I have heard that most great romances were love at first sight. Awhile back, when she was still living, Abigail Van Buren wrote about the quick marriages of WWII and how they seemed to flourish successfully, in spite of the way they all happened so spontaneously.

There are different loves for different times in our lives.
In our youth we need to breed, later we need someone to depend on for the family and at the end of our lives, we want to lounge in our comfort and decay together.

dunno
Just my inexperienced humble opinion.wink

I certainly cant control who I love or not, it is something that simply flows or grows when I am in the process of knowing someone, I think it is better this way....If I could have absolute control on who to love and who not to love it wouldnt be romantic I guess

Love's kinda weird that way--just when we think we have it all under control, bam, it hits. That's where those old sayings come from about love not making sense, or referring to somebody in love as being in "la la land". .....ooooh, ooooh, love hurts, ......professor

Once we get bitten by the smitten bug, it's hard to control. Guess we have to make sure we keep our common sense intact enough to make wise decisions. dunno

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, and marks
Any heart, not tough
Or strong enough

To take a lot of pain
To take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain

Love hurts
Love hurts

I'm young, I know
But even so
I know a thing or two
I learned, from you

I really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot

Love hurts
Love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue

Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts

I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue

Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts

I fell in love with a lady once that I knew would never work out,long story.so I tried to stop loving her but couldnt.I thought I could talk myself out of it 'logically' but no luck.I realized then I had little or no control.I asked this question to see if I was the only one lol.I see now im not.even though it hurt not to have her in my life I still think its better not to have total control over your feelings,life would be so boring wouldnt it.

No, it's not boring, it's called contentment.
My feelings of comfort, security and safety come first.

I think most of us have experienced something similar at least once in our lives. I think the more often it happens, the more guarded we are as to who we let into our hearts. wine

Why does everything haveto be about control and power?? It's so much happier and real if no one controls no one and just...be and be the best we can with each other :) I RARELY hear or experience the term "unconditional" anymore, it's the best part of a great relationship!!!

I think we don't just fall inlove blindly ... There were qualities, beauty, charm, respect, honesty etc. that makes us fall inlove with that particular person ... So it will be hard to just stop loving someone with a switch of a button ... When its "true love" you feel, its like a loss in death, it takes time to get over the emotions but will never remove the memories wine

Whether or not a person controls with whom they bond (aka love) is entirely within their control, if they have an IQ north of two digits.
To claim to be unable to control the process is the sign of someone of below-average intelligence, who has little education, no common sense and little to no impulse control. They are little better than a mongrel dog mating on the street.

When you're inexperienced and green you it's easy to just fall in love at the drop of a hat. When you're wise and learned then you finally become empowered by realizing you have control and a say over who you will give your heart and life to.

cheers yup

but I do think we learn as time goes on

first the differences between lust and love

and then the value if placing true love first when we find it because it happens so rarely

I think it's falling lust where we need to be careful - whereas we cannot always predict who we will fall in love with, we can control our lust lives
