does romantic love exist?

that thing about it just being chemical secretion in one's brain sounds so depressing. Is it really like that?Does lasting love really not exist?Do most people get tired or indifferent of each other after years?At least some people on this planet must have experienced true,lasting love..no?

What do you think about romantic love in real life and how does it affect your viewing or reading of love stories if you do consume those?

Yes, it does. But having it takes time and effort... it doesn't just magically happen how they show in Bollywood. It starts with mutual respect and admiration.

Yes but no more than 3-4 years on average for me. Isse zyada mujhse nahin hota, bhaiya

Only in titanic

I don’t know much about romance and true love, but my parents seem to be in love even after all these years.

They fight, have screaming matches, bitch about each other, but will get back to being all lovey dovey right after.
My mom would often just stick to dad like a baby monkey or betaal (the height difference helps), misses him when he’s not around, often telling me “tere papa ke bagair bilkul jee nahi lagra” which is usually every day he goes to work.

A few years ago, my dad would steal flowers from his office garden and then get down on one knee to offer them to my mom, then my mom would force me to click pics. He stopped when the office maali got suspicious.😆
They’ll go out of their way to make the other comfortable, sometimes being annoyingly self sacrificial.

There are a lot of other annoying and not so annoying things they do.

So I guess it does exist, but needs a lot of patience.

But then again, what do I know.

My parents look more and more in love each year ! They don’t even fight anymore! But it is also on you. Some people just don’t have the attributes to make a relationship work. Others do !

Nope.

@Bold

True story of most of married people... I would be suspicious if my husband is not fighting with me😆

Patience is th key...whether it is love,romance or marriage👍🏼

Yes but only 4-5 yrs as it's expiry date is just slightly longer than that of pantene shampoo (pantene shampoo expiry date is : use 3 yrs before mfg date)

But what I think about romantic love in real life does not affect my viewing or reading of love stories in fiction.

True Love exists, haven't you guys seen parade of MIDs for me, itna TRUE LOVE dekha hai kahin. Meri toh aankhein hi bhar aati hai itna love dekh ke.
