Hmmm too bad. 5 years just went like that. There is really no guarantee for things like this

Flytefalls:
Yes... Although your words are more user-friendly lol

rali123: @Binger, der re things u can't just explain no matter how much u try nd I guess dis is 1.

Why do you think people compare there present gf to an ex they once loved, it not because she's perfect, it just the feeling. Wat u tink?

sleekymag: Ok let me start with my own experience. I can say i have been in true love twice already, and i'm still single today, hoping a third true love would come my way. I fell in love as a teenager just entering the university, and the relationship lasted two years, then she left. After two years or so, she came back, but then, the pure love i had for her had disappeared. i managed the relationship for six months till i decided to walk out.

I didn't find true love again for another three years. And when i did, it lasted a whooping five years, and then it fell like a pack of cards (though not my making).

Two years on, and am still looking for that lady who can be my true love, particularly when am thinking of settling down. And the issue is, am the very selective type. One would wonder if i was ever truly in love those times, or if love in itself is just a figment of the imagination (you choosing to feel the way you feel).

sleekymag: I am curious to know if true love can be found as many times as possible in someone's life. Is there a limit to the number of times one can fall in love or is TRUE LOVE really a one-time event? I am not talking about deep crushes you've had at various point in time, neither am i talking about you loving someone and the love was never returned. Am talking about reciprocal love to the point that you both feel you'd rather spend the rest of your lives together, until something happens and you unfortunately find yourselves out of love again. Is true love real, or is it a myth that's over-hyped? Your opinions are welcome.

Flytefalls:
I don't believe in it. Love is love as love. Nothing more or nothing less. I believe we can love deeply and successfully, but although it may be a "once-in-THIS-lifetime" experience, it could be just as strong with a different partner "out there" (obviously with differences. Just my opinion

Do you believe in that saying, "if you love someone or something, let it go; if it comes back it's yours and it's meant to be, if it doesn't it never was to begin with?" Something like that, you get my point, lol.

You say you have been in true love twice already. The first left after two years, came back but the love you had had disappeared, etc. Would you call that true love then? You didn't state why she left, but she came back after two years. Why did the love you had for her disappear if it was true love to begin with? I assume she came back because she still loved you, yea?. But your feelings had changed ( you said the "pure love you had for her had disappeared" )? Just trying to understand.This topic brings other questions to mind. Interesting responses.

DigitalSignal:
You can love as many times as possible during the course of your life's journey! Love is abstract. It's not something you possess physically that when lost can't be found!

sleekymag:

Even though i think this should be the case, i still believe you can't just truly love too many people over the course of a lifetime, else that would no longer be called love.

Flytefalls:
You mean you can not call it love

googles: You can love as many times as possible I have come to learn. No such thing as "one true love"

sleekymag:

Even though i think this should be the case, i still believe you can't just truly love too many people over the course of a lifetime, else that would no longer be called love. However, could there be a figure to the maximum number of true love one can experience? Probably, like someone said an empirical study could be carried out.

DigitalSignal:
Like I said before, love is abstract! It's a state of mind that you attain over a period of time and as long as you've not shut the door for love, which may not even be possible, you can love as many times as possible! Two love experiences may not exactly be the same but they're all unique in different ways! The fact that we have the most beautiful girl in nigeria or wherever does not negate the existence of other beautiful ladies! My point is that you can love in one relationship and love differently in another! We have often times in relationships assumed feelings we do not have just to get what we want from the other party; that's the reason the word 'love' doesn't seem to have meaning anymore to some people! So if you open your mind, love can come in at any time during your life time!

gree-die:
you live once, you die once, you LOVE only ONCE

sleekymag:

Well, maybe for want of a proper definition, i won't call that 'true love'. What i mean is when you get to love too many people over the course of a lifetime... then the mystery of it being special, unique and reserved for that one person is lost, as the person can be replaced anytime and whenever, depending on what circumstances.

It is possible to love as many times as you can but none can be like your first love
