It's risky.

Just kidding. Most people don't want to take chances after meeting a complete stranger.

For me it's the emotional risks it entails.

I go through a lot of emotional torment when trying to get over someone I like, I am terrified at how I would feel if it was someone I was in love with. I'm really afraid of just becoming someone I am not/was never meant to be or someone I really don't want to be. It also takes me a long time to move on from one person to the next.

The whole "idea" of love seems nice, but the real thing could be very different. I am not opposed to seeing what it feels like, because I have never felt it before. I am just not sure I would handle the loss of it. I imagine you have be an incredibly strong individual to handle the real thing.

Either way I am not concerned about it at the moment. I don't believe it'll happen for a very long time for me. When/if it happens, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Exactly. Some people are afraid of pain.

an interesting book on the topic, detailing many different personality types and why they don't/can't establish relationships ... "The Dance-Away Lover" articles by numerous authors, available at amazon and other retailers.

IMO, well worth the read to understanding personality types, even if some of it is just "pop psychology".

IT is not the falling in love that is scary, it is losing that which you love which is the scary part.
