Does "true love" actually exist? I used to be so against the idea of true love. If someone mentioned they believed in it, it would take all of my willpower not to scoff and roll my eyes. Lately, however, I've been starting to believe that it does exist. Even though what I've lived through, through my mother more than anything, points to "NO"- a big

No, I never considered you one of the nameless. You've had a few boyfriends, but you were never excessive.
I've only started trying to get over what my father did us recently, so it's going to take me some time. It's only been since June, but I know I've changed so much since then. I'm not scared to be friends with boys anymore. I actually want to try for a relationship, if I meet someone. I don't push people away as much as I used to. I'm far from being completely "over it," and I probably never will get over it, but I'm doing better.

love is individual, something that is unique to each relationship that should not be labeled by a time frame.

I really like the way you put that. Maybe if I think about how love truly does differ from relationship to relationship and person to person, I won't be so annoyed when I see people quickly rush into relationships.

I'm happy you've found Tim! I know that one day I will "get lucky," but currently I'm not out seeking for it. But, if someone does happen to fall into my life, that would be awesome. haha

This is like one of my favorite topics, I don’t know why. I’m not a very credible source for advice, but I really think soul mates do exist. Even though there are a lot of people in the world, for some reason when two people who are supposed to be together find each other, they found each other because that what God’s plan was. I think He plans for people to be at the right place at the right time on purpose. I mean, if you think of the things God does and creates and makes happen, I think he can do this too!
I just wrote all this stuff and confused myself and erased it. I don’t really know what I think right now about this. I’m not good at this subject, I just think I like talking about it, but I’ll stop now because I just repeated or will keep repeating what everyone has said.
But if there is a man out there, like Lauryn said, go get your flirt on (if you want to)!
That wasn't very helpful, sorry.

so I don't know exactly what happened with your dad and I know I don't know you extremely well but I know what it's like to see two people married and supposed to be in love treat each other like crap. my parents are still together but when you watch them constantly fighting and saying horrible things to each other never really seeing that true love between them you ask yourself is this same thing going to happen to me if I fall in love and get married. I can also relate with you about pushing guys away, yes I have had a few boyfriends but it's always friends first then when we became boyfriend and girlfriend I would freak out and find every flaw in them deciding a week later that I didn't really like them not even attempting to really try. I think living in a home where you don't see what true love is like makes it hard to look for it yourself sometimes. I also think it's much harder to find someone when you haven't completely found yourself yet. but it is out there and you have to always believe that you will find it one day. I find

Hannah, I think you are the first person I've met that feels exactly like I do, or used to feel.
