 I know there's no logical reason to believe this, but yes, I think there is only one special person. However, I don’t necessarily think you have to find that person to be entirely happy.

Aw i do believe there is only one true love! and can i go a Lil further and tell my story! i remember one day at a time in my life! wasn't going so well and i was out on a deck by the river found myself talking to me. and also talking to the good LORD above! and i realized i was saying this name out loud not just once but 3 or 4 times and i thought what a handsome name. and i had lost my bassett hound too! he was stolen? so with in that month i moved to Oregon. and a month later my sister called me from work and told me to get dressed that she wanted me to meet someone, and i had just got out of a 13 yr bad relationship! and wasnt ready but she would not take no for an answer. so i got dressed and she picked me up an hr later! but let me go back for a minute went i arrived in Oregon. and her daughter picked me up from the bus station! i had sold my car in Oklahoma, didnt feel like driving anymore was tired and stressed and not so alert so anyhow when i got to my sisters house what was out back looking through the glass door was a bassett hound puppy 1 1/2 old and my sister had no idea i was even considering moving to Oregon. she had him for almost a yr! so i asked her daughter if i could let him in she said of course mom says hes yours and my heart just jumped out of my chest! i still have him (RUFAS) i have a tat on my shoulder its of a anchor w/ his name in it he helped me through my hardest times he was my anchor!! and my date i finally met was the same name that i kepted saying on the deck standing by the river so do i believe in soul mates/ true love and its meant to be!! 9 yrs later! i would do it all over again to be where im at today given what i know now. im a strong believer. and there is that special person for everyone i guess that is why iam so strong about woman and men being treated like *hit in a relationship! no'one deserves to be treated like that we only live once enjoy your life, freedom and your true love!!!
Sincerely:

I used to be quite naive and believed in the notion of 'one true love' but then realised that life is just too complicated, and there never really is just ONE person out there. There are many. It just depends on the circumstance.

In my opinion, I believe you can love many people in a life time. But 'true' love, lasts a life time. I believe 'loving someone' is different to true love. True love is where you'll die for someone, loving somebody is having a very strong connection with someone, caring for them dearly, etc. You can love someone, but once you break up, it's possible to stop loving them. Where as 'true love' also known as 'soul mates', 'the love of your life' which are related, your love will never die for them.
As we all know there's so many different kinds of love and it can be confusing. But I'm not saying you cannot love more than one person, what I am saying is, you'll always have one person in your lifetime you loved the most. Always have an extra bond for them/they're the one you'd choose when worst comes to worst, etc.

No.
Love is something that develops between people, for a lot of very complicated reasons. It may develop quickly or slowly; and may develop more between some than others. The effort that each puts into it certainly affects the result, and I'm sure there's always room for growth and improvement. Even if we restrict the notion of "love" to the romantic and sacrificial love that happens between married partners there are certainly many individuals who could be your "true love".

 Not at all. I believe that as you reach different stages in your life you are drawn to different people who you consider at the time as being your true love. There are many people out there who you are compatable with and who you will grow to love dearly.

reader, anonymous, writes (11 August 2010): I have fallen for a man that felt so right ( for both of us) that we did not spend a single night apart after our first one together and were married in 6 months. He is the father of my 2 children. He is the most special man I can ever imagine. We just clicked in a way that is impossible to describe and we are completely at ease with each other... even now 8 years later
When I was 21 I loved a man with all my being. It was entirely different. He had a way of seeing the world that gave me excitement to be with him, to hear what he said, to experience life in his company. We also grew apart because he was absorbed in his world and not really able to interact in mine. I still love him very much, but I left him and would never ever dream of being with him.
Now knowing all this, do I think there is only one true love in my life? No, they are both true. They are both different... and I was different for each of them.
What I do think is that we often "settle" for someone even when we feel there is possibly someone better out there. You will know you have found true love when you feel like there is no one else in the world you would rather be with.

 No, theres infactuation and lust these can seem like true love at the time.
Love is an expression that grows with time.

 PERSONAL OPINION: I believe in multiple soul mates. A soul mate being someone who is perfect to be a part of you life at that time of you life, and for a specific reason. I believe my first love was a soul mate, even though I know he is not the right person for me to marry and be with till death do us part.
I also believe you can be truely inlove with more than one person at a time. It's very wise to try to keep this from happening though.
I can think of two reason people would say there is onyl one true love in your love.
1) Because they found a true love and are living out their life with this person.
2) they found true love and lost it and are too broken to love like that again with someone else.
