is true love once in a lifetime?

I'd like to hear everyones thoughts on this. Do you agree that it is, or do you think it is possible to find love again?

I think it's possible to love again. I've seen people that have been married 40 and 50 years leave their spouses for another. They found another love. I'm 20 years old and am splitting with a man I've been with for 5 years. Is it impossible for me to love again? I'm young; surely I'll find someone to be up to his caliber, someone I can love just as deeply. Your first love or what you may call your soul mate is NOT the ONLY person out there that you would be compatible with you.

But is this because you have fallen out of love with a previous partner? What do you think about if you can't be with someone you love for any reason for example, if they die? Could you then love another, while still loving someone you can't have?

And I hope you're ok and coping with your breakup.

Yes, purple I think you can. People do it everyday. As hard as it may be it can happen. Some people don't want to let go and therefore can't let anyone else in. But if you are capable of coping with such an event you can love again once the pain is gone. In the same situation, if my fiancé (or ex) died would I be screwed at the whole love scene? No, I could date again; I could fall in love again. I think a big part of it is how you deal with it and if you are able to move on and start over. Again there are always other people you are compatible with. I do agree with Trina...regardless of what happened between you and your first love there will always be some thing in your heart for them. I will always love him and care for him. He could call on me 20 years from now for absolutely anything and I would be there for him, no questions asked. But there is life and love after them.

I'd have to disagree Lindz....can't believe it but I do. Obviously it was that CRAZY feeling kind of love being that she left your dad for him. You can find that again...

I agree with what Lindz has said...although you can love somebody again, i believe you only have one true love you just gotta find them first, but when you do you won't let them go.
People kid themselves when it comes to love, especially people my age (16) and give the other person everything, but when the relationship gets to its first hurdle they give up. I've been with my boyfriend for 16 months today and although we do argue, we always work through it and don't give up when the going gets tough. xxx

I can't see myself loving anybody else, though i'm sure i could.

Love is NOT spiritual, think of it on basic chemical and psychological basis and you'll see it in alot more of a clearer way.

Lindz...I guess it's a case by case basis then. Quite a few people in my family have remarried and love their new "toys" more than anything else.

i never thought of it like that jordan. I'm still not sure what I think, but if you can't, I'm screwedcause I'm only 16 and have lost someone I love

No it happends everyday when people least expect it to.In my opinon.

true love, i believe is once in a lifetime. sure you can find love again, but you can never love the same again.
