Is there such as thing as true love out there ?

Maybe it's because I've been just listening to The Universal by Blur on a continuous loop for the past hour, but lately I've been wondering if I will, if ever, find true love in this life time. Life is too short as we all know and yet, sometimes, you wonder if maybe there is too little or too much to do in the short amount of time we have, and one of the MAJOR things we all want to experience is true love with that special someone.
I used to be a strong believer in meeting THE ONE. But, as I get older and the more times I get stabbed in the back by those around me, the less and less it seems that I can find that special someone to make me happy and make me feel special. Or maybe I already have met that person and just let them slip by without me even knowing it. They could have walked right by me in the street and I would not have known, or sat next to me on the bus or train on the way to work.
Universe may be random, but sometimes it can really make you think how fucked up it all is. Oh well :wink:

It's out there, but can be a real bitch to find. It took 15 years for mine to finally get it.

You'll find it, just stay upbeat and confident and it will come to you before you know it.
 
There's a Scottish saying "Wit's fir yea willnae gae past yea." Translated it says "What's for you will not go past you."
There's another train of though that says that you have to go through lots of shitty relationships so that when you do find THE ONE, you know the difference.
You're only 24, it's far too early to be giving up on Love (infact, it's always too early to be giving up). Just like the TV remote, you'll find it in the most unexpected places.

Define LOTS, I tend to be a serial monagamist. I had one relationship that lasted 12 years!
You're only 24, it's far too early to be giving up on Love (infact, it's always too early to be giving up). Bullshit! I'm 41 and I'm pretty much ready to hang out the spinster placard. Just like the TV remote, you'll find it in the most unexpected places. Pffftt., sorry to sound so bitter but I'm getting tired of making the effort, being open to new experiences; and situations only to end up alone... again, when the whole damned world is paired off.:mad::frown1:
 
NJQT, I know exactly how you feel and it's why I took a couple years off from seeking serious relationships. At one point I was beginning to think the reason I hadn't found a suitable partner was because I wasn't good relationship material. I knew I badly needed some interior remodeling in a few places so I set aside some time to reflect, make decisions, and take action.

The day arrived when I knew I was ready. I armed myself with a positive attitude and focused on my life as a whole rather than bits and pieces.

Time passed. Crickets chirped. Where were all these people I was supposed to be meeting when I was ready? I wanted to curse the self-help/relationship gurus I saw on TV and bookstores everywhere but I knew I needed to be patient. No point in wasting time lamenting what you don't have at the moment; might as well be grateful for the good things in your life, right? Not the easiest conclusion to arrive for someone who's been married twice.

If you know what you want, why you want it, are open-minded and patient, you'll find that person. There may be a waiting period but when you find the person you're ready to meet, it's worth the pain and frustration due to the wait.
 
I think there is no such thing as THE ONE. Everyone is not perfect and made-to-order. If you EVER find THE ONE you actually do like, then, that doesn't mean he will be totally right. People are also sophisticated. And they do change...evolve.

I think that in a fantasy sense, you can dream about the ideals of finding perfect peeps...but in the real world you don't know how much of the real world they have in them.

Someone created love as a social joke. You meet someone special and then they grow apart from you are no longer special.
