Do you believe that you can choose who you love?

Beings that today is Valentine's day... I've been thinking about a lot. Does love seem to be instinct/chemistry? Or do you think that you can learn to love someone?

I don't think you can choose who you fall in love with, but you can choose what you do about it. When you fall in love with someone, you have to choose to either follow your head or your heart. That's the bit you have the choice about. I can control myself pretty well though. I will only get into a relationship with a guy who I know will treat me well and who I think I can treat well too.

Hi there mamabeezy! =) For me love should be a instict and a chemistry. Because the theme for love is like an equal and a fair relationship. The both couple must have an equal feelings for each other so they can make their relationship lasts. Like my couple, he told me before that before choosing a girl he really should know that they have a chemistry and he found it in me. I think about learning to love someone is possible but we all know that it is a hard and a tough job. What if it just ended that you really can't love the person. You tried your best but still you could not right? You'll just make the person disappointed.

Well with me any day I can learn to love someone. This is my motive for living. It is possible to learn to love anothet person. If you do so, it will make you feel good inside, and God will be pleased with your actions. Love heals all wounds! Happy Valentine's Day!

Yes you can choose who you love. There are times when love just seems to sneak up out of nowhere but it's still a choice. If you believe that you can control your own destiny. yo can make up your mind to fall out of love with someone who is bad for you or you can learn to love someone that loves you. I'm not saying it's easy but it is possible.

I don't think you can choose your love because it is a action/reaction happening through your heart. Though i do not belive in love at first sight, the fact remains that your chemistry starts working at the first sight itself, which will emerge and declared as love, in due course.
