I am 28 years old (I know people will probably say I am still "young," but I feel like I may never find true love, as I never find anyone who blows me away.
So to everyone reading this....do you believe in true love? That love where you are totally blown away by someone and feel crazy sparks? I know Hollywood tend to make it look so much more fairytale like, but I was wondering if anyone has actually experienced amazing love.

Yes, NewInTown, I do.
I've experienced it a couple times.
Hopefully, you will too. ;D
But I will say, "true love" is a biochemical brain reaction addiction to another person. Once the "fog of love" subsides in about 3 years, hopefully you've got a wonderful partner that you can still be very happy with.
I believe that true love is when you know the other person's flaws and they know your flaws and you would both rather work it out worth each other than giving up on each other.

Love is completely different than a movie or romance book version. True love is how will that person treat you on your worst day. When people are tested how do they react and how does your relationship deal with it. Go through a job loss, a death, a bankruptcy, some other difficult time and you’ll know if it’s true or not.
Bodie Miller and his wife will get going through it right now.

People are different. I'm a very level person and actually tend toward depression, if anything. So love for me is not some dizzying, manic-y thing - and frankly I'd probably not enjoy it if it was. I think love can be what you allow it to be - if you allow yourself to go crazy then you will - even though she might not really be all that great. In other words, don't let your expectations color reality too much.
Does love have to be crazy to actually be love? Not in my book - or at least, not for an extended period before it deepens into something much steadier and comfortable while still being fun.
I’ve had tons of 3-5 months long relationships where I thought I was in love.. turns out I lost a lot of feeling for them once the honeymoon phase ends.
My girl now isn’t nearly as attractive as women I used to date. I used to only go for looks. Shes attractive to me and an amazing person with great qualities. We’ve been together a few years and life is good. I’ll work for relationship and so does she. Sure, we argue from time to time and don’t agree on some things. We don’t even enjoy each other’s hobbies! But we’re both open books and always speak about the future.
What exactly is true love? What OP described sounds like the Honeymoon phase.
