i hope so.. but i really don't think so considering that people nowadays are getting so practical that they prefer the materials things other than true love.. sad, but true!

yes i truly do believe that this love exists because there are still people out there who are looking for that special someone to share their life with. you can't help but fall in love with that person when he/she walks into your life. you don't find love, love finds you. people just have to be patient because in the end, you know it's worth. it's OH SO worth it! trust me..it does exist

That is very true my dear, yet so rare. People nowadays are getting so fake. The world today is being dominated by people with impure hearts and a mouth that speak a thousand lies. But despite of all these negative things, I still do believe that true love could still exist. And if you think you have it, you're indeed so lucky!

I still believe that it still exists despite of our modern times, there were people who still loves that way. I could say that what I got now is true love, I still love the man I met 10 years ago, we have gone through a lot of trials and tough times. But despite of all these things we still love each other. I let him watch the notebook, and told me he want to grew old with me and die that way, beside me...Im so thankful I found my true love...

I'm so impressed with your story. I'm glad that lovers like you and your man do exist in the real world. The kind of love you two have shared is really one-of-a-kind. Not all human beings are given the chance to find their one great and you should be thankful enough because it happened in you. Best wishes!

You know, I didn't believe it exsited until about 9 months ago. I was married to a man who was not nice to our children or me. I had been miserable for so long. I finally told him I wanted out. Last christmas, I went to a good friends house for a christmas party with my children. I met her husbands best friend. We talked all night long, I had never had a conversation like that in my life! he made me laugh, he played with my 3 children, and most of all, he listened to what I had to say also. We finaly got together a couple months later. I have never felt so safe, so loved, so RIGHT... EVER. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this man, I truly did find my "Noah".

Wow, that's great! Your story is really very nice, I haven't heard anything similar to this. I thought it only existed in novels or movies, but you're real. Thanks for sharing your story, I do appreciate it. And I know for sure that many would be stunned with your story. Old folks say that "it takes a broken heart to find true love" and I see your life as like that. You used to live a very miserable life and now, the best has finally come. I know your NOAH now is your reward for all the challenges you have surpassed. I wish the two of you luck! May you have the best of life and love:)

yes i do believe that true love exists even in our modern times. In the complexity of lifestyles or even in this fast-paced world, where everything seems to be instant..I mean, the somewhat near-extinction of love letters and romantic serenades, the emergence of fast tie-ups with SMS and chatting..where did love go? can romance be sped up too?.. Love is love..even if they say that it is just a word..but hey, if love and forever is just a word and is not worth believing..I do not know what else is worth believing.. It does not matter how you met or how fast it turned out to be..what really counts is really loving someone. It is not about finding the perfect guy/girl, it is striving to be perfect for the person you love..for love is like a dance perfected by time..it is not just about the laughter, it is about sharing tears and pain..it is not about seeing him or her fully dolled up and perfect and loving that image, but seeing the one you love at his/her worst..but still loving him/her even more ...then that is LOVE. love happened to me, and now we have a wonderful son..it can happen to you..or maybe you have that one in your life without realizing it.. ..till now..

I'm so glad to hear that you're one of those few who believe that love still exists in our modern times. I exactly know what you're trying to say. Based on the thought you've shared, I could sense that you're a person full of love. And I would definitely say that you are very lucky to be like that. I mean, it is a fact that we are living in a material world and most people are so untrue. Most people obviously became a victim of love and is really so scared of falling in-love again. That's why I say that those people who have felt true love are indeed so blessed.

Yes I definitely think that the love shared by Allie and Noah still exists today. In fact, I know a lot of couples who are faithful to each other until they both grow old. My friend's parents still hold hands while they walk, still has that 'look' when they gaze at each other and they even put food on each other's plate. Men and women though, should not look for their Allie or their Noah, instead, they should spend their lives helping others and when the right time comes, they will receive the right person for them.

Hello there driver_erning! I am so happy to hear your thought about this topic. At least there are still some people who see the brighter side of life despite the world's cruelties. I am also glad to know that there are still a lot of happy couples who exist. You know what, I really dreamed of spending the rest of my life with someone I love. How I would wanna grow old with that person. Yet it is reality that someone like Noah of Allie is so difficult to find. Well, I have this Noah of mine before. But I have lost him somehow. How I would wanna have him back but I guess it is already too late and impossible. Right now, I'm just simply living my life and of course, hopefully waiting for another Noah to come. --("v")-- to all the lovers out there, if you think you already have that someone, do your best to make him stay for the rest of your life. True love only comes once in a blue moon, so you better hang on!

I believe true love still exits nowadays but its very rare compare to what it use to be in the oldest time.some people now even if they love someone, but that someone won't be able to provide anything for his family chances are woman will look for other guy that could provide for thier children's needs.but I'm sure true love still exist today

I do agree with you. True love in modern times rarely exists. And if you happen to find one, you are so lucky. In my opinion, it is because our modern world today is already full of dishonest people who speaks a thousand lies.

of course! i believe that the kind of love shared by Allie & Noah could still exists in modern times. many people doubt about that because modern people are oftentimes insensitive and are too blind to see and appreciate the people that surrounds them. to all the lovers out there.. if you think you have found the right one, never ever let go for true love only comes once in a lifetime.

yes, i believe that true love still exists nowadays.i can see it to my cousin who's sent by her parents in Canada to pursue her education.her parents did that because they want her to be away from her boyfriend.it's good to say that when they met after 7 years, both of them still love each other. so, they decided to marry and live happily ever after.

Hello there my friend honeylou_blash! I do appreciate the love story you've shared. It is like fairy tale and it has honestly touched my heart. Both of them are so lucky to have each other in this cruel world. Because even if they were intentionally separated by their parents, their great love remained despite the distance and time. And most of all, I am so happy to know that the two of them still ended together. Their love story simply proves that distance and time is never a hindrance, what really matters the most is their great love for each other. Cheers!

Exactly! The movie itself was really worth watching. The time you've spent is so worthy. It does portray of a very true love. Which I think is very hard to find nowadays. Our world today is filled with fake people. If you've found that one great love of your life, then you are indeed so lucky. Because not everyone of us here in this world would be given the opportunity to be loved by the person whom we've chosen to love.

I would definitely hope that that love is possible. To be honest, sometimes I feel like I am experiencing something like this first hand. In the latter half of my senior year, I dated and fell in love. Our relationship lasted more than five months, without any problems. We did not argue whatsooever, our relationship was on a strong basis of friendship, and we could spend time with one another for hours. However, once we graduated from school, our relationship went downhill. He had been accepted to a college out of state, and we knew it was inevitably going to happen. Knowing that he would end up leaving anyway, we started arguing, and in the end he broke up with me because he could not see how it could work. Almost six months of us being broken up, I talk to him more than my best friend. We talk everyday, once or twice a day. Although he is in another relationship, we both have confessed to still feeling deeply for one another. He has told me he thought he still loved me, and I felt the same way. He still tells me to this day that he believes I was the best relationship he had, and we still find new things about each other in our conversations every single night. What's more, we both want it to happen once more; Once I finish college in 2009, I will be relocating where he will be enveloped in his own schooling. I like to hope that this is similar to that type of love. Separated based on circumstances, with a profound love still existing for one another despite him being in another relationship? It's one of those sagas I could continually explain. My main point is that I would think, I would hope that that kind of love exists; otherwise, what hope is there for people like me in the world?
