Jae Onasi Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 yea... right now all I have to go by is an avatar pic of Yoda, and the image in my head is quite disturbing... let me see if I can put the same picture in my head into yours... ------> Hey, what can I say, true love knows beauty is only skin deep. You know we girls plan that, don't you? It keeps your minds occupied so we can get important things done. Which things? Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven_Onasi Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'm further disgusted that this was in some way started by a quote from Matthew McConaughey... You have to admite that the quote does fit. @Raven, One of two things (well others also, but these are the main ones) can be assumed... a. You got a new boyfriend and just feel like you have to gush about it to the whole world... b. This thread is just a random projection of that emo (positive emo, no seriously drop the knife) side of girlness... *Places knife back in sheath* Well, I don't have a new boyfriend. Actually, I've never had a boyfriend. It was just pure curiosity that started this thread. I personally believe in True love, and I just wanted to know if anybody else did. And since I don't have a boyfriend, I spend most of my time here, with you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Jimmy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Then you’ve never seen it at all. The movies will lead you to believe love means thing like “Love means never having to say your sorry" and so forth. That is pure B.S. love means you’re going to asked forgiveness not because you want the person not to be mad at you any longer, but because you’re truly sorry for your actions. Love is doing things for no other reason than making the person happy or their life a little easier even if it provides no benefit to you. When both people feel that way at the same time then you have true love. It is very rare, but does happen. You're right, I haven't. My parents were going at it for as long as I can remember, I didn't keep my head up for god knows how long so I both wasn't looking for it and didn't see it.

Jae Onasi Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 You're right, I haven't. My parents were going at it for as long as I can remember, I didn't keep my head up for god knows how long so I both wasn't looking for it and didn't see it. No parents are perfect. Yes, there are some truly horrible relationships, places were domestic violence is a terrible issue, and there are truly great relationships. My parents fought like cats and dogs before finally splitting. Most of us in love fall somewhere in the middle. We're going to have good times and bad times both, because we're all human and make mistakes. There are some things I said to my kids or Jimbo that I dearly wish I could take back. All I could do was tell them I was sorry, ask forgiveness, and then move on. What I did have were a couple neighbors, some other family, some couples in church, and some work supervisors or co-workers who became my role models instead of my parents. I watched them and talked to them to learn from their examples. And actually, that's not a bad thing to have even if you have the almost-perfect parents, because one couple's not going to have all the answers anyway. True love is out there. You'll see it. @RH--oh yeah, 'sexeh' for sure. The tape on the glasses is a real attracter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus Q'ol Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Anyone who's ever been in love, I mean, really in love to your core, knows that true love exists because it exists inside of you, in your heart and soul. It's something that only two can feel. You can feel it with each sweet breath that you share together. You take notice of things that you never did before. Priorities change in an instant and the purpose of your life shifts. Things seem to become clearer. The sky is bluer, water is fresher, the trees sing to you and you feel one with another. Certain lyrics make more sense now and you can easily spot someone who's experiencing the same thing. Sometimes the excitement we label as 'butterflies' occurs when we meet someone who floats our boat. I wouldn't necessarily call that love at first sight, but, I can understand how someone could mistake that. True love takes a hold of you from the inside and you never want it to let you go. You may revel in it and try to understand it and nurture it to make it grow, but remember, ...there is always a price. For some the price is miniscule and goes undetected. For others, the price is devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi answered this better than I ever could, but I’ll give my perspective. I believe I was lucky as a child. My parents split up before I was old enough to see their fighting or my father’s drinking. I never even meet my father until I was thirteen years of age. Before his death we became good friends, and had a little of what I consider a healthy father son relationship. My relationships with my parents at first warped my relationships with the women I dated. Till I decided not to let it, I’m not my father and did not have to treat women in the same way he treated my mother. I’ve found what I consider true love once in my life so I know it does exist. I hope to find it again in the future, but I will have fun in the searching till then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Man Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I know True Love exists because I have found it. But what is True Love? It is that mutual desire to enjoy someone combined with a desire for what is best for each other. Yes, you take something from your partner, but you also give. Sometimes you give in to your partner's desires even if it is not what you wanted; sometimes you insist on your way. The key is always keeping in mind what is best for you as a couple. If you can both say you are willing to compromise when necessary and to stand firm when necessary for the good of both yourself and your partner, you have found True Love.

Mav Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 *clears throat* ... I think it's time that I repeat the words of a mentor of mine who happened to ponder this very subject himself... True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend and it stops... and his friend chimes in... It stops right there and it continues right here because what I think my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind. I'm sorry, I had to do it...

Cygnus Q'ol Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 @Raven Thank you, just an observation. Nice thread. @Jimbo, Couldn't have said it better, my man.

Prime Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 notice how the baby in the picture is not crying or screaming at frequencies that could shatter bulletproof glass? As they get older those times are more rare, and when it is your child you view crying differently. You want to help them feel better, not tell them to shut up. I guess you have to have a kid to understand. Suffice to say, being a dad is awesome. she's growing up way too fast. What a doll! Keep her away from the sex maniacs.Yep. She just turned 1!! And I have the shotgun and rocking chair all picked out. @ Prime -- Your daughter is sooooooooo cute Thanks. I sure think so. How did the people who have found it now find it originally then? Well, I looked hot to attract them, and then used a specific algorithm to choose the appropriate women from the sea of candidates. Whaaaa!!! there is a 2nd gen Prime... *wonders if she wears Delta Squad armor or Movie Robes for Halloween* the little munchkin is adorable manIndeed there is. She is more of a Jedi kind of girl though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True love is walking the living room floor at 2am holding them against your shoulder and patting their little backs to help them sleep after something scared them awake. Even when you just got to sleep just before they woke up. Your description of your own child crying vs another is exactly how Jimbo and I feel, too.

Mace MacLeod Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 @ Mace MacLeod -- What would make you assume I have a new boyfriend? Sorry, just kinda made that assumption. New romances are usually what get girls asking about true love, love at first sight, that sorta stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 There was one time i thought i was in love, it all happened on the coach and she looked at me for so long, we looked each other in the eyes for ages and smiled. That whole thing was new to me and i have never felt anything like it before, it was amazing. We walked to the bus stop together, although im pretty sure i fecked up on something i said because we never saw each other again. I could have picked some better words to start conversation. Blast, il never forget that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremia Skywalk Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Sure I believe true love, but dating and girls in general (and, God help, if you have a girlfriend) can be realy bothersome (unless the case of true love, i suppose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 HerbieZ I wouldn’t worry about it. Everyone goes through that sort of thing in early relationships. It is something that will give you good chuckle when you think of it later in life. If you want to talk about embarrassing moments I dropped my check book in a young ladies toilet before. I almost die as it was only our second or third date, but when I told her what happen and showed her my soaked check book she just laughed and it was a laughing with me laugh and not a laughing at me one. That was my first indication that she was the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henz Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I found my girl at 15. True love? Maybe. It sounds morbid but I think you wouldn't know until you lost them if it was true love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
