what i'm asking is, if it's true that love is just something we decide to do on our own accord or something that's bound to happen? i don't mean love making dear.
If isn't a debt , why then the rain of curses and what have you when one declines from loving the other accordingly? grin

Point noted, meaning we can fall in and fall out as many times as we can with as many people as we can  smiley owing to the fact that we never planned for it and are allowed to retreat whenever we like.

Thank goodness it's friday

Love in it self is a feeling you have no control over.

However you DECIDE on whether to nurture that love and make it grow, keep it alive - or whether to let it die
Re: How On Earth Is Love An Act Of Decision Making? by Igwe9(m): 10:10am On Jun 19, 2009

positive, good 4 me and when it turns out negative, I'd back off.

still digging how right you are, methinks something one has no control over is as good as something one's decision doesn't count. smiley
How then do you intend to decide on what's beyond your control. It ought have taken you by storm and maybe, you can decide to jilt or accept upon realising yourself grin

you can not decide HOW you feel - but you can decide whether or not to make that feeling grow / develop to something more

Yes it can be changed. 

I agree with what Luxoire said to a point smiley

Attraction/chemistry is something we decide on - well not often and not all the time - but because we have a certain image in our mind, we get attracted to anything like that, that shows up - it's not a noticeable decision but it's there. What is noticeable is turning it into something deeper/more.  .  .Because some of us are not tuned in to every little thing that goes on in our brain, we attribute it to just feeling.  Same for falling out of love. You start to pick on something, something small.  .  .and it escalates and influences how you feel about the person.  You can also choose to work it out or choose to let it go.  .  .in the end it's still a decision.

What is all this story sef angry angry angry tongue

With me, I was put off by Igwe's potbelly when I was introduced to him, but I decided to fall in love with Igwe because of his wealth and his title cheesy

Love overcomes all, doesn't it cheesy And if I may say so myself, I made a wise decision and deserve a pat on the back cheesy grin cheesy
Re: How On Earth Is Love An Act Of Decision Making? by beingme(f): 2:35pm On Jun 19, 2009

Is it wise of me to say that  this decision is dynamic? just as i'm about to make another decision not to love my lolo again after realizing what kinda woman she is smiley

You can be sooooo slow sometimes angry I am going to tell the Doctors to have you chemically castrated so that I don't have any child for you, don't want them to take after you physically or mentally cheesy

Did you miss out the part where iice said "not often and not all the time" which simply means that it is not applicable in our own case so you are stuck with me whether you like it or not for better for worse angry Now go out and make some more money for me to spend cheesy grin cheesy
