Love and intimacy go hand in hand.Love include adore, desire, prefer, possess, care for, serve, and even worship. To understand love in relationships, you must first understand how the self either enhances or inhibits your capacity to love. so my opinion is a true love needs intimacy :)

yes true luv without intimacy can exists.....imagine true luvrs who liv e in gr8 distance wronging the belief that luv ca'nt be maintained in distance.....feelings are more important than being physical...most people break away becoz they get confused lust with true love...

love and intimacy are not different things.they are the half and half part of entire 1.
but love doesn't mean that intimacy is must, however in love we also want to intimate with our love. and if there is real love between a copule than intimacy and love both walks together and give real feeling of love and joy, and yes love is possible without intimacy,but it also depends on the copule does they want sex? or real love. I will give you an example - if a couple need to go for work for several months alone (alone means separated) than he or she should not intimate with other neither they will if they will love their partner truly, but now-a-days both are character less and they want to just intimate .
people only say that they love but there are only few that really knows the meaning of love.
Love doesn't mean sex, it is care, respect and the urge of giving her/his partner her/his each and every thing , even he or she ounself does not possess that thing but he/she desires to give that particular thing to her/his partner( instead of keeping it for their ownself) that is love

I love a girl
i proposed her 3 times.
she always said no,

a month back i got job, i proposed her to marry me. she again said no.

i just loved her and nvr evr had thoughts of getting intimate with her. nvr had bad thoughts abt her

Having intimated encounter or think abt such isn't wrong its quite natural.

What's true love according to u?
I think most people have their own defination of true love.

see there are two types of personal involved. first one playing a planned drama of love for only to have intimacy. it is never ever attached with emotions even after very long duration.
next one also wants intimacy but not by making fool but as a result of his/her concrete steps towards life long believe. he may touch kiss and all other act but will keep patience for extreme.
even world is fast but girls beware. watch for them at least 1000days.also avoid to go in a lonely place. first kind of guy will always ask to do as such. so it depends on you. ....
