People who don't fall in love? Why?


LostSouls7

Recommended Posts

Why do you think some people never fall in love? or why some people can't fall in love?

Are they to strong ? Maybe they didn't meet anyone that is hot enough to make them have interest?

What is the reason that people do not fall in love?

It has nothing to do with anyone being hot enough. It's all about getting along with the person and having compassion, understanding, forgiveness, tenderness and mercy. It's all about the little things and is never what you expect.

It could be that they never saw it as children. They don't know what love is, they never learned it, they were never given it.

Or it could be more along the lines of asexuality. They just don't feel attracted to anyone, just like heterosexuals are attracted to those of the opposite sex, and homosexuals are attracted to those of the same sex. It's just the way they are. It's just their preferences.

OR if you want to delve into the spiritual, fate and soul mates and twin flames and stuff, maybe it's that their soul mate or twin flame that they are fated to love isn't here on earth, so they don't actually have the person they are meant to love.

If you follow fate, which is that everything is preplanned, then who you are bound to love fully is out there, and you are fated to only love them, because fate dictates you end up together. But if they die, or commit suicide, or just aren't here, then the one they are supposed to love isn't here.

Personally though, I think it has to do with preferences and stuff. Like part of their sexuality, it's just the way they are.

Antidepressants May Thwart Quest for True Love

Antidepressant drugs, already known to cause sexual side effects, may also suppress the basic human emotions of love and romance.

That SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors — the most common type of antidepressant — cause sexual dysfunction is common knowledge.

Of the 31 million adults in the United States who take the SSRIs, about 30 percent are believed to experience sexual dysfunction.

But a new theory suggests that SSRI antidepressants may also subtly alter the fundamental chemistry of love and romance,

snuffing the first sparks between two people otherwise destined to become lovers, and preventing couples from bonding.

"There’s every reason to think SSRIs blunt your ability to fall and stay in love," said Helen Fisher,

a Rutgers University biological anthropologist who has pioneered the modern science of love.

Sometimes it just works out that way, for many possible reasons.

Perhaps the person has low self esteem, and they feel they are not worthy of love from others. Some of these people are really nice, and good, but they feel that they might not match up to anyone's expectations in a relationship, and might fall short, and hurt the other person, which they would never want to do, so they avoid the whole relationship thing out of a perceived sense of love for the other person, and this is sad, because they really are so nice.

Sometimes there just isn't any likeable potential mates around, and the person is just too lazy to go out and look in new places for them, and they accept that they are lazy, and time marches on, day after day, year after year, and then it just never ends up happening.

Sometimes a person is deeply hurt as a child, and that hurt has caused a defensive wall to go up which is used to keep out any future deep contact. The person feels safe not getting deeply involved with anyone, and ends up never doing so out of fear.

Sometimes a person just plainly doesn't want to fall in love with anyone, and is happy and completely satisfied with only casual relationships and several close friendships.

Sometimes someone doesn't want to have children, for many different possible reasons, and so they avoid falling in love for fear that the other person may end up becoming pregnant, which they want to avoid at all costs.

These are but a few of the reasons why many don't fall in love.

Love comes over time; in the West at first there is sexual attraction, then cohabitation (which usually accompanies marriage) and then love. In the old days in my country the parents negotiated the bond and love usually did not come for a year or so. It most often accompanies the birth of the first child.

I think the stuff above about antidepressants is nonsense. I took them for many years and it suppressed suicidal impulses but did not effect my love nor my friendships.

Some people are comfortable with their own company, and don't require too much in the way of companionship. I think it's important to learn that about yourself when you're young, so you don't stumble into marriage thinking it's a social requirement.

I actually kinda like the idea of arranged marriages, as Frank Merton mentioned above. Wise parents may know their children better than their children know themselves, and might make better choices! It would be interesting to know the marriage/divorce statistics of arranged marriages compared to Western-style marriage.

Helen Fisher.. she write and has some good videos about love on Youtube.

She said being in love feels as intense and as good as being on Heroin....

I've never tried drugs. But I know no one has ever made me feel THAT good..

so I know I've never been in love.

