do people fall in and out of love?

I personally think when you fall OUT of love, you were never really IN LOVE.  There are men I thought I loved and in a year it wore off and I couldn't get away fast enough.  These, I think, are infatuations.  Every time you date someone it seems better than the last one.  It is just new and sometimes we mistake those feelings for love.  When you are truly in love, you don't fall out.  You may not be with that person for whatever reason, but you will always love them with all your heart.  It took me half my life to find the man I married and love.  Now I know what it feels like.  I hope you find true love in your lifetime, it's fantastic.

The very fundamental thing we find in love is being liked and be very comfortable in a relation. And this act of mutually impressing each other may not be perpetual. This is where the discretion about true love comes. Its not really necessary that the person who gets irked or infuriated makes you feel not loved. Its the amount of our own patience and understanding we offer in return to his or her mood swings. Sounds tough... But believe me... Its the only way to retain and preserve love. Though love is generated from heart and definitely must not be a product of brain... one must not ignore the subtle hints given by brain too. Not to interpret the cautions in a negative way but to protect our loved one from possible errors and fallacies. Love is a strenuous journey if it needs to be navigated though impatience and misunderstanding. But at the end of the day if one believes that we truly love someone.... any sacrifice offered to make them happy is worthy of all those cherished moments we experienced and enjoyed with that person.

NO DEAR PEOPLE LOVE THE PEOPLE WITHOUT GETTING THEIR LOVE.  ONLY THAT IS CALLED LOVE.

As we grow older our values and beliefs change.  If you fall in love with someone at a young age and the grow and mature in the same ways as you do, yes I believe you can fall in love and stay in love.  Love grows over time, and gets stronger and stronger.  To answer your question yes I believe you can love another at any age in a variety of different capacities.

No, but it happens, love/marriage gets old, just keep in mind it might happen to everyone.

Our understanding of the emotion love is limited.  I do not believe that animals can fall in love with people in the traditional sense of the word.  Animals can have an affection for people, but our understanding of that affection is questionable at best.

It depends how many times and how old are you? I never believed in love at first sight but the night I met my boyfriend the first time I knew he was the one for me.  He completely rocked my world. I never had felt like that about anyone and then the next few days I was struggling to figure out why I felt like that about someone.  Now I still feel the same way and better than I did before. So if it is several times no it is not normal and you probably not falling in love.

I think most do in fantasy.  But if they love their spouse, they know the hurt it would cause.  So they come back to reality and love their spouse.

I think in a long marriage you go through that in cycles. You cant always be in love deeply and passionatly ALL the time. There are times when you just really care for someone, love them like a friend, but do not have the deep, passionate feelings you used to. But it does come back if you care for and respect the person you have chosen. Stress, problems and work can be hard on love. \n\nBut I think it is a shame so many people give up when they lose those "in love" feelings for awhile. They usually do come back, sometimes with an even deeper love than before, and dating is the pits. The grass isnt always greener. What you have might be the best your going to get!

Fools do fall in love because love is emmotional.

Have all yahoo users abandoned proper English?\n\nIf you meant, "Does everyone fall hard in love at some point in their lives", then the answer is NO.  Not everyone.  In my opinion it is a gift to go through life without falling hard in love.  It allows a person to remain more authentic, and true to their life's purpose.\n\nNow, if you meant, "Does everyone fall in love at some point in their difficult lives," again the answer is no.  I think everyone LOVES at some point, at least those of us who are not psychopaths.  But not everyone falls in love.  Some people don't even believe in love (in the medieval sense you've alluded to).

There's no set time on how long people will be in love....and in fact if you ever truly love someone...it doesn't just go away. If "love" goes away, then it was NEVER true love to begin with.

You keep falling and eventually fall in love, thats how it goes. Remember God is always there for you, in good times and bad times.

I am not sure that feelings change. Situations change and that affects the intensity of those feelings, but not the actualy quantity. You can love someone and learn to hate them, but you never actually stop loving them. If things are not good, unhappyness accrues and in some cases outweight the love feelings, which is why relationships are a lot of work. I also think that attraction diminishes and many people mistake that for diminished feelings, but it's just attraction. It's there, you just need to work hard at it.

People in love will follow someone even if ordered to jump out of a plane without a parachute.  Love is blind.\nSometimes people in love don't see the truth nor evil for what it is.\nEven when over 2,800 of our own people are sent to their deaths for nothing.

Not always. It should not hurt when you fall in love, thats the good part. Its falling out of love that sucks. There will be more. there will be othere. Time will heal your pain.

I think falling 'out of love' is because people change as they grow older. What you want and what makes you happy when you are 18-20 drastically changes by the time you hit 26-30. A lot of times when you start discovering new things that you like or want to do in life, and your partner does the same, you just start to not feel as close as you once did. Relationships and staying in love take a lot of work. If  you don't work on it, you go from being in love, to just loving the person, to feeling like just friends or roomates again, and finally you just might as well be single! You can try to rekindle the relationship, which is just like starting from the begining and re-getting to know the person and who they have become and let them know who you've become and sometimes, you can rekindle and fall back in love. Or you can find out that you don't have anything in common anymore and want different things out of life and split up. It is a whole lot easier to stay in love with someone if you meet later in life... late 20's at least.....because you already know what direction you are moving in life and you have a general idea of who you are and what you want in life. When you are young, you think you know those things, but a lot of the time, those things change.
