Does love really exist the way they sing about it in all those sappy love songs or is it really just a fantasy? Think about it... Every girl dreams of finding that kind of love we hear about and when we finally think we've found it, our hearts just get ripped out.

Maybe both?
I always want to meet the guys from dashboard confessional or brand new...
or maybe I just want a guy to feel that way about me?

fantasy....

"i don't believe in love" by queensryche

both

To me, it is fantasy and only happen in the movies or those sappy songs

It can def happen... yes... yes it can

It can happen, however it is more rare than big foot sightings.

It is something that if you wish to hold out for, you need to prepare yourself to spend the rest of your life alone.

It is something that requires both parties to work really hard at every day!

I don't know.

Some of those songs were inspired by real love. So who knows... :]

Ruth is my fantasy

Fantasy. Everytime you start to think it could be a reality your heart gets ripped out of your chest.

First there are 3 different kinds of love: lust, attachment and companionship. Most likely you refer to the lust one also known and depicted in movies as the perfect "romantic love".

When a person visually matches your idea of perfect mate it releases body chemicals to get you all gaga and blind to any faults of that person. The body chemicals are similar to hard drugs and also cause similar withdrawal symptoms. This is natures trick to propagate humans without consideration if the couple actually lasts forever. Key phrases: "love at first sight", "crazy about a person", "love blind", "can't live without person x".

Feeling your heart getting ripped out is just a subjective perception. Nobody rips your heart out, but when an person you are not attracted to person rejects you, you could not care less. When a romantic interest does the same to you, you feel like dying. It is all in your head and after 18-36 months romantic love typically fades away. Without other kinds of love creating a bond replacing the initial romance it will not work any more.

Some people become addicted to romance and have to start new relationships continuously to get their fix. Hollywood shows romantic movies to get money out of romance addicts - if reality these movies would be called documentaries. Consider: if it was real and happening all the time, would one have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for actors? Rather you would see happy couples nonstop willing to share their happiness with the rest of the world until we get sick of "I love you so much".

Enjoy that good feeling "being in love" like recreational drugs: be aware of the side effects and expect reality to catch up with you some time.

Good answer.

I think it does, I also believe it takes a lot of work and the day that one quits working it will wither and fade away.

I perscribe a 6 month sex rule if you want to be sure your getting true love.

Its a fantasy
