Do you believe that we choose who we love?
Or is loving someone something we have no control over?

In my past, if I "fell" in love with someone, it was almost always with a person that wasn't healthy for me. I would like to think that as I become a healthier person, I could have some say in who I choose to love. I don't know if it will work like that or not.

I believe that a lot of people can choose. It just hasn't worked for me that way so far.

You can choose who you love, you just can't choose who loves you.

I think we always choose.
It's just that sometimes we make good choices and sometimes our choices are not-so-good.......

If we can chose what attributes in a person to love, then yes we can and do choose who we love.
In time we find that we just don't love the whole of them hence going seperate ways.

We chose with whom to have a relationship; love itself isn't a choice or decision. It's a feeling; what we do about it is a choice.

Love is a choice. I can choose to love somebody whether I feel like it or not.

I do believe we have some power over that decision but not entirely...sometimes it creeps up on us when we least expect it...it can be just a smile, a brief moment where are fingers touch or a second when we look across and realise the person we have been spending time with has suddenly become more than just a beautiful friend..
Sometimes love seeks us out and overpowers our own control
Love is reckless....its worst enemy is life!

I believe there is a moment where we choose.

If we give attention to the incipient feeling , it will grow. If we let it pass, it will just be a pleasant moment we enjoyed, the stuff of daydreams.

I believe that we can't choose who we truly fall in love with, we just have to hope they are there to catch us cool

thumbs up well said!I also believe that there has to be a chemistry between too people and that 95% of the time love will happen when and where we lest expect it too and it's that kind of love that last...not the kind that we go searching for but the kind that just happens!very happy
