i could easily go through life not being influenced by love. It's just reason. I could name many priorities which are much higher on the totem pole than love and relationships. But then again i dont really value LOTS of people i come into contact with.
Just dont tell my girlfriend that.

It all depends on how many people you come into intimate contact with...by intimate i mean a conversation. It's just probability.
I dont come across many.





Very well said.

My work took over after my old chick and me split. Seems I have more important things to think about these days.

"Falling in Love" means your lover begins to trigger your amygdala to release a heavy dose of peptides that are as addictive as Heroin.

"A broken heart" is the painful withdrawal from the trigger of these peptides.

It is possible to learn to autonomously "fall in love" in general without becoming addicted to a specific trigger.

True love = unconditional adoration + non-dependency, polyamory FTW.

I love breaking down intangible emotions into chemical terms.

For some reason this doesn't diminish love to me at all.

Me neither.

My point is that love doesn't need to have a specific person to trigger it and thus it doesn't have to hurt or end.

Most of our tendencies towards monogamy, possessiveness, and jealousy are strictly conditioned...

I'm not very old and consequently not very experienced, but I've found that the thought of being in a relationship completely turns me off.  I'm so turned away by people who want to "date", and I just don't find talking on the phone for hours about "how cute you are" and "how much I love you" appealing.  Nor do I desire going to the movies arm-in-arm, spending all my time with one person and one person alone, or holding hands in public.  I barely find sex or intimacy appealing at this point in my life, either.  (Yea, I find it a little weird myself.)

So I think sometimes you can get turned off by "love", but I don't believe you can control it (as to say, "avoid" it).  I've had some exciting times in the bedroom and I've had some wonderful relationships.  But I'm just not looking for that connection with another person right now.  I'm sure that if/when the time is right, though, it will happen.

Interesting topic and responses.  I like thinking how "falling in love" and "heartbreak" is chemical, yet how less tangibly, "love is connection".

:heart:

Love can be avoided, but not stopped!

hehe... Im sure isolating yourself from any people of the gender which you fancy will add to help from falling in love, and isolation of your emotions is also possible. Both are not healthy...

Why worry about it?
You sound young, just go out and live!
"Its better to have love and lost then to have never loved before" or how ever that saying goes... :tongue2:

Btw, I am in love and it sucks  :suicide:

>I'm thinking of holding out until I meet some women way smarter than I am. (That way whenever I get nagged into doing something, it'll be the right thing to do anyway)

I've heard of being picky, but that's a vow worthy of a Catholic priest.

There are some people that are incapable of falling in love. Like, genetically incapable. Lucky bastards

I seem to always stay away from relationships. I have been in a number of them and they always seem to be more hastle than they are really worth. My mates are always stressing over problems in a relationship, i feel i have enough on my shoulders without going through it all.

I do feel love catches up with you in the end but i dont go out looking for it.

As they said in Goodfellas:
