I think this is what the user means by self-fulfilling prophecy. If you engage in this pessimistic outlook that you will never find someone again - it is the kind of attitude that will assist in ensuring the prophecy comes true.

I have seen absolutely no reason to think that you can only fall in love once. Quite the opposite. The world is populated heavily by people it has happened to multiple times. Myself included. Not only did I lose the first girl I deeply loved to death when we were only 16 - I am now in a relationship with two girls and we all love each other deeply. I love neither of them "more" or "less" than the other - or "more" or "less" than the girl I lost 20 years ago.

And the world is populated by break ups who then fell in love again - the bereaved who moved on and found others. The hard evidence - in other words - simply does not fit with your view of the situation. There is simply no support for the premise that there is only one love out there for each person.

no, you can truly love multiple people, sometimes at the same time

why did your "one true love" end? obviously it wasnt your choice.

Come on it is just the beginning of the year,, be a bit positive will ya. Is there any point you regret now? If that was your true love then why he left with some one else? This is me I was married way young. Had a married life and now again single. I feel so free and happy. I enjoy my life it is short any way.Enjoy your freedom have fun follow a hobby. Don't be down Disney babe it is much better to be alone than with a man who is not meant to be with you.

Yeah, I know. There was one guy who I met 7 years ago who very well may have been my one true love, but I didn't get to know him and now he's gone so I'll never know.

As much as we try to dismiss the feelings and act like adults..........it still happens , the one that got away will haunt us forever ,right or wrong makes no difference

No, it can happen more than once, trust me.

However, if you continue to hold onto that ex and not be OPEN to new possibilities, then it may not happen. Just be positive and stay busy as others have said. Good luck!

Default True Love Only Happens Once?

Only in silly little girls fantasies.

Everyone I have ever loved has been true love. Why limit yourself to one?

There are way too many eligible singles in this world for there to be "only one"...so people have to leave the house, because no one will just come knock on your door.
