Does anybody else fall in love easily?

I know its lame but I have to physically stop myself from falling n love everytime I meet a nice chick.
If I hang around with them for a while I get all smitten. I have to stop myself thinking about them all the time because else I fall in love and get all attatched which usually has bad consequences.
Man I was about to walk this girl home and I knew that was the opportunity to make a move but I'msuch a pussy I started getting mean butterflies but I told myself "your not pussying out this time, you can't miss this oportunity"...
Then we randomly met her brother who gave us both a lift home. Dammit!

it's not technically falling in love. it's called infatuation. and yea, i can look at a girl in a crowd and think, 'damn, i think i'm in love', even though i know that's not true

In the past I've had the problem of becoming infatuated with just about any girl that shows an interest in me. After having my heart broken a couple times, I now have impossibly high standards, and tend to shut myself off from most women.

I have a hard time falling into it. I'm as bad as Seinfeld when it comes to imperfections. But once I'm there.. jeez, it's like pushing myself off a cliff to get over some girls.

I find it amusing that you say you have a problem with falling in love very easily , which in fact is a problem of thought and mind, a problem where the egoistic mind takes over and leads you to believe that you are not whole enough without a better counter-part and continuously tests all possibility's. The amusement i said i got was due to the fact that i noticed your screen name is EGO DEATH.

I don't fall in love easy at all I actually never have and don't want to but I always hated how people called this "love at first sight" nonsense actual love, I can understand using it as a saying, like this person really caught your attention but to call it love is ignorant, it's infatuation, the things a person will do for someone they truly love are endless.

Don't think of this as such a bad thing.
IMO, standards NEED to be high. If they weren't, you'd let the first girl that showed interest in you walk all over you/break your heart. And isn't that EXACTLY what happened?
Set your standards "impossibly" high so that you don't get that shit anymore.
When you find someone you can actually get along with, no standards will get i nthe way. Unless your talking purly physical standards, But I'm not, for the sake of discussion.
I would also urge the OP to adopt this mindset.

When it comes to love, in passing, I'm given to frightful fits of whimsy. I'll make eye contact and time will slow down and the world will just whirl around me and this other human being as we pass each other and I'll fall madly in love. We'll share the meeting of our eyes and nothing more and I won't stop thinking about it for days. Not with every girl, just here and there the ones that stop me dead in my emotional tracks.
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

Yeah i know but i almost wish i hadnt experienced those relationships b/c i see everyone else getting their instant gratification, although they hate everything about their mate, other than the sex. I just know it'll take forever for me to come across the one that it will work with. Until then it's just depressing meeting these stupid cycle driven females.

I don't know if I beleive that real love exists anymore. I've made myself very happy wallowing in my bitterness the past little while.
I think most of you are confusing love with lust and crushes.

I lust pretty much every girl I meet and actually exchange a word or two. I am a luster and that is my downfall.

You probably think it's wrong, but instead of looking at all of these women that you know aren't good enough to hold a real relationship with as stupid cycle driven females that depress you, think of them as the only benefit they can be to you: A peice of meat. I DO NOT condone using a nice girl. But if shes a slut, then bang her. If she's as selfish as some of the girls I have dated, be selfish back. Meaning.. Fuck them, and leave.
A real girl? Treat her with the respect she diserves

I don't like to associating the word love with the word attachment or commitment.
I love them, they love me, we love each other without ever saying it. The be cool rule rains supreme.

Hm...not me man. I never fall in love. I lust after girls. I'm fond of girls. I have crushes on girls. But, I never have been in love.

does love mean having your heart ripped out eventually? Does it have to be a so called ring of fire?

See, that's why I'll never fall in love. I don't think it's long-term. And you will end up getting your heart ripped out.
Being in love is this awesome mix of compatibility, fun, sexual attraction, good conversation, and tingly stuff (or so I surmise). That shit either completely goes away or it fades. Then it's not as fun anymore.
Being in love is real...but it's only temporary. I must admit that it looks fun as hell. But, I'm not going to go through the inevitable heartache just to have a good year or two of the loveyness. Not worth it.
