yes because some people are afraid of if it's there to last. people can be afraid of the hurt, the process, and if that person is in love as much as they are.

Yes. Some people have had a bad childhood and are afraid of ending up in a marriage like their parents or some people have fallen in love before and been hurt and don't want to fall in love again.

It is very possible because there are people who are hurting and who had bad experiences in some point in their lives.
For these kind of people who are 'afraid' to fall in love, they may be the very individuals who are afraid to get into a commitment afterwards or who are just simply scared of showing their feelings- Just because they may face rejection later on.
These people may not be the 'very' people who experienced a failed relationship before or who had experienced such a feeling long time ago, but maybe, there are people in their personal lives (like a family member) who had a failed relationship. And because of this, these people are now scared of getting into the same trap and wouldn't want to be hurt.

Yes, totally. Many people think that falling in love means you're ready for a life long relationship, and they are afraid that if they fall in love then maybe in a few years they'll regret it and not be able to back away. Just go with your instincts and remember: they didn't pu the O in love for nothing!

I would think so. No matter what your age is. Think about it.........you are giving up most of your freedom; if you like to sleep in on the weekend, your mate won't. When you are married, you have to give 90% and your mate gives 10% or so it seems. When you are single, you only have one set of problems.........yours, but when you are married, you have your problems plus your mate's problems. You have to take on so much responsibility and commitment. If you have a baby, he'll be jealous of the time you spend looking after it. Even tho he helps out. And even tho you're a good cook, he doesn't like the food you like. Is it worth it? I'm not so sure it is. Guys get bored very easily, then they start taking you for granted, and flirting with any female near by to build up their huge enormous ego. Been there and dunnit!

Absolutely! When you have given your love and trust to someone in a previous relationship and had things end badly, where you have been hurt, it can be hard to want to take that step again. Love is the most wonderful emotion, and it can also be the most painful. Like most things in life, when something had turned out bad, we tend to avoid it to protect ourselves. It doesnt mean that you will never let yourself love again, it just means that the next time you are going to be more cautious, and take things slower. If it is you who is afraid, I dont blame you! Just remember not to let yourself take what one person did to you out on everyone else, there is someone out there who is right for you, but unfortunately, it might take some heartaches to find them. Thats the spice of life. If it is someone you like, let them take it slow. The best thing you can do it let them see that you understand what they have been through, and want to help to make it right, by showing them their are still some good hearted girls/guys out there. Either way, good luck! Love will find you when you least expect it!

Yeah because falling out of it is like falling from a cliff, and hitting edge after edge after edge, and it never ends. It hurts. People are afraid of that pain. The pain made them forget the joy that it gave them. And they're pain also made them pessimistic into thinking that everyone would turn out like that. SO they're afraid of falling in love.

I fell in love with someone who kept one foot on the ground - so to speak - so she wouldn't fall. It ruined things, ultimately, because I'm quite intense.
Being called a "friend who I just get to kiss, cuddle and play with" was one of the worst things I have ever heard while in a relationship.
I hope one day she realises the mistakes she has made, and finds true happiness with someone who can make her happy.
What I'm trying to say is...time conquers all; and love isn't too far behind. =]

yes, im a perfect example of such a case. my overall experience with men as a friend or a lover has not given me the best feeling about falling in love cause men seem not to be serious when it comes to relationships. maybe its just me though. i just know that as much as i would love to be married, i dont see it happening for me because im too afraid to give my all to someone ever again.
