Does the so call " true love " still exist???

[AmericanExpress]

What's love?

When you are together with that special someone, you pretend to ignore that person. But when that special someone is not around, you might look around to find them.
At that moment, you are in love.

Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh, your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone.
Then, you are in love.

Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back, to let you know of their safe arrival, your phone is quiet.
You are desperately waiting for the call!
At that moment, you are in love.

If you are much more excited for one short e-mail from that special someone than other many long e-mails, you are in love.

When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the emails or SMS messages in your phone because of one message from that special someone, you are in love.

When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would not hesitate to think of that special someone.
Then, you are in love.

You keep telling yourself, "that special someone is just a friend",but you realize that you can not avoid that person's special attraction. At that moment, you are in love.

While you are reading this mail, if someone appears in your mind, then u are in love with that person...

Talk about movies. If its a love story, my mind and love would go to that special person of mine even though OC is rite beside me...

[no_faith]

whether love exist or not, it creates a troubled person.

Pierre Png giving his liver to Andrea de cruz......once again that goes to show man would go all out to prove his Love for his gil. True love do exist. Woman would never understand what is true love.

Hmmph...maybe lately i've been hurt badly by a girl whom i've sacrificed alot during the courtship process, to the extend that i've lost friends, good friends i mean, lost focus in work, and lost the will to do things, only to hear from her in the end that we both are not suited for each other, which i too think so as we both have vast differences in our way of life, work and family background. FYI, this girl i've been after her family opens a famous spa around the 90210 area in KK, and i got to know her one day during one of my travels there few months, it's like love at first sight, everything was fairytale like, but unfortunately she wasn't able to sacrifice for the relationship, she looked down at me for not being as well-to-do as her ex's, of which all of them are well into their late 20's to early 30's, and i'm barely into my early 20's. Put it another way simply, she is looking into someone who is able to provide her with what she needs materialistically as the primary objective before she will think of venturing further on whether to accept a person or not. Gone are the days where girls will be with you through thick and thin, girls nowdays are just too materialistic, no matter how you see it, everyone of them are just like that. True love..yes probably it'll only happen if you have money, and all the material things that the world could offer...love to me or maybe to some bro's out there is such a complicated thing. Put too much into it and when all things fail, you find yourself down and alone, depressed, suicidal and so on. But if you put too little into it, you feel as if you have not done enough to capture the very heart. Is looking for someone who can share thoughts and the ups and downs of life together so hard to come by? What is the point of being together one day and breaking up the next day? It's really confusing... perhaps i'm still sore from my encounter with this girl so I decided to share my thoughts on true love and chance upon this thread...cheers

i think true love doesn't exist anymore.. in this day and time, regardless of nationality, all women (except the most naive) are damm bloody practical. The women around me evaluate men on the following criteria: 1) Appearence 2)Earning Power 3)Age 4)Whether this man is generous and treats her well? If the man fulfills 3 out of 4 then it is enough. Love is always the last on their mind. Many i know do not even really like their bf/husband. Its simply not a criteria anymore. Many will have a bf/husband they don't love or like but can shelter, take care and provide for them. And many will eventually have a lover/sexbuddy on the side that they like/love or feel passion for....thats the reality of life and women in this day and time..

My perception of true love as I was influence greatly by the song from Bryan Adams

I don't fall in love so easily... for 30 odds years of my life I only fell in love thrice. I did my best to do the same as spelled in the lyrics...........

Everything I do I do it for you
Look into my eyes - you will see
凝视我的双眸你将看见
What you mean to me
你在我内心的地位
Search your heart - search your soul
摸索你的内心，摸索你的灵魂
And when you find me there you'll search no more
当你寻获我的存在你会终止找寻
Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
不要告诉我它不值得尝试
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for
不要告诉我它不值得以生命换取
You know it's true
你知道它是真实的
Everything I do - I do it for you
我做一切的一切 - 都是为你

Look into Your heart - you will find
探索你的内心 - 你将发现
There's nothing there to hide
你已经无所遁形
Take me as I am - take my life
接受真实的我 - 接受我的生命
I would give it all I would sacrifice
我会付出并且牺牲我的全部
Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for
不要告诉我它不值得我奋斗
I can't help it there's nothing' I want more
我无法自拔因为除你我什麽都不要
You know it's true
你知道它是真实的
Everything I do - I do it for you
我做一切的一切 - 都是为你

There's no love - like your love
没有爱 - 象你的爱
And no other - could give more love
其他的人 - 不能给更多的爱
There's nowhere - unless you're there
天地无处 - 除非有你
All the time - all the way
无尽的时光 - 无尽的空间
Oh you can't tell me it's not worth trying' for
不要告诉我它不值得尝试
I can't help it there's nothing' I want more
我无法自拔因为除你我什麽都不要
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
我愿为你而奋斗 - 我愿为你而撒谎
Walk the wire for you - Yeah I'd die for you
为你而走钢丝- 为你而牺牲自己的生命
You know it's true
你知道它是真实的
Everything I do - I do it for you
我做一切的一切 - 都是为你



Cheers

True love does exist, but it can also vanish in a whiff ....
A gal n guy may be really in love at a certain time, but regardless, something can happen that break them apart .... we cant say then that this is not true love, it is still true love then .....

