How do I know when it's true love?


I thought that I was in love in the past, and was mistaken. I don’t understand how I could have been so wrong at the time. How do I know when it’s true love?

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


Don't blame yourself, as you know love blinds people.... when you are in love you see what you want to see and not the reality.  So it could happend that you were blind to see the truth and your partner took advantage of that.  It happends more often than you would think.... Please: Don't loose your self esteem, don't loose your faith in being able to judge the situation, keep on believing in your intuition..... you failed once, that means nothing..... Tomas Edisson failed 700 times B4 he managed to invent the electric lights..... Make a clear "detete", raise your head and with all your confidence go full steam ahead to find your one and only..... My intuition says you are a "high quality young lady" and will soon find what you deserve. 
I wish you the best of luck,

Respect all Dudes and Dudettes....

Yo Lookin;  Been married for 45 years..Raised 4 kids....We are still on our honeymoon....Why?? Before we ever married we both hated arguments..We have debates and mild arguments...Many times it is so trivial, we let the other have their way...It does not hurt to let the spouse,friend,etc have their way..We decuss, and end it with a "Ah your goofy", no way...Before we married, we looked for each others faults....The secret was that we both are not selfish...We always want to please the other in every aspect of our lives..Money is a bad item to argue over, and can lead to serious problems in the future....Again ,we don't argue over money.....Somehow,  it worked itself out..Know the person you are going with, before you fall in love...My wife and I are very lucky...Most important, the person must absolutley be your best friend..You must feel that this friend is the one person you want to share and enjoy all experiences with, above all others....The friend must feel exactly the same way.....When you both feel this, your probably in love..No selfishness....No money arguments...When one is feeling down, then go to bed, and wake up happier..Chalk this love up as an experience of life and carry on.......Best of Luck.....Best Regards........MarqUSMC

I don't believe in true love, I think that putting the responsibility on destiny  or the universe is not a good idea. I think that different people are good for us in different time in our lives, and that once we are ready, choosing a good and matching person to live with and love is very important part of our happiness.

I'm incredibly romantic and did massive amount of changes in my life for the sake of love, I truly believe that it's the most important part in my life, However just because i had relationships in the past that ended doesn't meed "i got it wrong" or that "I messed it up". It just that what worked at one point stopped working in another. 

I don't think true love is something we find, I think it's something we create, by putting time and effort and attention into a person we chose to be with.  without working at it, the initial attraction and beginning falling in love feeling will go away entirely, leaving us with that "but what went wrong" feeling. It's funny how we accept maintenances and change in almost every other field in our lives (like our body or our car or the house we live in) but expect love to stay the same and perfect all the time.

MY inferiority complex isn't as good as YOURS

I agree with Lilly 100%.I don't believe in soul-mates,and I've been hurt so many times,but I still believe in love.When I can't get the guy outta my head no matter what I do,and thinking of kissing him sends shivers up and down my body,I know I'm infatuated.When I look around at the world,and it seems a little friendlier and brighter just because he exists in it,I know I'm in love.
