You have absolutely no control over who, where, why, any thing involved with being in love. I never thought i was gonna fall in love with cliff but i did, and even though we r not 2gether any more i always will love him because of how much he meant to me. Whoever your in love with is who your in love with and u shouldnht be questioning it. Its just one of those things. 8^)

i'm not actually "in love" with anyone. i just thought you could have control over it, but i wasn't sure.

No, you don't have control... it's whatever emotions you have, and your outlook on life, compared to the person you find "completes" you. It's all about people that you feel in your guts and your head that leave an impression on you. It's not about compatability or what makes sense, it's just about how good it feels.

I'm not sure. At this point in my life, I'd say yes. However, I don't believe that I've ever fallen in true love with another person, so this makes it a bit difficult to find an answer to this. I thought I'd give it a shot at an answer though.

No, because the vomeronasal (pheromone receptor) is fused to the subcortex and not the cortex.

You have no conscious decision over your attraction to others. Hyponotism might work, though.

Gotta love phenylethylamine and norepinephrine (no pun intended).

I was livejournal hopping and ended up here, and contrary to what everyone else is saying, I think you can control who you fall in love with, at least to an extent. You have control over who you want to fall in love with. You have control over the situation. You can find their faults and not love them. You can find their strong points and think they're amazing. You can chose to accept them for both. You can chose to not accept them at all. Love is hard work. You definitely have the control to make it work with who you want it to work with or make it go to shit.
