Scared to fall in love

My relative keep asking me if I had already a boyfriend. I say no because I don't have enough time for such a nonsense. The truth is, I'm just scared to fall in love and enter into a relationship because I am afraid of getting hurt someday. How about you? Are you also scared to fall in love and get hurt?

Well, first off, your relative shouldnt be pressuring you to get into a relationship if your not ready. Rushing into a relationship just to be in one almost always turns out bad. Second, If you've been hurt before, then I dont blame you for being scared. I'm scared too, I've been hurt a few times and it really leaves its scars on you. You have to keep your head up and keep trying or spend the rest of your life alone. Sure you might get hurt, but if you find Mr. Right it will all be worth it! Hugs, Tianna

yes coz ive been there. and as much as i know that no matter what happen i would still get up and move on if it didn't work out again, i just don't wanna go thru that phase again... it scares the hell out of me really. thats the reason why i have this walls with me. i just couldn't let go easily. or maybe i still have yet to find "the one".

It is well-said through these responses that love is indeed a risk. Also, Love is not all about being happy, it entails pain and tough obstacles too. But that's the good thing about it, having happiness and pain, allows you to become a better person. We all love with the possibility of getting hurt. But don't be afraid, it's only normal. I was also afraid before but loving someone, even though I got hurt a few times gave me a sense of happiness that I know I wouldn't find if I didn't take the risk.

you should really take risk in falling in love..it is better to feel love and be loved than never to feel at all..heartaches are marks that proves that you have loved..love is the most precious thing that you could experience to a person.when you are in love,it is closer to magic.*wink*

Well, Love is a risk..you might end up getting hurt or you might end up with the right person and be happy. Do not be scared love and be loved. Love is such a wonderful thing. Its better to love and end up hurt in the end rather than not loving at all because you're scared. Love and enjoy it, if it ends then its just means that he/she is not the right one for you but there will be someone for you and you'll find him/her only if you'd try.

how young are you bianca? if you are young as in teen then it is okay, focus yourself on studies first. but if you are around your 20's then why not try. getiing hurt is part of life. you live you learn when you get hurt.getting hurt makes us realize what we have done wrong and what we need to change.

Don't be afraid...once u fall in love u'll regret u don't feel it earlier. Agree with other commentors, love is a risk. But if u choose the right person it won't be hard. For me, love is like a chocolate..though love is much much better than it..once you bite it, you want it more..but if you take it too much it will hurt you. So it's not wrong to have a bite..just try it. I had a few relationships before and i hurt a lot..but they never stop me to find another love. If it didn't work so just accept it that it is not meant for you, keep searching the right one. I've got mine and you'll get yours too. Good luck dear!!!
