Do you believe that Extraordinary Love Exists?

Ok, here’s the thing, I have never been one to need a boyfriend, and actually, I never had one. But, I do find myself really affected deeply by stories of extraordinary love, especially on tv shows and stuff. I know that stuff is written, but it’s coming from real people, so I think it must exist. I believe in holding out for that person who is perfect, I’m not talking perfect in the way of how they look, that is a small part of it, but it’s more… extraordinary for me would be a guy who was sensitive, caring, smart, funny, successful, similar taste in music, not too aggressive, and yes of course, attractive to me (although I am also not attracted to the conventional examples of good looking guys, ie. Brad Pitt look-alikes are not my thing. LOL.. But, that would be another post. LOL) Someone who could accept me for who I am and not leave as soon as something went wrong. I do feel like I would want a bit of a protector, someone I could just share all my worries and feelings with, and who would just cuddle when life got really too much to deal with. I feel like maybe I won’t find this one person until I am ready, and for me, I feel like that’s when I have made myself good enough for someone so perfect, both inside and out, but that process can be so hard, especially when you aren’t sure what the future holds. It’s scary. I have a feeling this is actually a long way of describing a soul mate of sorts, but anyway, I just wanted to hear if others believe in extraordinary love, and if that is what you are looking for, or if you are with someone, or even married, are they “that one”, your soul mate, or do you not believe in that?

I am a total addict to love stories and want to believe real loves exists, but its hard having never really experienced it. Although i did make the mistake of falling in love with a guy i was seeing and him not returning it. That was painful let me tell ya. I kinda of given up on looking for it though.

I wish i was smart enough to wait like i am now after that relationship ended, but no i went from guy to guy trying to find love again. Did not work at all. So now i am just trying to be me and hope a guy will love me for me. I have only watched a few episodes of grey's anatomy and thats when my best friend made me but i understand the concept of what you are talking about that happens on that show.

yep i married my soul mate.. he isnt PERFECT but close to it.. lol.. i would go crazy if i was with some one perfect anyways.. and yeah i dont think regular sterotypes in hollywood are hot.. i have a thing for more about personalities.. anyways he will come just dont worry about it.. people that worry tend to chase guys away because the chic will start talking about marriage and babies within the first month of going out lol.. but yeah true love exist and people may think it doesnt just because they expect it to really close to romance novels etc.. where some times you realize true love exist because you stayed together and still love eachother even though your life has gone to hell and back

LOL aww.. that's great! LOL well, yea, nobody is really perfect.. but they can be close, like you said. oh yea, LOL I would never be one of those girls talking about babies and marriage right away.. I'm so not ready for that, I think I'd either need to have a few boyfriends or one boyfriend who was really serious who turned out to be the *one*, since as far as boyfriends go I have less experience than most 13 year olds these days.

hey there, to start of,I think I am your exact opposite,I had quite experiences that I can say both good and bad. lol,geez..but I am an addict of feel good love stories when I was young. I love reading novels about love and fantasy, u know like Cinderella searching for his prince and would marry and be merry someday..pathetic I thought when I grew up. After all the broken relationships I 've had, I thought real love doesn't exist and that there is no love. But I didn't quit, yes, this pig headed girl fell in love again..lol..and I guess the books were right, there IS real love, an extra ordinary love. I don't wana say it's happening to me, well, we're not married yet and we've not yet stayed for 50 years..lol..but u know the feeling of being comfortable with eachother, someone u treat not only ur partner but ur bestfriend, ur buddy and well someone u always look forward to kissing every morning..ahahahha, omg! I sounded awful! but honestly... We all have "the one" he's just there, don't get me wrong, he's not perfectu..but you both can make each other perfect. soulmate doesn't exist, a person can create him/her. well, these are just my thoughts, happy mylotting!

There is a million people compatible for each person. I don't really believe in soul mates, but I do believe in extraordinary love! My boyfriend is amazing, we met on a language learning site a while ago and got together for a month this year; I plan to go there for Christmas. I am usually a cynic when it comes to internet dating, but we did not have the intention to fall in love with anyone when we were online. Maybe I should just be cynical of dating sites. The best love is unexpected!
