I Interpret your question as "Does True Love exist?"

Depends on how you define "true"

I don't think it's 'true' in the Platonic "essentialist" term of the word--ie., there's no ABSOLUTE TRUTH to love. Absolute love would mean 1 perfect love for a person. This is not true because people can fall in "love" many times in their lives. PROOF = If a person was married and love his/her spouse then the spouse dies. The person meets another person and falls in love. If the first spouse lived and the person still met the person they would have fallen in love with in an "alternative universe" would he/she still fall in love? Probably NOT. The SITUATION of love is not there--he/she was not letting him/herself be OPEN to love.

Love, in its practical form, probably is situational. It depends on whether the person who wishes to love is opening her/himself to love. There are also differing levels to love... is it "fun" love or is it "practical" [ie., commitment] love?
