I knew some people who wasn't able to experience falling inlove. Some even grow old alone. I have a friend a girl and a boy. One is within the age 45+ and the other is on 30's. Both never experienced to fall in love. They never enter any kind of relationship other than friendship. I know that they are normal human being. The girl has lots of suitors while the boy is such a good looking. But the two of them admitted to me that they never feel love towards any body. Is there really such thing as not being inlove? Are they not capable of falling in love? Why they can't be in love? IS there someone out there who never experience love just like my friends? Will you tell your stories?

Really...that is so sad. these person are you talking about don't they have any friends. Don't they have any other people to meet and become interested with. I just can't understand it because normal human beings do feel attraction for other humans. Maybe these two friends of yours are destined for each other. Why don't you try to matched them together. I mean set them in to a wonderful date and maybe who knows they could fall in love. Life is useless with out love...with out experiencing love to other person. Life with out love is dull.

those people that has hard time falling in love cause they still didnt find the right person for them..and it depends to a persons taste or attitude.some people finds their perfect partner but ends up hard time looking for their true love.some people are just to busy to prioritize love in their life maybe because of financial problems..or no stable job..or too many family members..some prioritize their work rather than love maybe they find more happiness in their work rather than love.happy posting!

in our family both my mother and father side had this kind of situation...my lolo and lola and even my aunt had never been in a relationship...when i was in my college years my grandparents who are the sister and brother of my mother's father always say's that i should focus on my studies and never mind about lovelife because this will affect my career,and also my aunt always ask my suitor's what will they can give me if ever they i will be choosing them...maybe they just don't want to be hurt nor they just don't care about love and they are happy with thier family circle.

Many are not able to or willing. Because of married to their job, pain, hurt, non-trust,*whether knowing or non-knowing*, As disciple Paul said its 'good to stay single but if you cannot then marry'. I am phrasing. I feel some are called never to marry. But, many have love, they love their family, friends, but not to fall in love. Some of it also could be selfishness for to fall in love one must give of one's self, and that too is hard for some, for they are all ready happy for who and what they have became/or are. Hope this helps. This is what I have found to be the case. One last thought. One looked up to the parent, and they cannot find the one to be just like that parent. It's hard to find a double.*smile*

Love is a very mystery thing.Sometimes the boy and the girl meet first,and they fall in love each other. They are very young.

humm..Nahh..there's no one in this world that doesnt need thing called LOVE..Love was d most important thing for me..I wanted someone who would be there till the end..Maybe they're just not into this kind of stuff but i know they do felt it already!!coz we are all human to feel this..we could never show to anybody but deep down inside i know by their actions we could tell..Hmm..Maybe they're not yet ready for this..Because all of us have our own stuffs that we believed in..Some were just afraid to get hurt or anything..Or theyre just waiting for the right time and for the right one.!:)

I've also heard stories like that but I think it's just a matter of their preference of partner or maybe they think that it's not yet time for them to settle down.

I can't even imagine never having loved. I am 52 and I will admit that love does not hold the same attraction for me as it did when I was younger. But still....NEVER? I can't even imagine that.

i think that the reason why people have trouble falling in love is because of betrayal. their heart has been broken. they dont want to take the chance to falling in love, and experiencing it again.

Sometimes, if you have been hurt before, it is hard to trust another person. It can be difficult to learn how to feel safe. It is a matter of fear. Fear can hold us back. Or it may be as simple as not having gotten over an old love.For those never having experienced love, it can be sad.

You fall in love or you know you are inlove if you meet someone at the right time and in the right place. SOmetimes, it takes time for you to realize that you are indeed in love. Some people just love the feeling of being in love but they don't really love at all. "Being in love" and "inlove" are teo different things. I know a lot of person who are "old maids", one friend is now 52 and never fallen inlove as she say. She enjoyed working a lot and when she though she was really to entertain suitors, almost all her suitors were married already. I have aunts too who expereinced being in a relationship but decided to give after a tragic separation from her ex bf.

Hey ayessa. I have no clue at all. I don't have friends of that age so I am not so sure about the reason. But I admit that some people have hard time of falling in love. You know when something is easy to someone, it can be extremely difficult to others. I agree with some myloters that maybe they are hurt before, so they don't trust this now. Or maybe the right one hasn't turned up yet.

the first thing that they should love themselves first, and then they can love others, to fall in love with others. only the people who know how to love himslef can fall in love with others, to love other one and to be loved by others.

i think it depends on so many factors. by nature some people are not emotional at all to fall in love. some are such that they easily fall in love. in case of some people, due to very strong personality and all, they generally do not fall in love.

For some, an emotional insecurity will prevent someone from making a relationship. As long as they don't convince themselves yet, emotionally, it's hard for them to step on the next relationship. Some of them may cause from past traumas, some of them may hear too much of bad relationship's cases. This will make them think hundred times within thousand considerations to make a relationship. Another reason is from the exchangeable emotional satisfaction. Money is the number one, some may bargain "hard" the love with money. They may never bother about making a relationship and freely to live single. Because they feel satisfy for what they have now. If they want to rise a kid, they may adopt a kid, because they are capable of it. Their love was poured as a kid-raiser, but not looking for a partner. But an exception for those who purely walk in the clergy path and devotion to God-or-peers. Contrarily, they are even more emotionally and mentally prepared. A person who had stepped with four-headed at least will be likely less-interested with the marriage life. Not they didn't want to, but they have another consideration. This is because the older someone, emotionally one will try to avoid more new "hard-to-deal-with" business. Their emotional was fed and imbued by time, it's stuffed, and also have given them a multitude answers of they seek for. Briefly, emotional satisfaction. The above samples would be the small cases in the major reasons of why a person does not want to commit in a relationship once is four-headed. Yet, there are plenty of other explainable reasons for those who wants to start it in earlier of three-headed. It's been their choice.

i never heard of someone who doesn't fall in love. i myself, fall in love easily. maybe they just don't feel the magic yet. or maybe they are really focus on their priorities that at times they forget to look for love. there are people who are really happy and content to their lives that they opt to be single. or maybe one time they fell in love and was hurt intensely that they are now afraid to try again.

i suppose some people are just not capable to love someone else. it could be for many reasons and i really do not want to speculate on what those reason can be but i guess it is possible to go through life without ever "falling in love" but i doubt it is possible to go through life without ever experiencing other kinds of love like love of a parent or friend or sibling. i think that is all anybody really wants in this life and that is to be loved.

you know waht? maybe why they were hard for them to fall it's just because of their past..Maybe they fall before and hurt so much for that love..Sometimes if people really hurt they've learned with their ways...But sooner or later they will.. but not this time..

That is case to case basis maybe it happens that the girl did not appreciate her suitors to the point that she does not have the feelings for the other people. Or maybe it could have something to do with the environment, I mean they are not that friendly to other people.
