I am no talking about the love one would get from their family, siblings or friends but thew love of a partner. I haven't been in love, and something tells me that I can live the rest of my life without it (Not that I'm planning to).
Can a person be sane and not be in love at the same time?

Love comes when you least expect it. It just arrive in one's life. 
Maybe as of now you don't feel it, because you are focused in whatever goal you are trying to hit. But once you are stable in life, you will long for somebody special to share it with.

I could totally relate to this.
Right after I got diagnosed with my disease, my boyfriend for 8 years broke up with me. I was so sure I would never fall in love again and no one will love me since my life revolves around going to the hospital and getting treatment. A year in hospital treatment, I got into a relationship with a nurse who administers my treatment.
Love do come in the most unexpected circumstance. It is not for any person to choose he/she whether to be in love or not. Love finds the person and the person to love and love you back.
My 2 cents is that, single life is also a gift, so enjoy it while you can. While you are in control of your heart and your mind because once love finds you, there's no reason nor any other force to stop you from feeling what love wants you to feel. :D

Wow, very nicely said sandy and i totally agree!
So you see, just when you are not searching for it anymore, it arrives. And love really chooses no one to infect with it. It is for everybody, and comes in the most unexpected place and time.

A person is useless in this world if he lives without for love at all. At the very start of the creation of man, God is lonely that is why he created man and love him so much . Since man is lonely he created again the woman in the person of eve. They live here in this world because of love. Love change the world and without love the world will turn into war.

Can a person live without love.
I personally was not there to know I would rather not.
I think heh lyubavta of us from our body because we always feel a sense whether they love or something else.
Sometimes you just think you can live without love, but it really is not no man can love because he loves his family.
interesting discussion.
nice day!

Many people live without love (a lover) and they are all sane. Especially women do fine without a so called lover/husband. They even live way longer without one as with one. Only men live longer if they are married (probably because they need a housekeeper). It's not the love you get from an other person, but the love you give to yourself that counts and make you strong and happy. And exactly this kind of love is hard for us to give to ourselves. So we sit there, feel left over, and wait for some prince or princess to rescue us and give us the love we need so badly. So the questions is.. who is the sane one?

i think it will be yes.. Because without my partner,who will be the guy that will take good care of me when im old. I feel so alone without him. And base on my observation most of the old maid got quick tempered.

he he i think we all can live without partners, we are after all able to live alone not having one - until of course meeting someone and knowing that he or she is there with you. I guess my take is that we should not think that our happiness depends on other people, especially on a would be prospect or partner... that way we won't be thinking much ofwhat is missing in our lives.
I remember a book where a person asked if someone loves him. and he was told that he is asking the wrong question, because he should know if he is capable of love - if we have love, it does not matter who the person is... what matters is.. that we are able to give love and would never ran out of it.

I am sure yes.
As we know about monks and people who lives in celibacy, or made themselves celibate.
I though I would never love again.
It's been years (8 yrs when I fall out of love- from someone who cheated me)
I lived my life single and not loving someone- but,unexpectedly-my heart fall in love after many years.
through out those years- I live a happy life.
So,Yes, I can say....anyone can live/survive without such kind of love.
