methinks the love of right now is most likely--people change over time

I thought I had met the love of my life and had a child with him, but that didn't turn out so beautifully. 
I think the optimistic romantic (i.e. delusional) side in us all hope for that perfect person we see in movies and books...but I think it's all chemical, to be perfectly honest. Therefore...I try not to expect anything these days!
Sondheim (sp?) wrote: "if you never have an expectation...you can never have a dissapointment." Of course, "Passions," was a flop...so, what does he know?
I just hope that the next dude whose pheremones turn me on isn't a jerk...or worse...that I turn out to be the jerk!

My mother and father were perfect for each other. They had a happy marriage until my father passed away.
If they can find true happiness, then it is certainly plausible that we can as well.

Really? I find MD to be very therapeutic. I've made tons of really good friends, some really fantastic people that I enjoy socializing with. Outstanding people who run the gamut: brilliant, funny, witty, talented, experienced, sexy... So many people I've met that I wouldn't have met otherwise.
Sure there are a couple of lunatics, but that also makes it fun.
I love the people here. I've learned a whole lot about life, and even myself, from them. This place is phenomenal.
Why not open yourself up and join the forums a bit? Give people the opportunity to learn who are. Blog. If you stick around long enough, people will learn who you are and you'll develop friendships.
MD is like ... one giant bar. A bar where you can sit down and converse with some brainy chick from Wisconsin. Or some dude from Michigan who always has lessons to learn from everything that he writes. No alcohol, though. It's strictly BYOB. ;)

Or conversely, someone, who if you close your eyes and listen very carefully, you can hear the hamster wheel turning ever so slowly in his/her head. Fortunately, those seem to be few and far between.

I've actually met the love of my life several times in my life.
This time is the real one though.

That sucks. Normally I would slit my wrists upon hearing such awful news, but if there's no one decent in this world, then by extension, there wouldn't be anyone decent in the next world either.
Is there any escape from this madness?

Yes Null, there is.
Here is the best piece of advice I have regarding this subject;
Don't set your expectations too high. If you are holding out for Mr./Miss Right to come riding in on a white horse and sweep you off your feet...chances are you will be left holding your own...*ahem*.. Anyways, I think a lot of times people expect too much, plain and simple. Now, I'm not saying you should set your expectations so low the first guy who comes along seems like Mr.Wonderful himself, but take into consideration that we are all human. There is a happy medium there somewhere, find it.
Another problem I think women have is being jealous too often. Here's a hint, you are more than likely not his first relationship. Yes, he's probably even had sex with people other than you. Don't waste your time being jealous about previous women in his life. You are in the spotlight now. If he's with you, there's a reason. Just like there's a reason he's not with what's-her-name anymore. Oh, and I hate to burst your bubble, but once in awhile he is going to catch a glance at some boobies hanging out of a shirt, or a nice set of legs in a mini skirt. Don't get so upset over it. As long as he is just looking who cares? Besides, if we're all being honest...you do it too. I'm sure there are men and women on here who will argue with me about this fact, but I won't believe you. 
I've had some not so good luck with men, and it always seems to be for the same reason. I'm not sure if it's because I just don't pick good mates, or if it's because that's how a majority of men are. Every man I've ever been with doesn't really listen when their gf/wife/etc talks to them. It seems like everything goes in one ear and out the other. It doesn't even really matter what the topic is, in my experience. Take a step back and actually try to understand what your woman is saying and where she is coming from.
I stopped believing Romeo existed awhile ago. Not long after I did I met the man I'm with now.
These are my own life lessons, take them for what you will.

Actually, I was just kidding above. I'm sorry. I should've put a smiley face on there or something. 
I'm actually a pretty hardcore optimist!

I have been fortunate enough to have found several loves of my life online. The internet was good to me
Ages ago, the first woman I met was on a Usenet news group. Remember Usenet and anonymous remailers? She was a very special lady. Well, she didn't have a photo but told me to watch a certain TV talk show to see what she looked like. So I programmed my video recorder. When I got home from work I played the tape. She was a gorgeous red head psychologist speaking as a guest on the Tempest Bledsoe show. Well, we met and we dated for several years. We broke up but we're still very good friends.
Since then, I've met quite a few wonderful ladies along the way. I've also met some very colorful people who would do well appearing on the Jerry Springer show or a John Waters film. It takes all kinds. Its been very entertaining to say the least.
But if you're looking for love, don't look too hard. You won't find love, love will find you.

I've met the love of my life, but unfortunately, I do not seem to be the love of his life... Does that cancel it out?
Hope you don't mind a cut-in from GA -- I did, after all live in NY for 8 years... and all the years I lived in Philly, I took the train every month to Soho to visit the galleries when the exhibits changed... so please pity me as the GA threads are just not happening...

Red, I earn more pity. I'm an ex-pat Connecticut Yankee stuck in Nevada (threads) 
But if you're looking for love, don't look too hard. You won't find love, love will find you.
...and yes, to answer the OP's original question, I HAVE met the love of my life...not just a "love", but "THE LOVE"...by accident. Here, originally, coincidently. 
Hey, who knows...maybe some of us are entitled to another round
