2007-07-22 03:25:27 · update #1
I don't really think that a person has much choice in whether they fall in love again .... the fall part seems to be primarily chemical, whereas the growth and maintenance of love are a more emotional and spiritual consideration. One can choose to ignore love and thus avoid love's intrigue .... but why? The ability to love and be loved is one of life's greatest pleasures. Certainly it has the potential for great pain, but I will promise you this: if you ever feel real honest true love, and the pain which inevitably occurs (such as death or injury, etc) you will never turn your back on love, because the joy of it far outweighs any of the negative aspects. Love, as a word is terrifically overused in our culture. It is used to express great like, great lust, great need, great want, etc. True love is not that. True love is a never ending need and desire for the happiness and contentment of another, which in turn, supplies your happiness and content. The trick is, to last, love requires a lifetime commitment. With out the fertilizer (so to speak) of commitment, love does have a tendency to struggle. Imagine love this way: a single bush in the garden, watered, fertilized, pruned, talked to, protected from the harshness of the environment - this bush thrives and is beautiful. Now picture the same bush without all the caring things and the result is what happens to love without commitment to it's life long wellbeing. See what I mean?
So, my final answer :o) is that no, we cannot fall out of love, because it is our nature to love and seek love, but, through selfishness and lack of commitment, we can kill it.

You ask if humans can we fall out of love, and why. I think you are asking about romantic love.
My answer is yes, we can. Humans can fall in love with someone, then discover the person is not as expected. This happens all the time. Also, there is something as growing apart. I am a better person now than I was ten years ago; I learned from experience. It happens to us all. Two people marry in love, then continue growing as individuals. One day, they see the people they have become have too little in common. They may see that if they were to meet as they are now not only they would not marry, they would not be friends. Such people divorce. There are other circumstances where humans fall out of love.
As to the second part, to never fall in love again, yes, it can happen. Sometimes we are too hurt from a love experience, and decide never to try again. Sometimes, our lives are too loaded, and we may not have emotional space in our hearts for anybody else. There are other circumstances where we retain the capacity to love, but where it is not exercised.

love changes and sometimes we grow apart so yes you can fall out of love. as far as never loving again that depends on the person, if you are happy with yourself and don't want to have to deal with a partner to explain where you want to go and what you want to do then don't fall in love. Happiness is love of yourself and if you can handle that you would be just fine.

I believe we can fall out of love because we get easily bored of habits and we take the other for granted so we are so selfish that we do not think twice and try o make our love last and just let our love go....
we have to work on relationships and respect the other and keep the flame there if one lets it burn off it's too late....
have a great day...

If it's true love, you can never fall out. Think about it, if you fall truly in love with somebody, and you break up, and you date other people, are you still going to have feelings for that person? Yeah, most likely, so you can never fall out of TRUE LOVE

Falling in love makes as much sense as falling into anger or falling into guilt.
Falling out of these emotions are just as unrealistic.
Love is just the fear of being alone.

I believe that love in an action, not just a feeling. When you are in "love" with someone, you treat them differently than someone for whom you don't have that intense a feeling. To keep love alive, a concerted effort must be made otherwise the love just fades.

Love is emotional importance and respect we feel for someone in our heart with all the good and bad of his nature.
Some feelings may overcome the love for a shorter or longer time but it can not be wiped out forever; provided it is love and not temptation. You will feel a sadness in your heart even if you kill someone for whom you felt love in your heart. When a human kills another human; in normal state of mind he feels sadness because of his instinct to love other human.

i think the type of love you have for a person can change. in my opinion, if you truly love someone, then there'll always be a place in your heart for them, no matter how your relationship changes. sometimes, married couples complain that they fall out of love, but they still have a decent marriage. perhaps they're not in love with one another anymore, but they still love them, & care for them.
