They say that true love waits. Others also say that true love is found. So,when can we say that we have to find love and when can we say that we just have to wait for it to come? Quite confusing, isn't it?

I think true love is waited. You get the best when you are patient and have faith. Ofcourse efforts need to be put in to find out the lucky one, but at the same time it should be taken care of that the efforts don't go beyond a point were disappointment starts to settle in.

Both. You have to be open to looking for a mate. But at the same time, be waiting for the right person. If you only wait, without looking, you may never see a good mate, and wait forever. If you only look, but refuse to wait, the first person to walk by, you'll think you are in love, even if they are not a very good person. Then you'll make a mistake. It takes both, and the balance between them is difficult.

I think true love is found when I first met my husband I new right away I was going to marry him...and yes a year later we were married...unfortunately after 16 years[ and 4 children] we divorced...so... maybe is better to wait?

Not at all. True love can be both, either found, either waited. There is only one thing which is not confunsing. That when the one that was destined to belong to your kisses and dreams lies in your arms, you'll just feel it. I mean feel it with each cell of your body, with all your senses, even with your soul. Then and only then, you'll see/realize that love (either found, waited, etc) is nothing but intensity giving sense to each and single of our searches.

It's a little of both. True love gets together somehow but don't make it hard. If you stay in the house and never get out around people, you are making it hard. Sometimes true love comes packaged funny. If you demand perfection, you are making things hard. If you have been hurt in the past and are not open for love, you are making it hard. Finally, true love has no timetable. Some do not find it until later in life.Keep your eyes open. True love tends to show up when you least expect it.

I the way that our society looks at "true love" is flawed. This is in part from all the disney movies we have seen as a kid. People think this charming man or woman just comes along and sweeps you off your feet and that its perfection! But this is a myth of true love. Love takes a lot of hard work and dedication that is not openly portrayed in most of those disney movies or even movies we watch everyday. I believe that true love can be found and that sometimes it just takes a little longer for certain people to find it. Love can be blind at times, so this is why. :)

hi hunterkim, I agree with you that it is quite confusing. But for me,If you are going to observe,analyze or realize based on experiences, When we have open new doors for acquaintances, we are about to talk about finding possibilities searching or having someone special for us. And as time goes by having good foundation of growing relationship, we tend to feel something extraordinary that make us feel important and be loved by the person who accepted us totally.. and [b]sooner will be felt as true love and realized as found one true love. [/b] In my own personal view, love do come in different forms, mostly true love happens when you are not expecting it and you have felt something you cannot explain within yourself.. With the special person you have, you feel secured and willing to adjust being the best person you can. It is true that true love really waits, it tests the whole relationship process of each couple like patience, understanding and affectionate love by both that given in under several unwanted circumstances in their own lives, they still manage to agree with a single decision that no one can break them apart.. Whatever trials one has, both of them shares, whatever weakness one has, the other strengthens, whatever illness one has, the other cares and lastly, whatever one has lackness with, the other one fills it.. That is basically you what I can say, " TRUE LOVE HAS FOUND" Happy mylotting

Well one thing i can say for sure that we can't force true love.So when it has to happen it will happen then Only.It is a natural feeling and it starts from infatuation and later when it continues to be for a period then i think it matures into true love.We can call only that relation True love that is tried and tested.True love is not going to fall from heaven but i feel we have to work for it,to convert a ordinary relationship into true love.

I think we just have to wait for it to come because god has created a partner for everyone who gives true love so you only need to wait for it.

Hi. For me, i think love will find its way the least you expect it to come. you'll never know when and how it will all start.. you will just feel it the moment love hits your heart!.. and when it comes, don't ever let it go.. for you will never find it again or you may lose it anytime..

Maybe a little of both? In my experience when I was desperately searching for it, I never came close. I'd tried even convincing myself what I had was true love. But it wasn't. It always ended badly. It wasn't until I decided to try being alone for a while that I found "the one." I decided I didn't need anyone and learned to be happy on my own. That's when he and love found me. Of course at that point, I didn't just sit around and wait for love to happen with us. I didn't want to miss out and have him think I wasn't interested. We worked hard to build this relationship. And it's my most fulfilling relationship I've ever been in. I just had to wait for the right time and the right person.

we all have different love stories and there are people who waited and there are people who found. mine was i was never looking nor waiting but it came in an unexpected situation. i was happy being single and just having fun at work, then we needed an additional singer for our band and a few auditioned. to make a long story short i am 7 years married already to the singer who auditioned for our group.

well this is the way i think of it if your one of those who likes to stand out and be the center of attention like me then love is found for sure but if your one of those people who like to lay low and not do anything to stand out then yea your gonna be the person who waits to find that special someone well this is just my thoughts on your question not sure if it is a good answer or not just telling you off the top of my mind what i think about your question have a good day now

There is no right or wrong with this question. Wait or find is just a kind of active or passive. No matter which method you adopt, you are just 'waiting' for the right person to appear. There are so many factors affecting love. How do you define true love? Is it a personality, appearance or just a person who will hanging around in your life?

It depends. If you just wait for it and it didn't come then it's your loss so it's better to look for it. But if you waited for it and it came then i guess true love is waited on.

two hearts beat as one - great shot man made heart
i guess,true love will find its way on its own. maybe its like destiny, no matter how you wait or find, it will come to you. it just a matter of time! some may say,you are doing your own destiny, some may say,don't believe in horoscopes in the end,you'll just know it when true love comes. just enjoy your life,have fun and express yourself. maybe your dream guy/girl is just out there, watching over you!
