Not but you can control how much you feed it, like any other obsession. Not saying love is an unhealthy obsession, but what about if you have inappropriate love (say for a married person or someone you know is bad news for you). You have the power to control how much you expose yourself to them, how much you distract yourself from thinking about them.etc. I don't buy it's TOTALLY out of your control. I've had crushes but I don't think I've been truly in love. I think that requires a level of caring about the other person that comes from spending a lot of time with them. I believe in 'infatuation' at first sight but not 'love at first sight.' A difference exists.
You want to die when your love breaks up with you. But then you pick up the snotty tissues and take a bath then eat eddy's icecream....hate men....."Then you move on, but have hang ups that you try to battle."
I believe (and this is MY opnion) that there is a HUGE difference between being in love & loving someone. I LOVED my wife & LOVED my ex-gf. Yet none of them compared to the women I'm with now. Does that mean I can't fall in love with someone else IF things go south with this women?
At this point in my life I can't say if that's possbile or not. I guess anything is possible.

After all this time I don't get the difference between 'infatuation' and 'being in love'. Unless people confuse the two. It's all just friggin' terminology!

Like with anything else you have to experience it to know the difference.

The two are completely different. Infatuation is euphoric...being carried away...all-consuming, sparks fast and burns out early.
Love is...secure, peaceful, intense but calming and contented.
No one can really explain this to you...hopefully you'll fall in love one day and then you'll get it.
How do I even get to know a girl enough to fall in love with her?
It's like all I get are glimpses, not even to just have a crush on someone.
How can you truly fall in love with somebody you don't know?
Is it love at first sight or infatuation at first sight?
Women are so busy these days they don't give you an opportunity to get to know them. No wonder relationships are so shallow and sex-based.
This is going to sound really lame but you'll know I can't put into words that would make any sense. It's something that words fail to express I wish I could tell you when it hits you.

You spend far too much time on this forum to ever meet a girl.
