creation, thunder, lightening, and gale force winds. Some days you want to put on all of your warm clothes and walk in the snow. You can't have what you want in the weather every single day. But some days the weather is perfect for your mood, that's true love, that's true bliss. True love is waiting at the window for perfect weather, knowing it will come.

mouth 0 #64 January 31, 2003 As much as I would like to believe that true love is actually there for everyone in reality I don't. Sometime we can wait at the window but the perfect weather never comes. Maybe you missed out on the perfect weather yesterday because you weren't looking, or maybe you have no idea what kind of weather you need. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Cajones 0 #69 January 31, 2003 Very nicely put. Poetic interpretation of what I consider "true" love... Here's my take: True love differs from the plain variety in the inclusion of the head along with the heart. I've loved with my heart, knowing in my head it just wasn't all there. Sort of a trap cupid lays for us. Of course, I'm male, so it could be I got horny at the wrong time with the wrong person (being honest here - but we'll leave that to a different thread). People fall in and out of love all the time. We are individuals, and we are going to disagree on something, sooner or later. True love makes the stand that, no matter what, this person is my best friend, as well as my lover, and a good person - I will be patient. We will fall back in love, and I will still be here for him/her. Even when my heart is hurting, my mind knows I belong with this one person. You just have to decide - this is the one. Stand on your integrity, trust each other, communicate, nurture, explore everything together, experience everything together, and when things are bad, remember who you (collectively) are. True love has patience. What would I do for true love? I'd be patient. The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygal3 0 #70 January 31, 2003 [playing coy] so um..does that mean to find true love I should head California?? They have great weather. Of course, the Northeast is synonymous with crazy moody weather so I should definately leave here. Check. Well, I hear Fla. is pretty nice, pretty stormy too, don't want a violent love- scratch that..can't take dry heat-don't want a passionless love..scratch that..rainy/overcast northwest does that mean broken heart??

They are conflicting all of the time. BB O.K, if you don't mind a "religious" perspective and if you can live through my spelling. I'm not totally religious but I am spiritual and that has led me to a lot of study...primarily that of Biblical teachings/doctrines or what have you. This is just my personal perspective although I may stray LOL. There is basically three types of love found in the NT Greek - the original language in which the NT was written. Forgive my spelling......the first is "Agopa" Love which means a God-Like, sacrificial love in which you expect nothing in return. You will do anything to purpose that person's good......very committed, sacrificial and based upon a purpose other than what you may feel with your emotions. The second is "Phlio" a brotherly love........a love that we feel for family members (other than spouse & kids, I feel) and close friends.........based on many things but also on feelings, warm feelings. The third (my favorite, I'm sorry I meant to say the most fun) is "Eros" a fleshly, erotic and maybe "selfish" love in which you "see yourself" and also gain gratification from.........very, very short lived. Many relationships don't make it past this stage to something more committed. Now, that I have even throughly confused myself......I hope this helps a little.

sunshine 2 #72 January 31, 2003 I've always had the belief that things happen the way they do for a reason. I can't really describe what "true love" is cause i don't really know. What i do know is how my sweetie makes me feel. It only takes the mention of something for me to recall a sweet memory of my boy. When i wake up before him in the morning and look over at him while he's still sleeping, it brings a smile to my face and still gives me that flurry feeling in my heart. I have no idea if it is "true love" but i know i'm happy as i've ever been. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

QTPi 0 #74 January 31, 2003 Wow! Very well put. True, that tingle and excitement fade in a relationship and it gets down to day-to-day living in the nitty gritty. So you have to work to keep that tingle and excitement. So when you're looking, don't look for someone you can live with, put up with....look for the one you can't live without! -- A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. -Oliver Wendel Holmes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #75 January 31, 2003 Ya'll have given me all kinds of ideology. Again we all view love differently. Point for me. No one can give a definative answer that all will agree with. Love is.....what works in your world and your reality. Love does expand itself....it grows more love. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
