Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (11 October 2006): This is truly a big question and one with many opinions and answers. I believe true love takes time, there are stages to love and to romantic relationships...what most people confuse for true love is really a strong attraction with that thing called chemistry that happens when there is physical attraction, mental attraction, emotional connection and spriitual connection...all complicated enough, but still not true love.
True love is when your heart has met it's mate...the one that you are willing to sacrifice for and the one you are willing to become a person worth loving.. true love is all about BEING that loving person, not about getting that payoff of FEELING IN LOVE that everyone is searching for...that feeling is fleeting, it comes and it goes, and it is dependent on many external things...what is true love is that internal COMMITMENT that you make to another with all your heart mind and soul...that is how you know when you have found it, you BECOME IT.

"The course of true love ne'er ran smooth," as Shakespeare said, and
he is spoke the truth... True love may be fleeting, ravaged by events
and even other jealous people. I think that true love in romantic terms has
a strong sexual component but also involves the complete heart. If it
is equally balanced between the two, it is a miracle. It is not selfish, but it also has the question of the princess who must pick the lady or the lion coming out of the door to meet the
prince -does she love him if she picks the lady, thereby losing him, or
does she love him so much she rather see him dead than someone else
have him?

 Its actually as simple as the question.
True love is when you know exactly all the bad stuff about them and love them anyway enough to help them date and marry your best friend if that is who makes THEM happy.
True love is a quiet knowledge and joy in another's happiness...above your own.
when the whole love is not about you getting....only about your giving...it is true.
All the rest of that heart flutter and can't think of anything else, sweats...that's just chemicals...and want of sex. Yes there is such a thing as true love...and everyone has more than one in the world if you are open to it and choose well. most people believe great desire is true love and then are crumpled when it proves false...they missed the real true love because it was not as exciting...and they mistook it for friendship.

 Love is a kind of self-imposed hallucination, so weather somoeone believes they are inlove is entirely down to the individual. It can happen instantly or can take may years.

A
reader, anonymous, writes (10 October 2006): I will never know what true love is, because I am an analytical thinker. However, I think true love can really only come true for those who have simpler minds, or at least, simpler intimate desires in life. Those who constantly yearn for love, and have found someone remotely close to what they feel is their lifetime partner can be true love. This is an interpretation unique to each individual. The word "true" in true love is relative to a person's psyche and emotional stability. That absoluteness cannot be found in a complex mind, unless you're 'autistic' and narrowminded in your spectrum of thought.
Then again, I'm probably not explaining this very well. I believe Lostandalone and some others already made a thread about this before.
