Yes, according to me, fear is an important part of love. Its human nature, which many people may not accept frankly. Only when we love people, we have the fear of losing them.

Fear has nothing to do with love itself (which is your truly wanting others to be unconditionally happy), but with your own egoistical wish that others should love you. If you think you love someone but only do so because you want something back (like love, appreciation, gratitude, or you just want to make a great impression as being a good and loving person), then it will always be mixed with fear (of not getting what you want back), but if the love is true and uncinditional, you will have no reason at all to fear anything, because you don't risk anything.
If you feel your love is mixed with fear, you're probably mistaking desire for love. And that's sure very common!

Fear is fear
love is love
Fear is of the body/mind, fear is an illusion to keep you bound in the same old patterns.
Love is of the "spirit/soul", love is the glue that holds the universe together, love is the attracting force moving in the universe.
The two are "poles" apart.
Fear is not a part of love.
To love, fear does not exist.
To love, love is only.
To live only in love (as spirit/soul) fear has no hold.
So to your question, no, definitely, absolutely, totally, not
Fear is not an important part of love??? no way at all.

Fear is the opposite of love. However, what we often mistake for love, our attachment or attraction to another person, often involves fear, the fear that we will lose them, especially to someone else (jealousy is a form of fear), and from that we feel less. This feeling that we are insignificant or that no one loves us comes from the fear that we are unlovable. The only cure for that fear is self-love. We must learn to love ourselves first.
Love, in my humble opinion, is best defined as an action that we take, and it is not dependent upon anything outside ourselves. It is not dependent especially on how we feel at a given moment. Unfortunately, that is not the conventional definition of love.

Yes. But it's gotta be a healthy fear. The fear has to make u want to do everything u can to please the one u love. But it shouldnt rob u of who u are, or ur self respect. And, if the love puts even more pressure on u, then ur love for them will turn into fear and anger. Then the love u felt will disappear. A healthy fear is nice, but beyond that, its a poison, and will be very damaging.

I just can not see where fear has any part of love, in fact it is the lack of love. In some cases, need can be mistaken for love & therefore fear can be present. But real love, no I just can't make the connection. Sorry.

Probably not important, but it has a huge role in it. It is the fact that you sometimes feel too exicited or so in love that you start to have some fear, like of being dumped or of how things might end up growng between the two of you.
It is totaly normal, but you must not show it. You might scare the other person in front of you, or that he/she might not feel sure about you. You just say what you have. Try to take things in the slow way. Thats the BEST way.

This is a very tough one, let me try and give you a reasonable answer. First of all we have to understand that love necessarily means a feeling of deep attachment with a person or any earthly entity. This kind of love or attachment can only lead to disappointment in the long run since we always have this feeling of insecurity hovering upon us that what we love should not be taken away from us. Only love with the divine is free of any fear, it is a feeling of total surrender to GOD. So now it depends on you what kind of love are you talking about. And please I am sure you know the difference between love lust and infatuation.

Yes. I am absolutely positive that I love my boyfriend. However, I am also often scared that something will go wrong. The love part our relationship is full of joy but doubts are a natural part of existence. Ignorance may be bliss for some people but not for me. It is also possible to be lonely in love. Love doesn't define how well a relationship is. Love is also, in most cases, not perfect.
