Is it possible to find true love?

I've been watching Once Upon a Time, and they talk alot about true love. I've experienced teenage love, but my boyfriend cheated on me several times. I ended up being a teenage mom also. I've moved away and have been single for about 10yrs. I'm 34 now, and wonder if I'll ever find true love. I'm hoping that once I have the sleeve, I'll lose weight and be more "desirable." Though, I really want someone to love me for me, thick or thin? Where are guys out there like that, if any? Tired of being single.

I found it. This one is stuck with me- and I'm stuck with him. Hell- his mom told me even if we split up- she's claiming me. I got married and divorced young. I was in love with the idea of being in love. Now- I can't imagine my life without who I am with now. We compliment each other in every aspect- and have the best communication I could ever ask for. And I met him at my highest weight. He loves me for me- not for my awesome body.. (why oh why is there not a sarcasm font?!). You will find someone when you least expect it!

Thank you.

Get out and become more social. Church' date=' community activities, etc. you said you work and come home only to go out and shop so that is why you are not meeting anyone your not making yourself available. Remember go places where the kind of man you are looking for might be: book clubs, art gallery, enrichment place such as museums and so forth.[/quote']

Good idea. I do need to get out more. I really need to work on going out alone. If I'm out socially, its usually with friends.

I dont think there is such a thing as true love...Maybe lust?

I'm still waiting on my prince charming.... STILL WAITING.

WTF is taking so long ;)

Well Im 3yrs out of a 10yr relationship, I hope 2 find love again with a side order of LUST. I know I LOVE myself, Ive loved myself even when I was over 300 lbs. Ive been dating and I turn alot of heads with this new body and haircut. The only problem Im finding is that Im 44 with a 2yr old toddler Lol. But Im not given up on finding Love and my soul mate.

I don't mean mean to be negative but I truly am having doubts about true love, that's just me though

Fishy, I understand. There were guys that I wouldn't normally chose. There was one guy I exchanged messages with and then all of a sudden nothing. Just no true connections. Trust me they were not viable options. Though I get what you're saying.

I def think I was overlooked.

I married my soul mate when I was 16, and Dec 29 we will Celebrate 32 years together! I love him more today than the day I said "I Do", I thank God for putting us together everyday! True love still happens.

I agree with Gaye , I also found my soulmate/true love when I was 14 & at 100 lbs ..... he loved me then and still loved me at 230 .... In october we just celebrated our 23rd anniversary ...... its out there ladies , dont give up , we are all so very worth it

Here is my take on truelove. I think our definition of love changes over time. I don't think I'll ever have the same feelings of love that I had when I was 16. I spent many many years trying to find those same feelings again without any success. I now realize that it 16 everything is new and fresh and exciting. As we get older and our worldview changes The way we understand and incorporate love in our life changes as well. I did the online dating thing way back in the day when it was still something that you didn't tell anyone you were doing. I too found that almost everyone I met seem to be hiding something. When I took a break from the online dating I realized that the true love of my life with someone that is known for quite a while but never looked that way. We have now been happily dating for 15 years and it couldn't be better. He has seen me at my skinniest, seen me through my diagnosis of MS, and even now see me through my weight-loss surgery. We are not married and currently don't have any plans to be married. Things work well for us the way they are now. This is just my two cents on the truelove thread...thanks!

Sleeved 12/17/12 and enjoying the adventure!
