[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you never fall in love? What exactly is wrong with you??[/quote]

[b]Doesn't mean something is wrong with her.

I know people who seem to constantly fall in love, flitting from brief affair to brief affair, with huge emotional losses when it is over. That worries me more in terms of mental health than never falling in love[/b].[/quote]

Amen to the bolded. I have been in love, but only a couple of times. When I do fall, it's a long-term situation - I'm loyal like a dog, willing to put in the effort to try to make things work, and it takes me a while to get over, even if I know it's for the best that it does end.

People who jump from relationship to relationship (aka serial monogamists, with little/no time in between relationship) scare the stuffings out of me. If it's that easy for them to fall in love, what is so special about their current partner? Why would they stay and try to work things out when it gets hard (as it always will), when they can so easily find a replacement?

If you genuinely think there may be some unrealistic expectations holding you back, then yes, it's probably good to look into that (possibly with a therapist). But if you honestly just haven't met anyone who you would consider sharing a future with/ you would throw yourself in front of a bus to save, maybe you just don't fall in love easily or haven't met enough people that you've found one to fall in love with. Continue dating, especially more actively, if love is what you want, but don't beat yourself up about it.
