1: no, i do not believe in true love
2: why? it's hard to explain my reasons cuz even in my head their all over the place. . .however, they(my thoughts) do come to the conclusion that it doesnt exist. . .in the religious aspect, only God truely knows what love is and is able to exercise such an idea. . .in the mortal realm, just as beauty, love is an idea. . .but i dont want to go down further. . .partly cuz i'll only confuse ppl(& myself). . .but honestly, if true love existed, there would be no divorce. . .and ppl wouldnt date left and right(claiming to be in love with dozens of ppl along the way) in search of the "right one". . .
and those are my humble thoughts. . .not quite as intricate and insightful as the ones before me, or elevated. . .but im a simple man, so what can i say?. . .

There is no need to worry about the intricacies or nature of your post, I understand completely what you mean. Many human virtues and traits are often seen as an ''idea'', out of the lack of confirmation we have with the general definition, such as courage or wisdom. Love could easily be interpreted this way, if only because of its fairy tale aspect.
All these things might not come alone, and if they do not, most often then not stem from some other workings, and so therefore if they are merely ideas, then they are extensions, and do not stand individually.
It is not my belief exactly per se, but I ponder it quite often myself.
Also, the religious context often included as you mention might make it even more as such, depending on one's beliefs. I do not want to get into that one though. XD
