I don't think you have a choice about who you fall in love with. SOmetimes I have fallen in love with the most unlikely character who I never thought I would fancy in a million years. I do not believe in love at first sight however - I think the best love grows over time and then hits you like a train!

Destiny may play an important role in love, but then one has the choice to love or not to. Now for tangent to your topic: Often love is just one sided un-reciprocated love, nay even hatred from the loved one, that maybe is destiny.

I feel it is more of a destiny in loving a person. Because you meet a person by destiny after that comes the choice, it also happens that initially you may not have liked a person but gradually you start liking the same very person, so it is more of a destiny.

I think life presents opportunities for us and we have the "free will" to accept and pursue or decline. I don't think God (yes I believe in God) picks a mate for us. I believe we meet a lot of people in our lifetime, and there are some that are better suited for us. I do believe that God will bring people in our direction, but if we are not watching or choose to relate to them, then we have to live with our decisions. We are free beings and we have to be wise and watch for the exceptional opportunities/relationships.

hi reanne... i think it is the destiny in loving a person. we dont have any choice in loving a person. If we choose a person to love then it is not love.

For me even you avoid to fall in love if it was meant to be it will just happen. Can I answer both hahaha! It's also a matter of choice. Cause you know whats best for you, and you know what you want, cause we just make our own life. Sometimes you just feel strange and that is what I call it was meant to be. Cause when you fall in love you are blind ed with what you feel. Have a nice day to you reanne!

My personal opinion & experience is that we don't have any choice over who we fall in love with.
