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.
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, ......

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
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.
waterboy101: can we control who we love,do we pick who is a logical choice,or do we just go with our hearts.
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!!!

The only unconditional love in this world is the love you get from a child, IMO.
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

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.
2intrigued: 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.
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.
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 (Disclaimer: That last comment does include Boban1)
At this point in my life, lust sounds just about right for me.

yes I can understand that! men are a lot of work to have around all the time - hogging the remote & drinking all the lager and leaving smelly socks laying about!
keep them around for one purpose and then send them home, I say

Think she's onto something there.
Me thinks she was a very wise woman. BTW the house next to me is up for sale.
