Is it limited by the era we are born in, the country we are born in, religion, etc? I mean, I'm just trying to wrap my head around how I can expect to meet someone in my life life itself limits who your love is going to be? I think my question makes sense. I don't know...any thoughts? Reply to this Question

 If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.
I have loved older men, younger men, Jewish men, catholic men, agnostic men... etc.
the only limits to love are the ones you place on them.

 Love is very strange thing but i beleive in this little therory i once read in a book as if you think about it really does make sense. " In the ancient greek times, the gods made great beings which were stronger and more heavenly than any human, but one day the gods decided that these creatures were too strong for there own good and split there souls in two, which creatated humans. The humans felt lost without there over half and each human dedicated parts of there lifes looking for the other half of there souls and when they succeeded once again they were as strong as they were when they were whole. This is where the word soulmate came from." The little story went something along the lines of that, and if you think about it, it was somewhat true as some people will go from one partner to another always searching for that one special person and others will meet and fall in love instantly. I guess the whole point of love is searching to find that one person who you were always destined to be with, and i think if and when you find your soulmate then there is no limits on love. I'm sorry if it all seems abit airy fairy but its just my take on it all. Also i think finding the right person is all about chance and just being in the right place at the right time.

 In theory love is eternal and there are no limits on love. You will find people who manage to remain in love whilst on other sides of the worlds, people who are from completely different religions still manage to fall in love. Yes religion, countries etc all make being in love harder and you have to work more at it if there are major differences like this, but at the end of the day if you both want a relationship to last you will be fight for it and it will work out.
To me love is a combination of many things - friendship, passion, intimacy, respect, trust, honesty, fun, laughter and shares interests.
I dont believe in 'the one' - there are so many billions of people on this planet that the idea is ridiculous. It is mathmatically impossible for there just to be 'one' person out there for you. Have I met my one? Well I had a relationship when I was 17 that lasted a year and I can still say that I love him even now, 7 years later. I dont know if he is 'the one' but I do know that no matter what happens in my life he will always hold a special place in my heart. Am I confident that I will meet someone else that comes close to him one day? Hopefully, I've not been massively successful so far (I've had relationships with amazing men but never felt the same way for them as I do for the ex from when I was 17), I doubt still being in touch with him is helping (we have always maintained some level of contact for the last 6 years since breaking up).
I'm always going to remain positive about love - after all I have met some great men and had wonderful relationships, it has proven to me that many different types of men can make me happy, its just about me finding that person that really wows me and knocks me off my feet.
Dont feel limited by life - your current situation will actually be helping you to meet someone suitable. Chances are you will hang around in social circles where your friends are similar to you, you will go out and participate in hobbies with similar like minded people, people in your area will be of a similar religion, will share similar cultural values etc. Generally if you have lots in common then you will have a good relationship, so the area you live in and the life you have will help you meet people that you will have lots in common with.
Remain positive, love will often come along when you least expect it....and if you want to take control and make things happen then get out there more - try online dating, joining more clubs, take up new hobbies, go out socialising more - love does sometimes come along unannounced but then again if you are not out there you are never going to find anyone sat in your bedroom by yourself are you.
I hope this helps and good luck!
