    By True Love, do we mean like soulmates? Like the person we are meant to be with?

    That I don't believe.

    If this is your definition of 'true love' then there are probably many 'true loves' for everyone. Of course most people are going to chime in and give you their definition of it and discard this description because it's so vague.

    I wonder how those results would be based on age.

    I believe people can and SHOULD love. I don't believe in "falling in love" where the elation just lifts you out of your spirits and you can just coast on emotion. Having everlasting attachment at first sight. I believe you can get 80-85% of that and call it a life. I dont think you have to s**t all over the 10-15% that falls short of what you consider love and keep trying to work up for a better love deal.

    I've noticed feelings of love can just so correspond to how well the curvatures of a women's body are contoured. I've noticed you can definitely define who you DON'T love and NEVER WILL love quite easily.

    But I dont think its worth it getting far into studying dopamine and oxytocin in the brain, studying neurotransmitters and receptors and all that crap. They're already trying to take all the fun out of life. Why not have a love "grail"...with a prenup in place of course

    I voted 'no' but my answer should be 'yes'. It's a social construct. If it wasn't for 6 hormone raging teenage years we'd never think of the idea. English lit classes galvanize the idea in our minds by making us read Shakespeare when we're 15. Thanks jerks.

    So, yes it exists - but it's created by society, not nature or destiny.

    I used to. Believe me I did. I'm sure it's true, but it's extremely rare both people feel the same at the same time :(

    I used to believe there was a such thing. But I have come to find out that most people are too ****ed up to even love themselves, much less love anyone else.

    you don't have one. Men don't post their sour grapes on-line. Go plant flowers.

    I do believe in it. I also believe it doesn't last for more than a couple of years at most. After that, you better get along.

    I don't believe in true love. But I do believe in Interpol and Wolf Parade.

    I still believe that there is such a thing, but I agree with you.. there are so many people who aren't open to it because of their own freaky problems. Heck I may even be one of them.

    But I know too many people who have fallen in love and worked to make their marriages last 30 40 50 years or more to not believe in it completely.

    I don't believe that there is one and only one soulmate out there for everybody.

    Is that the question?
