Yes four times.
I don't believe ONE greatest love.

What happened to those who lost their loved ones to premature death when they were very young? Should we all kill ourselves and follow our loved ones? give me a break. I lost my great love to premature death, and his great love taught me to make it on my own because that is exactly what he wanted for me. He would want me to find another great love, getting married, have kids and be happy.

don't give up. You will find somebody you truly love.

I think finding your true love is rare, and those who found it should consider themselves really lucky. That's for a few people.

If you found yours, how did you meet? Tell your story.
We found each other quite by accident.

Here's the thing...give up looking!!! You don't find your "true love" that way and it only ends up frustrating you!

Just live your life to the fullest - be active, be involved, be OPEN to all new experiences - THAT is how you will stumble across the one for you

One's "true love" is made, not found. Upon the point of initial finding, there's no particular love, and likely even paucity of truth. But crusty surface abrade, in time so joining that a truth arises. Years pass, and after much self-question and duress, we come to wonder how we ever managed without our partner, and even persons skeptical of supernatural intervention become wont to wonder if some cosmic force wasn't involved in the finding. It wasn't. The effort was all ours.

I have, it was a chance meeting out of the blue over 30 years ago so finding the love of your life can happen when you least expect it.

There is a man that I met many years ago who I loved very much. I would certainly call him the love of my life. Unfortunately, it was not to be and for a very long time I agonized about it.

Recently, through a unexpected turn of events I saw some photos of him (he still looks great, by the way, 30 years later), but I realized from those pictures that it would not have worked out for us. In a way I was grateful because it gave me the freedom from the pain of the memories. I really did love him a lot though, more than I have ever loved anyone else.

He was my then-best friend's brother.

I've been in love several times but for various reasons, it didn't work out. Sometimes love just isn't enough.

Yes, though we are not currently "together", connected eternally.. It's just one of those tragic love stories that takes a lifetime to play out... Not everyone's definition or experience of true love is the same. For some, it's their wife or husband, perfect marital bliss and that's great.. For others, like me, it is in the bittersweet & beautiful agony of absence..But they are all one in the same, and there is really something quite magical about it. A certain space in your heart that no one else can touch but that person..

True love- when I have a nice glass of wine on a full moon day sitting out side and counting stars I feel like I found my true love above up there in between stars.
