I lost a husband at 40, and am remarried now.... so if there were "one" true love I would have to pick. That will not happen. I love(d) them both for very different reasons.
It's like kids, it's not like you have the third and it's "aw heck, I ran out of love on the first two..."

It depends on the type of love. Love for people, friends and the type of love I'd have for a family member. The type of love that would have you lay down your life for another, I'll always have that.
Romantic Love... I feel I have enough for probably one more go round. Then it is done.
The closest person I have to my one true love is just a friend. We did not end up together. While we do consider each other good friends, we will always have that kind of relationship.

But that is a choice, you have decided love is not worth it for you. If you change your mind, it is still there.

I'm watching the film ' evening ' and it's about a dying woman reflecting on and having flashbacks of her one true love.It got me thinking about whether people feel they met their one true love? Or did you have a range of loves and none really seemed exceptional? or were they all exceptional and none really stands out as better than another? Or did you have one really pivotal love that when you're dying that's who you will be thinking of.
It is hard to tell if you are still living.
I get back to you on my death bed .

Agree with this 100%.
I think the idea that you were only meant to be with one person is not truthful.
If you lose someone for whatever reason and choose to shut down other future options you are never going to know what the future could hold because you have made that choice to block out other possibilities.

Disagreed.
You choose your feelings?

Love builds on itself.
What was love when you were a teenager, isn't love when you're in your 20's.
What was love in your 20's isn't love in your 30's.
Etc...
Love is something new that you haven't experienced before.
That might be with one person you keep finding something new to be enamored with
Or it might be with someone new
But that is a choice, you have decided love is not worth it for you. If you change your mind, it is still there.
Romance is not Love.
Real love is lasting. The high, and the buzz that people call love, isn't love.
Real love is more like... I love my family. I love my best friends. If they were in trouble and needed me and I could be there, I will be there. I'd lay down my life for their's. That to me is real love.
I've had that high that people associate with love and I'm not rational when that occurs. I've been stalked by people that "loved" me... Talk about a nightmare.
For me, the feeling of love changes with time. I thought I had a few true love in my life, but looking back, they don’t seem like a true love for me now.
Like TJenkin said, only true love that I’m sure of are my love for my child and my immediate family (dad, siblings). No matter what they do and say, I still love them unconditionally.

I'm not talking about infatuation, lust or romance. I love my husband. All the the beginning butterflies and stuff are mostly gone, to be replaced by a surety, comfort, a deep love.... hard to put into words. We are best friends, lovers, confidants, and family.
I think it is unfair to say "if it doesn't last, it is not love", people change, priorities change and love can fade with time.
