A lot of it is speeded up sex. People jump into bed without even knowing each other's middle names if they know their first and last name and the relationships are based on the sex being hot enough. Love never enters the picture.

It still exists, it's just less common. Part of the whole gotta-have-it-now society we're becoming if you ask me.

Oh how I love this rep comment left by one of my adversaries here

I think most in general are clueless on love and confuse it with lust. The only love I know of is the type my grandparents on mom's side had. That is love that I don't see today and doubt I'll see much of in the future. My explanation is how I see it.

There's no such thing as true love.

Love is defined differently by different people.

I find it funny that people here describe love as a "feeling". Love is a choice, that we have to make day after day.

OP,

I do believe that true love exists, but you have to wait for it. In this world that we live in, it is hard to find men and women who actually know how to make a relationship work. Who actually want to sacrifice for each other and be kind to one another. To stay "for better or for worse, in sickness and health." Read 1 Cor. 13.

Bless you and I hope that you find the love that you seek.

Micky Dolenz of The Monkees said it best : Love is a verb.

I thought it was just me, but I agree with you. This is why I refuse to go on dates because I just don't know their intentions anymore. I'm not looking, but I think it's very interesting that Asian American men are more willing to be friends with the person they are interested in than other ethnicity that I've encounter. There are some that just don't care about being friends or whatnot, and that's when I dismiss them out of my life. I do believe that love is real, but I don't believe in the idea of "true love".

I think a problem these days is that people just go on dates without trying to get to know the other person first, they expect that to happen on the date. A huge problem when it comes to most men is, unfortunately, they do not know how to carry on a conversation. Guys, telling someone about yourself is NOT a conversation. You need to ask the female things about herself also, show that you're interested in her. This is why I am never quick to go on a date with someone I barely know. Take time, conversate on the phone, learn about each other to see if you're compatible, then go on a date. This will save you from a lot of wasted time and bad dates.

I saw your personals ad. I was gonna put in a marriage proposal, then saw "Brazil" and I was like forget it.

You coming to America? Are you into dark boys?

You should come to America. Two legal immigrants finding love. Lifetime can make a movie.

And yes, I am a God-fearing man. I confess every saturday for all my weekly misbehavior On second thought, boy. Man sounds kinda grossly mature
