It depends on what you call "love". If "love" to you means physical attraction, then it will always be temporary and you will always find more physically attractive people in life, so you can never be satisfied and this kind of "love" cannot last for long. If "love" to you means loving a person because of their good character, thinking and attitude in life then, it will last as long as these qualities remain in that person. Most people confuse love with physical attraction, hence believe in myths like "love at first sight" etc. You can never know a person properly at first sight, you can only feel physically attracted to a person at first sight because of their looks alone, which is not love.

hey dont be cruel! there is no such thing. love is the feeling that you feel fit with. and either woman and man are the dummy subject (or wall flower) of love. that means we do not love someone but we do love own self. and we do need to love of own self. So due to we do need an 'agent' as schopenhauer says, love is a trick of Nature. Nature does show it in different ways and on different 'agents'. My suggestion is do not run after of it, Cause it is not the thing of running after. And doesnt deserve it anyway also. Bye the way did you know? women do carry on 'love' in her stomach so they like warm one not the cold :) but men are I think more fair ! At least men do love the love by his heart-mind! One more thing.. why the hell everyone seeking love around!

Psychologists say that love lasts for 3 months. Of course love can last longer. But this saying I read too. I think man holds true love in his heart until his death.

I have heard something about it. It isn't that love last 3 years, they refer to the flames of passion, that the passion can last 3 years, after that your love life becomes a living or routine
