crazyyetsane Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Do you think it's possible to will yourself to fall in love with someone just because it's convenient? Do you think it's possible to will yourself to fall out of love with someone because it's inconvenient? Anyone have any theories about this?

I don't really know. Lot's of people confuse other emotions for love. People I know tell me they fall in love with someone almost right off the bat. I don't really see how that could be love if you don't really know the person. That to me is just infatuation. There seem to be so many different kinds of love that maybe if someone just knew someone else long enough, and tried to forgive the things that were wrong with them, then perhaps it's possible. I just don’t know Originally posted by crazyyetsane Do you think it's possible to will yourself to fall out of love with someone because it's inconvenient? I think it is possible for the image of a person to change so much that it kills the love for them. If so, then perhaps it is likewise possible to view them on your own in that light and thus ‘fall out of love’ with them, but again, I’m really not sure. I have had little luck on both fronts.
forever_young Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 I agree with Podna. I think people confuse their feelings and just think its love. I personally have been thinking alot about this lately. I don't think I even know what love is. Does anyone? How do you know your in love and not just infatuated? I just broke up with my BF a month ago and we wonder if we were ever in love or just like the idea of loving someone. I honestly don't know. also since I have been thinking about if I loved this boyfriend (which at the beginning I was pretty damn sure I did) I wonder if I loved past BFs when I thought I did. One I know I didn't (just liked the idea of him) but my first "love" I wonder.... I would be interested to hear other peoples thoughts on love or the lack there of. FY
sweet-oooh Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 I think sometimes when we meet someone, we can fall in love with all the attention and excitement.

Do you think it's possible to will yourself to fall out of love with someone because it's inconvenient? Anyone have any theories about this? Yes and yes. I think we learn to love people and can make a conscious decision not to love unsuitable people. The "spark" is something else.
