no one is afraid of love, we are afraid of the rejection and the breakup. love is the easy part, it is everything that follows love that is hard.

As I see it,it is a function of "self" preservation. I have been on my own for the last year or so and the thought of getting involved in a relationship (other than platonic) scares the crud out of me. I know I am big boy and, and, and but just the thought of getting to "know "someone from scratch and working through the whole relationship thing... phew no I am just not ready.
My ex and I are great buddies and we get on well but we needed to find our own paths in life. Call it the empty nest syndrome if you like. Its not that I was traumatized or anything to that effect.. so I cannot say that I was emotionally hurt in any way whatsoever. Our separation was a mutual decision taken for the good of both of us.
Still, even as an adult I will think twice before getting involved in the "games of love". Superficial / platonic is good right now and I am very happy with that. There are times that I am in need of TLC but that is balanced by my interests in music, conservation, fauna and flora and all things bright and beautiful.

I am not afraid to love, however, I think a lot of people are afraid of the hurt that loving can cause. Personally, I think the love that is returned is much greater than the hurt that loving can cause.

Not afraid to love but afraid to get hurt so love is usually avoided.

I don't know where this assumption comes from that the group you signify as "we" (human beings as a whole, Americans, etc) fear love. Love, the hyper-stylized ideal mixing Eros with commitment and a huge dollop of sentimentality, is alive and well. There are so many examples of love all around, from large, ridiculous examples such as the massive wedding ceremonies to tiny acts of human kindness, heroic and fleeting. The problem lies in the fact that we do not possess the advertising/art driven idea of love, the movie star kiss, the eternal black and white shot De Beers commercial idea of love. Love isn't something that happens then stays eternally. It is an organic process between individuals which waxes and wanes, with faults, with pain.

I am not afraid to love people. If you are talking about falling in love with people, then I think maybe it's because so many people are afraid of being hurt. It could be that at some point in their life, growing up, they were hurt by someone they cared about deeply, or saw someone they cared about be hurt by another and that has caused them to fear falling in love with someone.

i believe that many people are so afraid of believing in happiness or love that they block the possibility from their lives so that they can never have to face a reality where that happiness is gone from their lives. Also i think people are afraid to miss out; if you fall for mr wrong you may ultimately miss out on falling for mr right.

I am not afraid. Maybe some are because it hurts especially when you trully love the person. The ache makes us afraid because it is hard to loose the one we love.
