a true friend is someone you can count on thru good and bad times.  They are someone you can tell your deepiest darkiest secret to.  A true friend is very hard to find, bu you can.

they say you learn the most about a person's character when they are challenged to do the right thing. it kind of works the same way with friends. A true friend is someone who you know you can depend on to stick with you no matter what, and to support you when you need it regardless of the circumstances. a good friend will lie to you to make you feel better right at that moment, a true friend will tell you the truth because they know it's what you need to hear and it's best for you in the long run. a true friend is someone you can be so close with that when other people hang out with the two of you, you hear things like "whenever i'm with you guys i feel like i'm with a couple." you should know each other so well that you're completely comfortable talking about anything, and you're never jealous because you know that no matter who they hang out with or what comes up in their life, you always come first in each other's lives. and that's what a true friend is- not someone who will always party with you or who always has all the answers, but someone who deep down always makes you a priority and will do whatever they can for you and will love you no matter what.

Love is true.\n\nThat being said, let me explain...wait, let me summarize.\n\nThe problem is, people confuse infatuation and/or lust for love. That giddy, fast heartbeat, almost obsession with a person, that is infatuation. When you just *want* someone, that is lust. Infatuation is a combo of liking someone, lust, and a few other chemical responses. Most people think this is "love", but the problem with infatuation is, after out three months, it goes away.\n\nWhen it goes away, if there really isn't anything else there in the way of feelings for a person, then there is nothing left, and people think they ar "fell out of love".\n\nTrue love, sometimes starts with that giddy rush of infatuation, but afterwords, but it's the feeling that stays afterwords. It's a deeper, less giddy feeling. Part friendship, part liking to be with someone, part lust (there should always be lust, rowr), but also a deeper feeling of being happy to be around a person. With my Love, I feel, complete, total, I understood the poets, when they say some souls are divided, and we spend our lives looking for our other half.\n\njust my spin. Love is out there. It may not be that you don't feel it, it might just not be what you are expecting it to be, not a mad giddy infatuation, but something a bit more subtle, but lasting.\n\nLove shall be the whole of the law.

Ok, first, true love doesn't just happen.  But it does exist!  I think we fall in Lust too quickly, and that is why most relationships don't work out. \n\nI think that true love starts with a friendship.  Your lover must also BE your best friend.  One must bear in mind that as we get older, for alot of couples, the lust isn't there anymore.  Then what do you have?  If you have your best friend next to you until you are old and retired, you will at least have companionship, trust, love, respect and conversation, even when there is no longer the need or desire for sex.  There you go : True Love.\n\nFriendships are known to last the test of time, so surely this is in actual fact "True Love!"  So no  -  don't settle for lust because it won't last!  Settle for a best friend  -  and experience the meaning of True Love with your partner !  I think you may find that True Love and your Soul Mate walk hand in hand.

Well to be honest I think friendship is a form of love. In my opinion there are two kinds of love. First of all there is love for your family and friends. My family are obviously important in my life, and I love them so much, and my friends, well most of my girl friends, I love them as though they were my sisters. That goes for my guy friends as well, they're like my brothers, and some of them certainly act like it. But then you have love for a significant other. I don't think there's a huge difference between the two other than the fact that love for a significant other is  a bit more complex, but that's mainly because that love can change so quickly, whereas for the most part love for your family and friends is always there.... I don't know.. it's kinda hard to explain.

True friends are those who support you in whatever you do, will advise you if they think you're going in the wrong direction. They take the time to say hello if they know you're feeling bad. They will always be friends and forgive you if you upset them. A true friend can be someone you hardly see or who is there all the time. I know I haveone trued friend because he listens to me and allows me to listen to him. We give each other advice but know when we only want a listening ear. He cheers me up when I'm down and goes out of his way to make sure I have someone to talk to.

Umm true love, a big issue....\nPeople are from different kinds and different characters, love could exist for some as true love, and for others it could be just an illusion because of the type of person they are and love exists in many different forms, built on different things, like your love to a friend is different from your love to a family member or a gf or bf and so on... as for loving girls, there could be true love but very hard to exist 100% because true love means that if that person lost many things you love in you must still feel with love for him and that isnt correct for many people because some love for appearance, some for personality and so on.... and everything in a human beings change by time, the person you love will change in looks, personality and so on, and the idea of the ideal person you search to love will also change, so love is a very big and hard issue, but i hope that you will find the best and truest love to your heart :D

You're NOT an idiot at all: your actions have shown both courage and devotion...two components of both true love and friendship. How she eventually responds will depend on your shared "chemistry" and where her life experience falls on the learning curve of love.\n\nI can tell you, however, I've been in her place and understand her perspective. A close friend revealed his feelings for me some months ago, and at first it was hard for me to see him as more than a friend (also, I feared losing his friendship!), but he responded similarly to your actions...proving over time he'd not pressure me, and truly cared for me in whatever capacity we could share our lives. Now, he's MUCH more than a friend AND we've found the strength of our friendship helped us overcome typical romantic spats, etc. The time spent in friendship made the love lasting. \n\nPlease do not feel foolish. You've been honest and patient. (Foolish would be never having the guts to tell her how you feel, or rejecting her when she didn't return your desires immediately.) Continue being yourself, and dedicate yourself to the friendship...give her TIME...possibly she'll see your strength and affection, understand the man you can be in her life, and return your feelings. \n\nEither way, here's a quote I like: \n"You are what you love, not what loves you."

Very simple. Love between friends has no conditions. That love is a bond that exists no matter who you are, or what you have, or where you live. It means you are allowed to disagree, or argue without ending that friendship. Loving a friend without lying is entering into that bond and unconditional friendship without fear of getting hurt. And, of course, being able to say " I love you, my friend."

A real mathematical equation is impossible.  \nWhat about this?\n\nA true friend:\n\nIs with you in times of trouble and joy\nEncourages you to do your best\nLifts you up when you are down\nCarries you on her shoulder if you can't walk\nWalks by your side when you can walk\nand shares your tears and laughter.\nBut before you search for a true friend\nBe a true friend first.

Heavens, yes!  Without friendship, there wouldn't be love in the first place!

Love is more than just a feeling. Real love is based on principles. Whether you like the Bible or hate it, there is a great description of agape love(love based on principle). 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 I believe. This love is a way of life.  If you live this way, you will be able to find others that do the same. The rest pretty much just happens. But if you want the love to grow and to last, apply the principles of agape love in your life. I promise, it works.\n\nP.s. Please view my question if you have time

We can love someone and not always like them...but to Like someone you Love...is vital-because you can't like someone you don't respect..if we didn't like a friend-they wouldn't be a friend for very long..it's that friendship that can keep things together in the tough times...

Well for me, it was just something i knew in my heart. Everytime i saw this person my heart would skip a beat and for some reason, i always had to smile when i saw him. There really isnt a how-to to true love. If you feel it with all your heart and soul that you really and truely love this person, then that is your true feelings.

True Love, is perfect love.  It's what the Greeks defined as Agape and the Italians as 'sincere Amore.'  It is Love that does one never has to question.  Love that will sacrifice for another's happiness.  True Love is pure, kind, honest, and everlasting.  It retains hopes and can endure all things.  \n\nIt does exist; yes it seems to be rare. And being able to have this Love for another is a gift, but it can also be very difficult. The self sacrificing nature of Love can lead one to feeling foolish from time to time, especially when there is no love (True Love or otherwise) received in return. Still it's an amazing feeling to have.
