An interesting question,and one I suspect we have all thought about,and formulated a theory on.I fell in love once,at the same moment my partner fell for me,while making love for the first time.
It did just happen,but..

We had to have got to know each other,had decided each other were lovable people.Had judged and weighed and found each other a worthy partner.Had instinctually seen we could trust each other.Then we made love and fell in love.

So I believe,it is part choice-I would walk away from an unsuitable partner,so not allowing feelings to develop,but love happens because a particular person possesses the characteristics that you just love(so love that person easily,it just happens).

I think if you are in regular contact with someone unsuitable,for example married or abusive,and they possess the characteristics you love,you may fall in love involuntarily.So it would then not be a choice.

HotrodLarrys: thought you had a Manly Man



Oh, he's all man alright. Playful, imaginative, funny, and sweet too. He has facets. He's not 2-dimensional (which works out nicely because neither am I). yay


Too bad Germany is between us. laugh

pikengren: usually when you aren't looking for it.
almost always.

not when you lie to yourself,
and tell yourself you aren't looking,
but when you really truly and honestly
aren't looking.

i think we put out a different vibe when we aren't looking
that makes us more attractive
.


I totally agreewink

I think we are stronger when we aren't looking,rather than focused on what we are in need of,we have something to give.This is more attractive.

I think love happens when we least expect it. Its the strongest force in the universe and teaches the lesson that we cant control it. wine

i think a person can LEARN to love another...look at all the arranged marrieges throughout the world...but that's not to say the other does'nt excist...there are all kinds of types of love...for me, finding the love of your life is everything...i don't really know if EVERYBODY has that "one" out there for them...but without it, would'nt a person just be "settling" for something less ?...i had reached a point in my life, where i was'nt going to settle for anything less...and to be honest, did'nt think i would ever find it...but i had always heard, it'll happen when you are'nt looking for it....that's what happend with me anywaygrin

in My experience, seems everyone wants Love, tho when they start falling with someone, the get scared and run from it(disappear)
Maybe they arent ready for love, but want it, Many times they have Debts, or Family ties that put them in Reverse, or maybe just have fear of not being accepted...they tend to Play a game till its their turn to bat, then come up with some lame excuse,
dunno

There is a difference between running from it and proceeding with caution (when there's good reason for it). dunno

HotrodLarrys: Do we Search it, and Find it?

Or is Love a Choice from within every Individual?


wow Interesting thread and a great read Larry thumbs up

Firstly I belive it happens when we least expect it. I think actively looking can be detremental to the signals we put out. From my eperience, and I never conciously sought it, it just crept up on me.
I believe loving someone can and does fulfill a need in us. Whether consciously or subconscioulsy we look for this I do not know.
I also believe its a matter of timing. We can meet people that we could love, and at a time in our life when we are not looking, or would complicate our life, we pass them by dunno

So, in answer to your question laugh I believe that we dont choose who we love consciously, but we certainly choose whether to show them that love, which is a conscious decision.

Hope your well cheers

Doing well Vinny, after analizing this thought, (even before the thread, I had My Answer, and I DO feel that Love is a Choice, either we are available or not, we Subconsciencely allow it or not, So To Me IT IS A CHOICE!, tho it dont fall off of trees, when we enable ourselves to be Ready for Love, Then we must wait for it to happen...

Anyone NOT choosing to find love wont, as they subconsciencly close their Brain to it... ( By Choice!)wink

Hi Jeankimberley,
Glad you found it positivelaugh
