There's something I don't really understand about the whole love thing.?

Question

Does love only last as long as the relationship?

And what's your opinion on romantic relationships and romantic love? Becuase I think it's embarrassing and kind of silly and I'm just wondering if there are any other teens (girls especially) who feel the same way as me.

Answer 1

I think real love lasts for a lifetime.  I mean, you can't just turn it off as soon as you break up like it's nothing.

I think those kinds of love are so fake.

Soo yeaa. <33

Answer 2

ok i think this:

theres a difference between being romantic and love.

romantic is the cute feeling that somebody gives you in a s**y adorable way.

love: you can love someone as long as a relationship.

but true love, that lasts forever.  

Answer 3

its kinda strange, and i think love is a serious thing so it comes once or twice, relationships are kinda crayz becuase its kinda like walking in the dark, you never know what is there.

Answer 4

i know. some times it hard to tell if its just a crush thing and so are 'together' or if its actually in love

Answer 5

love lasts as long as you want it to (L).

the most successful thing a person can to is love and be loved in return .. x

Answer 6

It depends on the relationship. In some relationships, its over while a person will still have feelings for the other person. You have heard of people stalking someone because they are still in love with that person.

And relationships last too long sometimes. People may stay in a relationship even after they stop loving the other person because of kids, money, obligation, etc...

Romantic relationships may be silly until you've experienced it. However, some things can be cheesy no matter how much two people are in love. Some people can just take it over the top and cross the line from romantic to just plain corny, creepy, or stupid.

Answer 7

love lasts forever.

i think they are great. but they aren't for everybody!

like at the moment i just want to be single. but my feelings will change. yours probaly will to

Answer 8

Love lasts a lifetime, I lost my High school sweetheart in a work accident after we got engaged, and I still love him even now that I am much older and am with someone new whom I love more than life itself, what I can tell you is you can love someone without being with them with time because you learn to be with or without them, its really a learning experience to tell you the truth. Relationships come and go but your heart can stay there, you just learn to live and move on. I may not be a teen anymore, but I sure do think like one. Chapters open and close in your life, but that is what they are, and remain the same as memories that you learn from, and help shape new chapters that you haven't yet faced. So Good luck on those chapters and always think things thru! Love is something so beautiful and romantic love is the best because it has the romanticized relationship if it is right to be with that significant other. Romantic relationships are just you wanting to be in love, and be loved so be careful.  

Answer 9

If youre actually in love, it will always last ( :

Answer 10

love definitely doesn't last as long as the relationship. you can love someone, and they could break off the relationship. if it's true love, you wouldn't be able to get over him/her that fast.

romantic relationships are great. i feel that i'm in love with my boyfriend right now, although i do get a little shy saying "i love you" in front of other people. some people don't understand, so they laugh.  

Answer 11

You sure you want the truth?  Love as the movies and music give it to you is a myth.  Human love has flaws.  Human beings are more into novelty these days.  Everyone gets that infatuation thing going during the start of a relationship.  But, the white picket fence soon falls, and reality sets in with reason.  True love is not what people believe.  True love is sacrificing your happiness for another.  Letting go of your life to make another person happy.  Only God is truly love.  Took me thiry-five years to realize that.  Love is pure.  Real love lasts forever.  Human love never lasts forever.  In the end, I found out that only Jesus will love me when I have nothing, and I have lost everything.  Only Jesus is selfless love.  No person wants you on this earth if you have nothing to offer them.  If you're rich, you can buy a beautiful woman.  If you're beautiful, you can hook up with a wealthy person.  Still, you must always have something to exchange for the other in some form or fashion.  Life is not fair.  We are in a fallen state.

Answer 12

love is hard to understand...it is hard to define. I thought I was madly in love when I was in high school. I met him when I was 16 and we dated for 3 wild years. we  were like siamese twins. we spent every moment we could together. we were hot for each other and the s*x was pretty darn good. we were engaged for 2 of those years. BUT he cheated on me, I cheated on him (twice), he tried to manipulate me and change me. When I think back about our final breakup I realize that he had been seeing someone else for 2-4 weeks before we broke up. I resolved after he told me that he had met someone else that we would not get back together. Even when this big man sat on my floor and CRIED about how much he missed me I stood my ground.

After our breakup I dated a few other guys...including a divorced man 6 years my senior. By accident I met a friend of a friend's friend at a nightclub. We seemed to click that night. he was so polite and did not have wandering hands. we were together until the club closed that night. He took me to breakfast, drove me home THEN kissed me for the first time and asked for my number. That was 13 years ago...our oldest is 12, our middle child is 8, we have been married 7 years, and our baby is almost 3. the s*x was much hotter before we had kids, and he isn't the best kisser...but he cares so much about me. When I am sick he can't eat because he is worried. When he feels a seizure coming on he wants me to be there to hold his hand. and he even kissed me on the mouth  (with tongue) after I threw up during delivery of our youngest!!  That is the kind of stuff true love is made of. I once read somewhere that true love means feeling comfortable farting around the other person LOL. The other day I went to use my deodorant and found a single HUGE pit hair on it. I picked it off and when HUbby came home I sweetly kissed him and said "honey, I really don't mind if you wanna be cucumber fresh, but could you pick off your own pit hairs?" . He laughed, kissed me back and said "I try. Are you sure it isn't yours?" and poked my smoothly shaved pit.

Does this give you a little bit of an idea?love isn't lust...it isn't need...it is comfortable like a really broken in pair of jeans.  

Answer 13

I'm confused as well.. lol

Answer 14

No you can love someone after the relationship is over, but loving someone does not mean it's a healthy relationship to be in.  You have to love yourself enough to know when it's time to leave, even if you still love that person!!  There is nothing better than a romantic loving relationship.  You'll understand in a few years!!

Answer 15

no heck no haha

when you are with someone you really love

you love them for awhile

sometimes romance is cool, but i'm a fan of the single life

and it's by choice haha

Answer 16

Well, i believe love can fade.

and it is kind of silly when your young.  

Answer 17

I'm curious too.

Interesting questions ;)

Oh and idk. I think only a few people are lucky enough to have that long lasting 'The Notebook' type love where they're married for 80 years.

Answer 18

For me true love lasts a life time.  I fell in love when i was 18 years old(I am now 30).  I am still in love with the man.  We are not together and i havnt seen him in many many years.  We talk a lot though mostly by internet, sometimes by phone.  Every time i get a message or email or call from him I get that "feeling"!  He is married now to someone else due to my stupidness, and I would never come inbetween that. Maybe in another life i wont be so stupid!!  :)  hope this helps, good luck and God bless.
