Nope but instead increases insecurity and hatrage!

Yes TRUE love is out there but TRUE lust is too. YOu need to be careful. There are so many guys out there who use love to get sex. But then there are a few out there that are men and want to be loved and want love back. To know there are a few simple things too look for. NEVER have sex on the first second third or forth date. If that is a problem only go out. Don't be afraid to say no. If you are afraid to say no that he may not like you anymore then this isn't the guy you want to be with you need to be able to talk to them if not it will never be true love. Also if he gets upset cause you won't have sex get rid of him. True love has no boundry and has no faults if you can live with a guys faults and he can live with yours or you can't find any ineachother then it is true. Some times there will be thing that get on your nerves and on his. Just work through them. MAKE him work for you. If you can do that he will want you more and more. Always.\nREMEBER LOVE YOURSELF ABOVE ALL

Love is more than just a feeling. Real love is based on principles. Whether you like the Bible or hate it, there is a great description of agape love(love based on principle). 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 I believe. This love is a way of life.  If you live this way, you will be able to find others that do the same. The rest pretty much just happens. But if you want the love to grow and to last, apply the principles of agape love in your life. I promise, it works.\n\nP.s. Please view my question if you have time

Definitely not, we all have a first love, and more times than not this is not the person you end up with for the rest of your life.  Love like many other things in this world comes in many forms, from puppy love to the all time passionate love we see in romantic movies, but somewhere in between those two is real love.\n(Infatuation--Love--Obsession)

I think we all have archetypes (people who fit a certain look and criteria that fits  or works towards out ideals)that we are attracted too-- we take this attraction and ,if they are within our ideals, begin the dream of an ideal fulfilled--- hence love at first sight-- We believe what we want is near and  then we project this belief and their ability t fulfill and be the ideal man or woman on to the person who has "captured out heart " so to speak-- \n\nHowever--it is in truth Hope transfered into belief,which is based on the archetype. This belief becomes enamoured with the person because of this fit to their ideal.The emotional pul of these factors persuades of the reality and our drive to a final fulfillment of an ideal union and romantiised love  --\n\nYEt,at this point it still not true love-it is the only emotions which come with a sense of being in love -but this idealised version also contains longing-  -For the real thing- you need to get to know each other and find other common grounds and shared desires--Hence the the longing--or as some say unrequited love(an ideal rejected)\n\nit is in short an love at first sight is FIRSTLY ------------- idealised lust- which is VERY different when compared with the common animalistic style of lust which has only one meaning and desire driving it --Want!!! I Want !!!\nYummy !!! Yummy!!! Yummy!!! WAnt! NOW!!!!!\n\nBUT the Idealised form of lust(want)also can become to feel like a need and has the person idealised connected to concepts and forms of reasoning which are attached to the person wanting or longing-- \n\nTherefore the use of love is used to fill and verify the differences between the two types of lust-(in some ways one seems selfish and ugly while the idealised seems giving and kind-) -- And in the the lust based on belief of goodness and truth it can make a person choose and perform certain compromises in order for ideal to strengthen a belief and if lucky then an actual truth. and if this happens-and the view they have is returned and the people engage in a relationship-then yes it is and was Love at first site.\n\nbut as said-- language and other things must come in to play to take it further than just a dream --they must be involved in the whole process and ritual ,so as to make those\n *Dreams Come True* !\n\ncheers\nheres to dreams

Of course it is, but it is clear to me that it is obvious you don't know it for yourself. A person who has felt true love wouldn't even doubt that true love is the best feeling ever. I love sex, sex is great of course, but making love with someone you really love is something unexplainable. So yes, true love is much better that just having sex, but it is impossible for us to make you feel that way with our advise. You'll realize that these words are true in the second you FEEL TRUE LOVE.

I'd say lust or crush is definitely what happens at first sight, but love may grow out of that.

True love? or a lustful kind of love?  There is a difference.\n\nTrue love?  The world stops around you when you look into the eyes of the one you love.  No one else, nothing else seems important, but the connection that is you share with this person.  And you can feel it in thier eyes.  As if when they stare back into yours, that they are saying without speaking, "I adore you, respect you, desire you, admire  you".  True love is when you connect on a level that makes you want to do everything you can to make that person happy, and that they do the same in return.  It is a powerful feeling, when the world stops around the two of you.  You will know it.\n\nLustful kind of love is much different.  Its the feeling that omg I have to have that person, they are so very attractive, and that I think I am in love with them.  Its a false true love.

Ok, first, true love doesn't just happen.  But it does exist!  I think we fall in Lust too quickly, and that is why most relationships don't work out. \n\nI think that true love starts with a friendship.  Your lover must also BE your best friend.  One must bear in mind that as we get older, for alot of couples, the lust isn't there anymore.  Then what do you have?  If you have your best friend next to you until you are old and retired, you will at least have companionship, trust, love, respect and conversation, even when there is no longer the need or desire for sex.  There you go : True Love.\n\nFriendships are known to last the test of time, so surely this is in actual fact "True Love!"  So no  -  don't settle for lust because it won't last!  Settle for a best friend  -  and experience the meaning of True Love with your partner !  I think you may find that True Love and your Soul Mate walk hand in hand.

Lust is temporary, Love is eternal. When the body weakens and age leaves its footprints, lust can no longer work. And yet Love still remains young and glows like that eternal light.\n\nHistory has countless instances of Love lasting centuries. Shahjahan's love for his wife stands as Taj Mahal. \n\nIm sure you would have seen many couples 80+ but still married and loving each other as if they fell in love yesterday... \n\nYes, Love is onething which the evil hands of time cannot touch, let alone destroy.....\n\n.:Fishie:.

Love is more overriding than lust. If the above statement were true, then no man or woman would bear to stay together for so long. They would always be craving for new pleasures and would just be insatiable.

yes, love and lust are two different animals

It depends on your concept of love.\nIf it means that the guy really turns you on, then yes.\nIf it means as Scott Peck defines in his book "A Road Less Traveled" that love is an active comitment to the happiness and growth of another person....  then I don't think so.\nIf it means the heart knotted, passionate, head over heels crazyness described in paperback romances....   Sorry but that's a fantasy.

"Lust tingles, but Love lingers."\n-GMarieP\n\nAs humans, we are attracted to what we SEE first. So, it becomes natural for us to long for (lust) after a pretty face, a knock-out body, and beautiful features. Love comes after we know the person a little better.\n\nThose "electric shocks" or "warm flushes" you feel is Lust.\nThose "strong, deep & moving emotions" you feel is Love.\nI wish you an ample flow of both. (smile)\n\nGood Luck to you!

I don't believe it does. When you say you're "in-love" with someone, and it's based on appearance, it's infatuation. True love happens when you fall "in-love" with someone from the INSIDE out!

Yes.  For someone to fall in love with you simply requires a "voice" and a "personality."\n\nAria\n\n*The illnovelist*\n\nPS Don't confuse Love with Lust. Love is about the person as a whole: mind, body, and spirit. Lust is only about the physical appearance.

of course I believe in love.  and anyone who says no is just jaded due to a bad experience when things didn't work out.  love is a good & powerful thing for those who recognize it and appreciate it for what it is.  there are different kinds of love, the temporary kind (which is easily confused with lust) and the everlasting kind, that is rare and hard to find.  if you ever find true love, dont let it get away.
