But love, in the context of a meaningful relationship of mutual support and friendship and caring and physical intimacy and sharing of a life? Sure. My sentiments exactly! That is ALSO the thing parents have for their kids when all the chemicals are working right  otherwise we'd be abandoning them left right and centre! | |

Yes I do, but I think there are many levels of it. You have the parent/child type, the friend type, the family type, and the romantic type. Most people focus on the romantic type most of all, and while I have experience that type of love, which brought me joy, it also brought me hurt and pain when it ended. So I guess its all about taking the good with the bad. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

You need to define 'true love' before asking.
If you mean in a spiritual way then hell why not. If you mean in a physical way the hell why not. Physically I've fallen in love a few times. And with love at first sight I have also experienced hate at first sight. I love my wife like I have loved no other. The longer we are together the more bonded we become. The more clingy we get too. But we both like it so it's okay. Could there be someone out there more suited to each of us. Possibly probably. But I'm happy with what I got as is annie. I don't want to find anyone else. I couldn't bare the thought of going to sleep or waking up with another woman. She's mine and I'm hers. | |
