Lulibella: If you have walls shielding your heart but yet you still have a desire to fall in love again..What would it have to take to knock the barriers down?
It sounds as though the desire is there with apprehension about doing so. Getting to the bottom of the reluctance is key here.

Funny thing about love. When it comes along, it just sort of knocks you down. A nice clean fall. It's not something you can plan for/know ahead of time what you're going to do or how you're going to act. Those walls will come tumbling down when the "love" bug bites, and there's nothing you can do about it except enjoy the fall. I love love a lot! just wish it would knock me down sometime, really.

First you have to admit why the walls are there to begin with... Is there nothing worse than missing someone that doesn't miss you?
The only person that can mend a broken heart is yourself.

answer: reveal your fantasy in a publicroom, and the barriers evaporate. try it . you'll see
I've been thinking the same thing, for I haven't had a solid relationship yet.
To be honest I think it takes time for someone to bring down the walls, I also think several people are right in this forum.
you need communication and determination to push through all the negative thoughts and feelings towards dating. just because one guy didn't cut it, doesn't mean the next one will just be another failure.
if the relationship didn't work then it wasn't meant to be, I say this to you and yet I still don't understand it myself. falling for someone hurts when you get kicked to the side, but love isn't suppose to hurt... love makes all the problems go away, so if your in pain...then it's not love at all... and you need time to understand why things happened the way they did.
When I was a child I trusted everyone..I grew up and realized trust has to be "earned", along with love..Dont throw your precious pearls to swine, because all they will do is trample over them, not appreciate their beauty and you will lose.. If someone has earned the trust over time then I feel both people should have trust for each other unless something changes and one betrays the other..Blind trust leads to disasterous results..I will never let anyone force me into thinking it is a good thing and anyone who doesnt do blind trust is supposedly "insecure".

Trust and love to me are completely different things. We don't have to trust someone to love them. It is good if we love them and trust is also there, since it will make the love last longer.
However, to take the risk to love someone, despite all the risks, is something we did best when we were young. Now we are older and wiser we put up so many barriers we never really allow ourselves to love again.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all!
The walls that surround me are not of my own making, but for anyone to get close to me they have to be genuine. Not the flash in the pan types that run rampant all over who are golden until they think they have you.

Intense perseverance and commitment by the other person.
