A guy I graduted with from High School posted a Blog on one of my other sites with the same subject. Asking if love is real and talked about how easily people fall in and out of love. I didn't know how to respond to him. Although he had some good points of people who had arranged marriages and people who stayed together to have someone, I've always looked for the person that I had a deep attraction and who could be my best friend. Most of the time, the deep attraction was blindin me to think it was love but I didn't have that person who would be my best friend.
I look at my parents. They were friends with eachother prior to dating and getting married. Their first marriages fell apart for different reasons and found eachother in the end. Although they have their separate things, they do things together. They have their date day. Going to ball games, dinners, movies, or whatever they want to do (or what my dad plans for them to do). I wouldn't say their communication is the best out there but they talk daily about the important things that are going on.. in between going to their jobs.
In a small part, that is what I am looking for but a little different. Currently, I am dating a guy that makes me smile and laugh when we are together and sad when we are apart. Although we do have our time apart, I look forward more to our time together. I want to know all the good, the bad, and the ulgy of his life or things he has been through. I want to share every moment that I can with him. Although, currently, the idea of having kids makes him cringe, I would love to have 1 (maybe 2) with him. (sorry baby!) He is a wonderful man with a big heart to those close to him.
So the question is.. Is Love Real? Well, if your description of love is those people who you care deeply about, would do anything for, and look forward to every moment together... then I know that Love is real! It's like the song goes..
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
