Recently, I've noticed that less and less people are really "falling in love". But why is this? Love comes in many forms; lustful love, mutual love, hateful love, familial love, friendly love, etc. For the most part, all of these forms of love are still present. So why does the phrase, "love is dead" even exist?
Whether you write it off as angsty teenagers wondering why they can't get a date or for people who want justification for why they're still single at 30. The phrase is there, open to interpretation. What do you think Offtopic? Do you think love is dead, or do you think it's still alive and kicking...just in a different form?
Is romance and chivalry a thing of the past?

No, my last names still here! :D

Nah, been with my lady friend for 17 almost 18 years. Have two kids and one on the way, and still happy to spend time with her everyday. Love her, the kids, dog (our first kid) and the rest of my family a ton.

Well me and my girl have been together about 4 years. We had a bit of a difficult past together before getting together. I'd had no problem talking to girls and dating girls but the problem with her was, she was something else to me. Something way more special than the rest. And that made it hard to talk to her. So much to the point that I had made her even think I hated her. And she's always been crazy for me and seemed really interested and was heart broken when she thought I hated her. So much to the point that she even slipped into a personal depression. It wasn't till nearly four years ago after going nearly a year without talking to her I finally got the courage to talk to her and tell her how I felt. While I was a shy nervous mess, Id never seen her eyes light up with such joy. Never seen such a beautiful smile from a persons face. She even started to cry a little tears of joy. And that made me happy. And to this day after being nearly two years out of high school and struggling on our own to live, we are still happy and I won't miss the opportunity to marry her too. I know this seems a bit corny to read like something out of a book but isn't that what real love is? Being literally head over heels for one another to the point that you'd over glorify your own love? Cause I don't know where i'd be today without her by my side. So in my opinion, love isn't dead. It's just some people try way to hard to find it while some never try hard enough. I believe everyone's got a soulmate. It's all up to fate on whether you find each other or not. Again sounds corny but that's my personal view on love.

Pursue happiness with diligence. - old
I think it's just getting harder to find. There's more people in the sea and our society breeds "fake" people. It's hard to find someone "real", as cliche as that sounds. I feel very fortunate to have found someone like that. -
I'v started to doubt in it, I'm better of alone.

[i]Let it never be said that romance is dead, since there's so little else occupying my head.[/i]

What is love?

Hallmark sure isn't.

simply exchanging holiday gifts with those you care about should be enough to remind everyone that love is still alive. My bro got me a turntable this year and trading gifts with him might be the closest, most honest love I've ever known. If you think love is dead you need to take [b]SERIOUS[/b] inventory on your life

It depends on the people. Once two people are together they have access to other males or females at their finger tips. People don't stay together because they don't have too. I feel as though once a relationship gets hard it's easy to run away. Before I feel like it was harder to separate than stay together. People like things to be new and exciting and relationships aren't always like that so they move on and sometimes two people just kinda like each other and it starts as "talking" and maybe becomes more but they don't truly love each other, it's just for the moment. Idk, their are many reasons
-
I don't believe in love.
-
No, but stupid people are the loudest and good people are the quiet ones. It's still happening, but nobody talks about it.
-
ROLE MODELS SUCK. PARENTS SUCK. PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH FEAR. LOVE NEEDS TO BE SHOWN. I CAN LOVE YOU.

Chivalry is just combat rules theres one part about respecting women but I for one challenge all women I meet to a joust

Women push for equality, but you cannot have equality and chivalry.

What is love?

This is basically true.

Edited by afanoflafear: 12/29/2015 1:21:55 AM[quote] lustful love[/quote]Oxymoron? lol The way I see it love hasn't and never will die, sure it might become more diffcult as we grow older and are faced with responsibilities, some more than others but it will always find a way: There was a time in my life when I reached my lowest and thought I would never be happy again but life sure proved me wrong, though things aren't and likely never will be as good as they used to, I've learned to appreciate the little things in life. The only question now is will I ever meet someone who's willing to spend their free time playing Halo 2 with me? You read it correctly, that's all I need to be happy.
