heart help: Do those love stories really exist? - Help.com

Yes.

No, there only storeys written for the lonely and desperate.
However, I like reading them too.

They definitely exist. People would not end up with broken hearts and shattered lives from less powerful affairs. There is a worldwide love epidemic, it has already crippled and disabled countless millions.

My great-grandparents had love like that, or at least, that is what everyone who knew them tells me. I’ve heard of other people having it too. I think that it is very very rare.

no

Love and religion are all in the mind; they do not exist in the real world, which is why we have dreamed up these delightful and idyllic concepts.

no, they are just romance

Okay, but Helen was the reason Troy fell and religion is one of the biggest causes of wars. These dreams have a basis in reality, or at least affect reality far too dramatically to be written off.

Only because humans have been brain washed into believing in fairy tales.
There is nothing wrong in believing in love.

yes and no
choose for yourself!!

Yes, but it does not usually happen early in life. Just stay true to yourself, be patient, and don’t go out expecting to find love around every corner. Instead, love will find you when you’re least expecting it. And don’t listen to the haters. They don’t know it yet, but love will find them too.

Some people believe in it, some people don’t. There’s only one way to find out…… ;)

No. What you described is called infatuation, and it wears off pretty quickly.

I agree. There is an evolution to romance. Some people can become addicted to the hot and heavy early stages and keep jumping from one relationship to another whenever things cool down.

But cooling down can move into something deeper, richer, more sustainable if you are devoted to each other.

And, of course, “Romantic” is an active state of mind.
