-266 Love isn't some magical emotion, it's a decision. Anyone can convince themselves that they're in love, it's nothing special. Amirite?

I guess you're right in that people can convince themselves that they are in love, but i think that true and honest love is something special.

There's no fucking "true love"; all love is love, and all love is true - if it ain't true, it ain't love. The very definition of love is simply affection greater than like, and since no one but yourself even knows what your emotions are, if you think you're in love, you're in love.

Sort of, I mean you can hardly say "I am now in love with Laura" and then suddenly you're in love with Laura. But it's also not like love is specially reserved for one person who is your soul mate, and won't come out until you find them.

Well it takes more than a split second decision to be in love. You can decide you like someone or decide someone's attractive, but it takes more time to be 100% attracted to them. (in my opinion)

Couldn't have said it better myself. But prepare for a chorus of "nooooo! love is ooo speshul!"

Ok, go fall in love with your toilet.

Love is something special, but if you think about it, we're a species who is here just for the purpose of reproduction. Same with animals and they don't fall in love (most of the time). So, you're right in a way..but love still is something special once you've found it.

For me it is yes and no, the romantic side of me likes to believe that love is all magical and stuff, but the highly logicaly focused side of me knows that it is just hormones and belief.

that's not true. I've tried it before. It doesn't work. You can't control who you do or don't care about, or want to be with all the time.

i don't think the OP is saying that you can make yourself fall in love, they're saying that anyone can convince themselves that they're in love that being said, it's not nothing special. why do you think there are so many songs and movies and books about it? i'm not a 12 year old girl saying "no omg im in luv nd its awwsome <3" i just know that it is sort of a magical feeling, even if that sounds lame

Buddy, if you can decide who you love or don't love, I'll pay every freaking cent I have for you to teach me how.

If i could decide who i loved or didn't love, life would be amazing.

I'm torn on this post; I agree that love is a decision, to care about someone no matter what. However, falling IN love IS something very special. And it's not simple and quick, either. >_>