Dun lose ur directions in life coz love is not everything in life.....I have seen so many people losing it by pursuing love as if it is the ultimate destination in life....It isnt!!The chances of getting true love is like striking TOTO, so treat love like how u treat TOTO...

unfortunately she wasn't able to sacrifice for the relationship, she looked down at me for not being as well-to-do as her ex's, of which all of them are well into their late 20's to early 30's, and i'm barely into my early 20's.

Since u already know her financial status, what makes u think that she will downgrade her lifestyle to be with u???To b fightfully honest, I will rather be single rather than marry a gal that has lower earning power than me....The theory of marriage works in the same way as the financial theory of mergers n acquisition - entities r better together if the whole is greater than the sum of the parts....N as equal partner in a marriage, just consider if 50% of the whole earning power (realised n unrealised) is greater than what u currently earns (realised or unrealised) at the moment....If otherwise, then financially, its not wise to enter such relationship....Of coz, earning power is just one component of an analysis, there r other tangible n intangible benefits/costs to consider in a marriage too.....Who says marriage is not a science??

Is looking for someone who can share thoughts and the ups and downs of life together so hard to come by? What is the point of being together one day and breaking up the next day?

I guess our generation has been exposed to too much movies n television - the jobs of these directors r to bring their shows closer to the people's hearts but oftentimes they did such a good job that many people cant snap out of it.....The line between fact n fiction began to blur in people's mind so mush so that people begun to emulate what they see on the silver screen n fantasize that love will fall on their laps...To borrow a phrase from Einstein - Marriage is 1% Love n 99% hard work......

Ur observation is quite true. In generally, women in their 20s r very picky n dao when it comes to men, coz they r maximizing their assets to snap a husband, akin to an oil pipeline.....When they secured their financial status, they will come out to play since the Women's Charter in general favours them in the event of a divorce...Furthermore, most men hate to admit that their wives r commiting adultery behind their backs, its especially hard for successful men becoz of the face factor....So oftentime, divorce is very an option to them....According to a local PI who specialises in tracking adulterous partners, he figured that 80% of his female clients divorced their husbands while only 10% of his male clients divorced their wives...Haa

For 7 years you can be together and yet not long after that she is steady with another guy does indeed give some indications that she is probably after the guy for things that you coudn't provide, money, security and so on. It is always said that women are the ones that ''loses'' the most in a failed relationship, but too me we men are always the biggest losers. You could say the world is unfair, but this is just the plain reality of a lame man's world which i've started to come to terms with. From my experiance, i've also learnt that ''what is yours is yours, what is not yours wil never be yours''- no matter how hard you try.

Take it easy bro. Our present lifestyle is macdonald style - instant gratification. Even if there is just a slight delay, tempers flare instantly. Love escapes not such predicament of our times.

Rather than to live life with a fatalistic attitude, grab life by the horns - make your best effort to win a girl's heart, not just once, but daily. If you gonna wait for love to come by with no effort on your part, then you'll be better off forgetting the existance of love.

If you had done everything humanely possible to give love and it is not reciprocated, than walk away with head held high that you had done your best and she deserves not you. Its not a case of sour grapes, but if your best is not enough, than no point hanging on and mopping about her. Better to hold on to your own self esteem and self worth to find another more deserving of you.

I was sleepless for 2-3 nights. Was she concerned? When time to "break up", she didn't even bother to meet face to face. Some people are just that screwed up.

I learnt my lesson. Never even try to understand. When you think u understand, u are still far from it. Budget $x to court a girl. If going to exceed budget, just move to somewhere else. Worse come to worse, can consider viet wife. No point losing money, time and sleep over unappreciative people. Save the money on courting stupid girls, end of year can go holiday.

Even put money into car also more shiok. Car can serve u. Women got stupid moods. When u buay song, car in carpark still can bring you round.

hey man, agree wif u, we everytimes treat gal with 101% of our heart, but wat did they treat it as? jus another flies ard them.. For them, we can do so much to sacrificed, our time, $$. For example smsing them, must send 5 sms then only she will reply one.. wth
Wat i feel is that our effort is not always paid off... we like everytime give 101% of our effort, in the end, only get back like 10% of appreciation, some time even got negative result some more.

Nowadays i wonder, will i ever get lucky in love in this life time...
