Anyone afraid to fall in love?

Question

if so or if not? what are your reasons?

Answer 1

To a certain degree, I think everyone is afraid to fall in love. Loving someone means they can hurt you worse than anyone else in the world, but also bring the most happiness. It's the fear that they won't love you back, will cheat, turn into a horrible abusive person, or that the romance will just fizzle out and the knowledge that you'll be sad, lonely, and probably hurting for some time if any of those happens. There's also the fear of 'what if I cheat/turn into a abusive person/etc and really hurt them'?

Regardless, most people still find at least one person they're willing to put all those fears aside for, knowing it may well end eventually, maybe even end badly, but for the chance of it working it's worth the chance of it being awful.

Answer 2

I was afraid to. (WAS)

I couldn't trust people that well and was nervous and cynical around guys. I kept worrying about what I should say when alone with them and stupid little things like that. To rationalize the fear, I just said to myself that dating and stuff like that is just a hassle. I think since the beginning all I was afraid of was rejection and a huge heartbreak that was sure to follow.

Now, I have more confidence in myself and I'm not afraid to fall in love anymore. But I think it's a good thing to protect your heart.

Answer 3

There is allot of give and take in love. Giving someone else your heart leaves you completely open to all sorts of pain. There are reasons why we need to be catious, but once you find the right person all is well and it is more than worth any pain that might come your way.  

Answer 4

my path is made of this dream. the small falling in love and failing showed the road to falling in love with the real DREAM. And the real dream makes you awaken. Not your original intention but it is a gift He/She gives for desiring Him/Her at last.  

Answer 5

nope, I am in love.

Answer 6

Oh Yea!   I'm sick  of Love & Pain & the whole d**n thing.

I've been used, abused, cheated on, lied to and rejected.  They all hurt.  But I always have just that door open a crack just in case.  I'd love to find my soul mate, but at 51 I've almost given up. So try not to expect too much.   I think he missed the boat.  I think my trouble is I'm a people pleaser and giver and guys take advantage of that and take me for granted.  Don't close the door completely but don't leave it wide open, and don't beleive in fairytales.