I'm someone who has never experienced it, and is honestly deeply afraid of relationships. I think I'm aromantic (someone who never feels romantic love). Though other times I hope I can be like everyone else and find someone, it likely wont happen anytime soon. I don't know why, but the idea of being in a relationship makes me panic. I have super close friendships, but if its romantic I freak out. I can be pretty reclusive and awkward about touch/hugs and stuff too though.

Perhaps they're emotionally harder or have higher standards because many people date someone for a month and then declare their love to the heavens* only for it to turn bitter because they haven't given it enough time.

Aside from unnatural monogamy, some people who don't fall in love may see that in today's world it's all to easy to divorce or that sexual freedom is much more tenable which tends to chip away at the traditional 'One True Love' idea because how many people have you known who were in relationships where they would say to their partner 'I love you.' only to break up with them later - point being, love isn't exclusive and isn't as magical a thing as it's made out to be. It also tends to become obligated the longer you're with someone.

It usually starts with someone taking a chance with someone else based on knowing them for a short while or -idiotically- seeing them from across the dance floor and having a love at first sight moment. Like I said above, after two people decide to date, they may grow to like each other more or perhaps the love that needs to reciprocate becomes obligated now that they're established in each other's lives.

I myself have only ever thought I loved one person but I was a silly 16 year old and while the girl did share the same idea and she was indeed cool, I eventually realized I wasn't thinking it through enough. It's also quite strange that people will say -as they sometimes do- that 'You should get yourself a girlfriend', as if a girlfriend or boyfriend is some mandatory thing we all need - that line of thinking is pretty toxic as well because if you're just going to get a partner for the sake of getting one, where is the Love in that?

I do not want nor desire a 'partner'. Period. No and's if's or buts'.

I have zero desires to be in love.

I am soo happy not to be answering to anyone. I love jumping into my bed when I want to and not worrying about disturbing another. I like not having to include someone else in my plans. I read when and what I want, i watch on tv, what I want, when I want.. I go to bed when I want.

I feel the same way except that I don't "love" people.

I was never interested in any relationships including friends; I never dated when I was in school and had no friends either.

Am I lonely? Nope. I like doing things by myself and doing what I want, when I want and not having to ask for permission or approval.

I like peace and solitude, I mean, I don't wanna live in the sticks but when I go home I want to be by myself and if I desire contact I know where to go for it but otherwise, I am solitary.

So one reason some people never fall in love is because they are just not interested in that kind of relationship.

Whether one should remain single or marry

is a matter of how the individual

might best serve his/her highest purpose.

It is a matter of one’s calling in life.

Else wise, the person only proves self-centered.

I think there is a difference between falling in love and being in love with someone. I've loved people I wanted to marry, but I can't say I fell in love with them. And there's another aspect to this. I know who I can and can't live with. I need someone very easygoing and relaxed to sort of anchor me. I also can't find a fit with my lifestyle. I like the security and solidness of someone I can trust and who will be there for me and that's usually a reliable and conservative man. But all the reliable and conservative men I've known also want to cast me into the mold of wifey - someone who will clean the house, cook the meals, raise the kids, and go to church with him. And that definitely ain't my life. The men who understand me and are willing to appreciate rather than condemn my little quirks and allow me to fly are usually the old time hippies who take drugs and are as reliable as the man in the moon. Since I don't use drugs and want someone to depend on in an emotional crisis, well, it ain't them I want to hook up with. So there's a reason I don't let myself "fall in love" with a lot of men.

When I was younger I had a list of expectations, things I wanted and needed in life. But the older I got the smaller my list became, now to the point I no longer have one. The way I see it is if I have no expectations in life, then I never have to worry about being disappointed. And so far so good !!

OMG I know how exactly how this feels. This is kind of the same dilemma I am facing. Maybe the solution is to just date for the rest of life and not marry, and not live together either.

It might be a case of not meeting someone you love.

I decided to avoid romantic relationships altogether

whereupon I met my now husband. Apparently,

God has His reasons for our sharing our lessons

in life together. For better sometimes and for

worse other times, our being so cleaved together

this long suggests the divine glue will hold, at least,

until death do we part.
