Do you believe in romantic love?

Do you believe in romantic love? Is there the one for you, or is love simply nature's way of tricking humans into reproduction, a drug of a feeling that's destined to wear off? add anything you might think in a comment.

  • Yes. I do. I believe in romantic love. But, hate me if you will, I believe that friendship love is stronger.

      BROMANCE IS STRONGER THAN A ROMANCE!
      JD and Turk taught me that (Please say you watch Scrubs!)

  • I'm not sure exactly. I've seen couples fall in love only to have it break apart and remarry to another so if that illusory entity does exist it has the capacity to manifest itself in anyone we know and not just in one "soul mate".

    Something tells me though that love is more or less the effort between two compatible human beings to make a relationship work.

    I believe in love, but it doesn't mean love lasts forever. And I don't believe there is only one perfect person for you in life - love can be refound in someone new.

    Nature isn't deceitful the same way a human is deceitful. It is or it isn't. A flower doesn't say "ha ha silly bee, I tricked you into spreading my seed." They have evolved together.

    And there is more to love than simple reproduction. It helps, but it is a relatively new way that humans have reproduced. Centuries ago love came well after the reproduction of offspring.

    Romantic love does exist, but you can hardly find the perfect guy to give you that. 1 in a thousand. But it may not last

  • I believe its true but you have to be good looking, cool and lets not forget you have to have a 6 pack.
    I am yet to see romance between the not so good on the eyes type of people.
    So yeah that "perfect guy/girl" has to be good looking or love doesnt start.
    You can dissagree with me but you know its true.

    This is not romantic love this is fate. Fate says there is one person in the world for everyone. However to prove this true you need an even number of men and women. Since you think it is for production reasons. However if the population ever seems to favour one gender over the other this theory would not work.

    If you have more men that means that we would have less children since one man can impregnate multiple women. However lots of women and less men means lots of babies since one man can impregnate several females.

    We also have gay people which enjoy the same sex. They can not reproduce with each other. Some believe that gay people exists to prevent reproduction. Which means that being gay is not only natural but also needed for the survival of mankind.

    Unless you can create a chart measuring that the amount of men has always been even with that of women I doubt it. I don't think there is someone out there for everyone. I think some people will die lonely and some people just don't seem interested in love. So no I do not.

    We also have this new category called asexuality. Which is people who say they do not have a desire to find a mate. Which does indeed seem more logical then running around chasing hoping you find true love one day.

    of course it exists!! But sometimes (most times) it doesn't stay forever.

  • Who ever said you have to be "good lookin" to be in love with someone is shallow, and clearly not very intelligent. Love is alot different than attraction. You definately have to try to make love work and you can't just think that because you're in love you're never going to have altercations in your relationship.

    I believe the Meatloaf song,"two out of three ain't bad" probably is one song that decribes most relationships.

    The line,"there is only one girl that I will ever love." takes me back to my youth and that girl. Never told her what I thought of her and regreted it ever since.

    The relationships after her could never compare to her. Which in reality has become a fantasy.

    If I or you meet someone that surpassed that someone,I would imagine that would be love.

    It's real, but it's core function is reproduction. But it does serve a purpose, to strengthen the population. So yes, romantic love is definitely real, and it keeps us from mating with people who would not produce good offspring with us.

    Love exists only your brain, it's a state of mind and nothing else.

    My boyfriend is *so* romantic! A while ago, he came home with flowers, our parents were out for the evening, so I cooked him some lobster thermidor and we ate it by candlelight! It was *so* romantic!
