Some people are afraid to fall in love because they are afraid:

To be used
To mistreated
To be dumped
To be abused

Past negative experience normally discourage people from trying out new relationships and going forward with their lives. It is important that people get proper counseling so they can learn to properly let go and start anew and not bring baggage in the new relationship.

Once they get pass all of that and learn to trust their new partner health wise they will fall in love hopefully with the right person and forever.

I have to make one last comment! grin

Do not " believe" in love! It is not a belief system.  
It is not a means to an end , it just IS !

It cannot be defined or proven.

If one requires " proof" that love exists, then thats fine. Dont love then.

Ive said it before, but You must not be afraid to freefall into loving someone no matter what.

The delusion is by far deeper than I thought it was! I give up, I really do
Re: Why Are Some People Afraid Of Falling In Love? by Phate07(m): 9:11am On Jul 22, 2011

^^Yeah, you should quit trying to convince others not to believe in love.

There are other more useful ways you can put your scientific theories(or lack of them) to use, like finding a cure for AIDS.
Re: Why Are Some People Afraid Of Falling In Love? by loverboy4(m): 9:43am On Jul 22, 2011
Well, I think being afraid may be an overstatement kind of. People decide not to fall in love for many reasons - past experience, anger, not being ready, future plans, dilemma, psyche etc. It doesn't necessarily mean they're afraid or they don't believe in love. Now let me speak for myself. I personally believe there is true love(even though its scarce these days). The last time I was in love, I discovered I was not really ready for the responsibilities that goes with loving a lady. This goes beyond care, money, gifts, calls, So I can boldly say I'm not afraid to fall in love, rather I'm just waiting for the right moment and lady!

Hello, it depends on which "love" you're talking about. You needn't "fall-in-love" with your mum, brother, sister or any close kin-although some[i] insane[/i] people do some very crazy things-because you naturally love that relative of yours naturally.
But it's sad when people like the physical or current status of some other person and confuse it for love or when some other people pretend-and thus deceive themselves-that they love the person's "attitudes" but go ahead to "break-up" or divorce after one or two weeks after courtship.

You want to know why people can't really love again, be it inter-relationship or love for their fellow man, go read the Bible.
The Love of men will grow cold and they will care more for themselves and for worldly things.
Real Love comes from God. Think of it, if a man gets married because he truly loves not lusts after his woman, the marriage will be exactly as God wills it.

Before the English word "Love" existed, there has been about 5 or 6 Hebrew words that described Love including; Eros-Longing or romance, Epithumia-Desire or Attraction, Storge-Belonging or Affection, Phile-Cherishing or friendship, Agape-Selfless giving, brotherly or Christian love. English philosophers then coined all these descriptions into one four-lettered controversial but powerful word: Love.
SO WHICH LOVE IS IT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT?
Re: Why Are Some People Afraid Of Falling In Love? by emmatok(m): 1:01pm On Jul 22, 2011
People claim love exits and it is eternal.

People claim they fall in-love.

If love exist why do  them-same people wake-up and say they are no more in-love.

It all about fantasies and delusions.

Most long lasting marriages are due to Understanding, tolerance and not love.

But check out marriages of today they all claim to be in-love and they divorce the minute.

When you hear[b] LOVE IS BLIND IT MEANS DELUSIONS AND FANTASIES.[/b]

When my friend stated  dating  his  Skank called GF, all his family members and friend  warned him about the lady.

But this guy was so delusional, claiming he is in-love.

He even sold his car to pay for the ladies school fees.

Now the lady has graduated, she is currently planing to marry a big man in Abuja.

Then the guy just woke-up from all his delusions.

Delusion is self deception.

Love can be nothing but a delusion.
Re: Why Are Some People Afraid Of Falling In Love? by BigMeat2: 3:10pm On Jul 22, 2011
Human beings as we are like to complicate simple things.

Love is so simple that if it is genuine, lots of stress and heartbreak will be reduced.
Re: Why Are Some People Afraid Of Falling In Love? by Nayah(f): 3:16pm On Jul 22, 2011
I disagree star some beautiful things came from love, magic moment and very good memories but as I said it previously this is a risk we have to take or else we might miss the meaning of being happy with someone
Re: Why Are Some People Afraid Of Falling In Love? by owo2390(m): 3:38pm On Jul 22, 2011
Love is like any emotion in the array of emotions that humans possess, it's subjective, it's normal, and happens to everybody.

No one can force anyone to believe in love, but love is not an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, schizophrenia is.

People shouldn't blanket statement such as "love is a delusion" because statement like that are ignorant-they are just empty words.
