Whis is romantic love so elusive?

[PacificBlue]

Seems as if we are all searching for it if we don't have it. How come it's so hard to find then? Why does it seem like it comes so easily to some and for others they search and search and search...













and search

WHY? TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME!

 

[p_p_man]

Because it doesn't exist in real life?

 

[PacificBlue]

AAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

No, No, No...it does exist...it does I tell you!

 

[p_p_man]

Oh alright then...

it exists in real life


**sigh**

Sure it exists, but I don't think it ever lasts.

Easy love is cheap love.
If it's been hard to find, perhaps you can console yourself with the idea that it'll be all the better and stronger when you do find it. It will be real.

I have a friend who falls hard into crush after crush, I mean, to the point of obsession. She believes this is love. I don't envy her.

Unrequited love is easy enough to find. Hell, I was in love with, oh, 47 girls through high school and college. I mean, LOVE, big time love, I'll-slay-a-dragon-for-thee love.

It's finding someone to love YOU as much as you love them that's tricky. Because it can't be faked. When you're in love with someone, and she loves you, and you KNOW she loves you, there's nothing better on earth, that sense of perfect and complete joy.

I know romantic love fades, it can't last forever because you can't stay at that fever pitch too long and not burn out, but the memories of that love stay for a long time. That can be a good thing, and a bad thing. A past love can be impossible for the girl you're dating now to compete with in your own mind.

my 2 cents

My mother always said something like..."True love is a friendship that catches on fire...", or some such...

I always thought it was sweet, but kind of lame.

Until it happened to me...and it's been the most romantic, erotic, titillating, passionate, hottest and exciting 10+ years of my life.

And it just keeps getting better. I shit you not.

We committed to making it and keeping it that way. I appreciate my lover, and my lover appreciates the hell out of me. Yes, we fuss and fight sometimes, but we make up like a house on fire.

No holding grudges. Lots and lots of PDA (Public Displays of Affection). And never let the sun go down on your anger--never.

What is called Romantic Love is nothing more than two frends who decide they are a bit more than frends.

They find that the others happyness is more important than their own.

It's called unconditional surrender to each other. It also requires the use of 'Please' and 'Thank you' a lot.

Why does it seem like it comes so easily to some and for others they search and search and search...

From my own personal observations and experiences, I've come to believe that some people are just more open to finding it, more willing to dive in and risk it. Other people I know seem to be seeking perfection, holding back, waiting for the exact "right one" to come along, not risking it, and missing out on possibilities.

Um...huh? Oh, sorry. PB's av distracted me. Seriously, I think it exists. But, I've ALWAYS say, "what's normal?" Same can go for true love.

i think it happens just by luck when your least expecting it ... it does exist i think true love is something that is once in a life time that you have with only one person ... i was lucky because its happened to me at the start of my adult life ... i know it will last for the rest of my life now


im sure it will happen to you PB when your least expecting it
