I do believe that a lot of people can relate into this topic. Some people claimed that if you are in love, you will change. The manner of knowing that life may bring bad or good, that person will turn into a new leaf. Can personality overturn you for having different persona?

Love can change many things and the feeling is like magic when we fall in love.I'd love to seek for someone who is understanding and personality is one of the factors in this world.Everyone is like a leaf and totally different.So this works to me personally.Thank you for this topic.

I do not think so. love is just making us blind and for that we may say lots of promises and feeling to change for our partner. but after some time, we will notice that we can not change that and even nobody has value that we make sort of some changes.
But I have seen some honest people, even if they are not in love, just for responsibility on what they promise, they have changed themselves to be better, and to make happier life.
they are logical. but I hate those who are just emotional. and then misused the name and value of love jsut for some selfish feelings.

People change on their own... whatever their experience that made them want to change i think it is never only about LOVE. People change for many reasons, People change when they realize something, people may change when they want to live a better life, people change when they need to adapt, people change -- and everyone changes for so many reasons and intentions and agenda... and yes i think i would say i do believe in people changing because they have loved.
Others change to be better people as they have seen how wonderful life is because they are loved.
Others however changed and become bitter because love has hurt them, the world they see as wonderful before have become different, sad, and bleak.

In some aspect it can change your personality but not at all. Example, when you are inlove you will wake up early to send SMS or call your partner. You will go to your work early to see your partner. Common example we will observe.

I thin yes, because i know people who have been together for a long time, they seem to look like each other already. I guess you change more and more into the person you love. As it seems, the more you care about a person, the more they affect you.

i don't think love changes your personality. i think loves gives demention to who you already are. love can help you to grow, but your personality doesn't change. i am in love and i have the same personality. i am just better version than i was before.

I personaly believe that nothing or nobody can make you do something you don't wanna do. So if you want the love to change you it will and if you don't want it it won't. Most people dream about love but are not ready for it. You know that one: ''be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it.''
From personal experience I can say that love can change you, although not significantly, it can change your actions, but it can't change your character. If you are an introverted person you will not become an extrverted one...maybe you'll just go out more or less often because you have someone who likes or doesn't like going out.
I think that it is not the love that changes us but it's us who change ourselves. If we think it's time to settle down we will if we think it is not we will not. There's teh right time in life for everything, If you meet a great person but you are not ready to get married you will probaby lose that person but you won't get married. Maybe later in life you'll regret that decision and wish you married that person because it is too late now but still nothing and nobody can make you do things you don't wanna do.

Different kind of circumstances can actually make a person change. It is not only with love can you see the difference of a certain person. When you know that a person is in love, you could see how she glows and sees everything around her as a bright, wonderful life. But once she gets broken-hearted, the glow that was once on her face will completely diminish. And sometimes, it doesn't end there. Bitterness towards everything follows, hatred and regret follows.

yes,it certainly change the person when they are in love,because i have experienced it already to change my self because i am in love,i don't even know what is the right and wrong if i am in love and all i have seen to that person is always the good.

Yes, I can relate to this topic. This month, I met a wonderful woman, unfortunately I can't make any move, since I honestly don't have the confidence to do so. First of all, she graduated with a degree from a well-known state university, and currently has a stable job, while I am still a student, in fact I am on the verge of giving up my studies. However, meeting her made me realize that if I really want her (or any other woman), I need to do my best to be the best husband/father I can be. Hence, I finally decided to leave engineering school and pursue a course that I really want, which is bs accountancy.

no... definitely not. It will not turn me to a Mother Theresa over night. but Love can bring out the best in me. IF a person in love, the person gives out the best all the best and nothing but the best. Everyone has inner goodness. I always believe that people are born with natural goodness inside so when it is cultivated by means of love it will just come out naturally without any pretensions with out anything. just like that.

yes love has the power to change a person's character.this things happen only in true love because i seen people who lost their life when they're cheated by their lover.
true love makes a person to feel what he was and makes to realize real meaning of life.

Real love can change someone from selfish to unselfish because there is someone more important to you.

Definitely, love changes me.
Just 2 months ago, I meet my EX and it seems my world is upside down.
I am married but it seems I am not because of the love I feel for this EX of mine
Some of my friends told me that I have to be careful because am married and he is married too but it seems love changed the way I even decide.

Hi shav kat: I think yes, when you love one so seriously and so deep it might motivate you to change the things you need to do it but in my opinion I think it's better to change the things we need to because we want and because we love ourselves and because of that we want to be better persons not just because the person we love want that we do it.

Yes, that's right. I believe that we'll be better when we're in love. When I know to love in the first time, I'm more confident, more braved, more more responsible ect...

Love is powerful, I give you that. But in no way can it change the person you are. It changes feelings and sometimes makes you sick or forgetful. But the core of who you are is still there. What we do in any relationship is coexist, we compromise on things. It is a give and take thing. And the other person has to be willing to accept who you are and visa versa.
