How do I stop myself from falling in love?

Why would you want to stop it?! Falling in love is amazing and terryfing. We give everything of ourselves and expect that the other one will treat it with kindness - sometimes it happens (greater times), sometimes it doesn't (awful times). Last time I fell in love it was with a guy who lives in the other side of the ocean. He fell for me as well. Did it hurt? Sure. But, at the same time, the feeling of love someone that intensely and being in love in return is something that would never tread. Love is risky, but so as life.

You can't, but you CAN find a way of dealing with the fact that the love is not meant to be, or not good for you

Distancing yourself from them often works. As with anything to do with love though its not guaranteed to work. Perhaps focussing on their negatives might also stop infatuation in its tracks. Sometimes though you just have to wait it out.

It all depends on how we define love in our lives. Falling in love is generally considered a healthy sign that our heart is functioning at optimum Input/Output levels. This is how I see it. When we are able to give and receive love at equal levels with a significant other, usually someone of similar interests and goals, then the grounds are set for falling in love. So why would we want to stop ourselves from having this awesome experience? Perhaps this is the question people ask when they have been hurt by the experience and simply do not wish to open up their heart to feel the pain of losing out at the end. A broken heart however, can be mended and made whole again only by having learnt and grown from the experience, thereby making it stronger and much more able to endure the challenges it brings. Stopping ourselves from falling in love only makes us more likely to be lonely. So look for ways to expand your love and try new ways of expressing and receiving it. In fact, being in love does not only mean we have a significant other by our side. We can find ways of experiencing love in our community, church, career, family, friends, neighbors, etc. There are great people everywhere. Just be open to love and let it fill your heart in its variety of forms.

Make sure that you really know the person you think you like. And make sure he or she knows you. And I mean the REAL you. Don't change for them unless you really want to.

In my case it was valuing the friendship above the romantic relationship. I sensed that the other person did not share my romantic love feelings - in fact they made it clear. But I enjoyed her company and felt at ease around her.

I don't think you can stop yourself from falling in love, "it's not like I can choose who I can fall in love with" , just let it happen just don't get too attached

It's hard to keep yourself from falling in love. However, if you are in a position where you can't be in a relationship, just accept your feelings and put them in a safe place in your mind. Acknowledge their existence, but don't dwell on them.

You can try to avoid the person at all costs, find someone else, or there really isn't an answer, unfortunately.

Recognize the love and be honest with yourself. Then make an effort to either be with that person or stay away from them if you cannot shake the feelings and circumstances won't work out for you two to be together.

One way guys. Sit alone, contemplate, is this person really worth it? Forsee the consequences, and please focus on your pride Love is strong, it can cure and it can kill. After an unsuccessful realtion, part of you dies inside, dont try to revive it by filling the blank with toxic again. Live and take your mind off of this friends will help, for 3 months of love are gonna take you way more than that to recover after a breakup. "Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me" keep that in mind

If you have set the intention that you don’t wish to love again, then you probably won’t. Because that intention is there, you just won’t be interested in people in that way. If you don’t believe anyone is worthy of your love, life tends to present you with people and situations that reflect and serve as evidence of your beliefs. But if falling in love is a desire of yours, and you believe it’s possible and that someone is worthy, even if only in your subconscious, then it would be very difficult to stop it from happening. There are ways to avoid intimacy with people, and I’m not just talking about sex but emotional intimacy as well. Many people are good at avoiding emotional intimacy by default, and chances are that you are too if you have really made up your mind not to fall in love. I don’t feel it would be beneficial to some to close down entirely to the possibility of romantic love, but more to open up to the belief that you are capable of falling in love with someone who will love you back and be available for you. Most who wish not to love again do so because they have been hurt and they believe that will inevitably happen again if they love someone else. So it’s more a matter of healing those wounds, setting your intention, and altering your beliefs and behavior so that you can attract the right kind of love – if indeed romantic love is for you.

you can't! ask yourself it it is real love or just a puppy/calf love. i personaly have a lot of them

You can't help falling in love, but if you feel like that cut all communication with this person ...

Love is a feeling, and feelings are okay, feelings are on the inside and you cant really stop any of them from happening especially love, what you can do though is ask yourself if the person you are falling in love with is really truly the best possible healthy choice for your life. No matter who you are your life has value and you need to credit that to yourself. so make sure the people you allow into your life are healthy choices and remember, when you are with someone, its best not to think that they are doing you a favor by being with you, they aren't, you both are granting each other the precious gifts of your shared memories and lives together

Based on my own experience, I used to fear love. It took my last relationship to realize,I do not fear love, I feared the breakup and pain that came after. I know now I enjoy love and going into a relationship with the best,positive outlook can make for a better relationship. Pain happens and makes our heart sad temporarily,but it also makes you a stronger person.

You should try to spend time with friends. Come out. Put your mind to busy with other things, it will come as good groove a little socializing.

In my personal experience, there were a few ways that I successfully stopped myself from falling in love. I would make a pro and con list as to why I feel the relationship would never work. If it's an acquaintance you're having feelings for a pro / con list would definitely be suitable. However, if it's a really close friend I would write down my feelings for them on paper (this too can work with the acquaintance) and tear it up or burn it... Usually that'll somewhat help you. If you feel yourself falling for them more day by day it's perfectly fine to spend some time away from them to process your emotions, but don't ignore them! If all else fails and you know you're in love, just tell them how you feel and clear the air. It will make you feel so much better...

Why would you want to stop yourself falling in love... The heart controls that.. Plus love can be a wonderful yet dangerous thing! Embrace it if it's a healthy natural love... Life is about taking a step in a positive direction and making the most out of whatever situation you find yourself in.

Falling in love is something natural. Something that your body does without your mind knowing. One simple thing you can do is to simply acknowledge it and be true to your feelings rather than ignoring it. It's one of the best way to discover yourself on a deeper level

There is more to falling in love than one may imagine. Love is described as a strong feeling of emotion towards... But what exactly is the cause of that feeling? Accepting what you feel and answering why you feel that way is a way to answer the question ; "How do i stop myself from falling in love."

That's hard, I would even say quite impossible. Because falling in love is something you can't controll, you just fall, without even realizing. And when you realize, that's when it's already to late. The human race is a species who needs to be loved, and feel loved, and you can't stop that. I think a lot of people wish they could stop it, but that's life. You'll have your ups and downs with love, but it just makes you the person you are today.

Of the many things in life we have no control over, the best of these is Love, never stop yourself falling in love because you may regret something.

Love is a strong word and is often confused with infatuation or attraction. When you fall in love ,you don't get a feeling to stop yourself. So if you have a need to stop yourself, it is probably not love .

You don't. You can choose not to act on feelings of love, but loving someone isn't a choice. It's a programmed response that I truly don't believe we have control over.

You cannot stop that. If you fall in love, you fall in love. But you can handle yourself in different ways.

You cannot stop it. it's human nature silly. A better way is to control it and handle it well. Don't get too carried away and do not do rash things. Even though in love, you should still think rationally :)

I'm going to be honest I don't think you really can, unless you disconnect yourself from your emotions. :)

I don't think you can its just an automatic human reaction i think. It's like purposely trying to stop your thoughts and that can be hard

You can't. It's just something natural that happens. It can't really be controlled. You can try to, thought I wouldn't know how to.
