The phrase.... Love is Blind... is so very true. When we love someone we easily over look imperfections. We sometimes can not see the truth when it is standing in front of us. Why? Because we want to believe that our emotions haven't tricked us. But they usually do. When you feel a deep love for someone, you know that you want to believe them... You want to believe IN them...to have faith that whatever they tell you is the truth. Unfortunately, sometimes having this much faith and love in someone only serves to hide the truth.
When you pray God show me the truth, and he decides you need to see it. It can be difficult even then to believe that you've been had. So is it bad to believe in others? No... never stop believing, however, do not stick your head in the sand and not accept what you know is true. You can only over look so many lies before you know that it's never going to change.
When you hear lie after lie and are told, to avoid doing things because in his opinion it's best for you. That best for you is a simple way of control. If he begins to tell you to not talk to others.... to stay off the Internet and to not believe what you can plainly see in front of you... wake up.... he's afraid you'll dig a bit too deeply and destroy his world as he knows it. If out of the blue, you get an im or an email telling you things you have a tough time believing... Take a minute or two to ask, could it be this woman/man actually know this is true?
There are men and women on the Internet who are predators. They prey on innocent people who may be lonely or just very optimistic that you can find a decent loving soul in this cyber world. Be cautious...don't jump too quickly into trust. Allow them to earn it. Don't tell them too much, hold back a bit... If they say things that seem a bit off the wall, listen carefully from that point on. Chances are it's not true. If they start telling you to stay off the Internet, that they've found the One, they've been searching for. That's a control tactic to keep you from seeing that they are on sites looking for others. If you find such a person who is preying on innocent people, always down on their luck and asking to borrow...wake up...move on... they are just trying to begin a long and difficult process of bleeding you dry... when they know you've fallen in love... you are theirs.. and they will take and take until you wake up and realize sometimes too late... you've been had... Love is Blind.
There are predators... I have found two in just three short years. I am beginning to believe there's a magnet that is attracting them to me. I am open for constructive criticism to learn how to better protect myself. If you'd like to know the screen names of the individuals whom have taken me .. by all means, ask. I have nothing to hide, but they will continue to earn their living off of unsuspecting men and women.
He may say.... never talk about me, you can yell at me or say anything to my face, but never talk to others about me. Wonder why? I now know. He is making a living lying to kind hearted souls and taking. My credit card paid for so much for him, and in doing what I have been instructed to NOT do, I have learned that others have paid for the same things I have. With cash... so yeah, you can make a decent living off of others...
God is watching... he's marking this in his book... and when you stand before me and preach to me... God is listening, he hears how you are using HIM for your gain... When you open your mouth and you find that you no longer know what the truth is... smiles... you've finally hit bottom. I believe lying is a type of addiction, you have to keep telling more and more to feed the monster within that fails to allow you to see the simple truth. One day you will find your match.... and when you do, you will know, God is with her and her strength with his is not going to be a hill of beans to your lies.

Hello(:
That's a good question. I think love is blind because of things that the other party does at first, which makes us smitten. I understand how you feel, I've broken up with my ex for a few months now, and looking back on all the things that have happened, he is indeed and idiot, and that's not only because I say so.
I think us as women have to vigilant(did I spell that right) against cheats. It is very hard to be discerning when you've been sweet spoken to, which is something I think all of us have to work on. I think you've given all the readers of this question some very vital advice, and I thank you on behalf on all the people who have ever had romantic love for anyone else.
These "predators" you speak of. They are from the internet? Thanks for being open to critisism, if you will consider the following 'critisism'.
You should never trust ANYBODY online. Its a psychological thing. I'm no rocket psychologist but I do philosophise that people are totally different to strangers when they are online.
Firstly, every one has their insecurities, and they would do whatever they can to seem like they were perfect online. These 'predators' have probably started like that, then after discovering that people actually believe their identity, exploit the other person's trust and cheat money, love, etc.
Secondly, these people are jobless hos and obviously take pleasure from others' pain. I have no word to describe them, they are just such...bastards.
God is indeed marking in his book. And he will continue to mark these people, and when they pass on and you flip to their page, it'll be nothing but a page of lines and squiggles, pointing to where they'll be off to.
Don't worry, if law cannot stop them, God will. And hopefully, so will their conscience.
Once again I thank you for asking this question because I haven't had the chance to feel so mature for a long time.
Good luck, and stay strong!

Wow your a great writer, and I am not, so please forgive my run on thought, blokish writing style. I too have a phrase that I think is very true it says "ignorance is bliss".
I think I have a few answers for you. First let me say I think lust, dependency, and hope, may be blind, but love is light, as you will see. I think , in your statement "love is blind" you may be mistaking the word "love is" for "you are". What may seem as clear as day to others around you may seem as clear as mud to you. I noticed as I read your piece that it seemed as though your faith was shattered, but you still held the same beliefs. Why? If you have had two similar experiences, that were not good, in three years you need to look for the similarities in the these people, and how they came into your life. My guess is that once you get out side of the denial that you are in pain you will have a much more clear picture of what I am saying. A wise man once told me "pain finds pain" see if you can relate that to your situations. This wise man also told me many other things that relate to bad relationships based on dependency. If you find this interesting or help-full and you want more please contact me and I will try to help you some more.

Love is blind means that you are not supposed to use judgment when you are deciding who is worthy of love.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings

Wow. That is very touching and I believe and agree with every one of your words. I am currently going through that phase where we are both from an entirely different background, we speak different languages and have different cultures, but I love him so much it hurts and I can't see myself with anybody else in the years to come.
Only problem is, he still hasn't noticed me. Hopefully he will. Love is blind so maybe he will fall in love with me too. Time will tell. Hopefully.

I'm sorry to hear how unkind people take advantage of some unsuspecting souls. Please be more careful next time.
Love can only blind us if we allow it. So take control and be not controlled. More than anything, we need to love ourselves first. Love for others should just come second.
