I was hanging out with some friends and one of them was talking about how he loved his girlfriend. Another guy chimed in and said that love was just a word to describe how you THINK you feel about someone. Are guys scared to fall in love? Is that how most of you feel?
Update: Over half of you guys have said you've been in love. To you guys, how did you know that you fell in love with that girl?

Update answer: That's kind of hard to describe. I'm going to try my best to describe it, but It's like when I find myself talking with my friends and usually it's just during a normal conversation about stupid things (and my friends could be complaining about normal everyday stuff), and I look at the conversation and think to myself "wow, I'm a lucky guy to have 'so-and-so' in my life, because I don't think like that," yeah, then you know that my girlfriend means a lot to me. Usually talking to my friends somehow makes me realize how lucky I am at some times. Kind of like looking vicariously through another persons perspective, I guess, makes me realize these things; all the little things about the relationship, that add up.
Hell yeah! Falling in love is something some guys actually try hard not to do! Sometimes that is necessary, because falling in love with the wrong person could.
I remember going into a fling, with my eyes wide open, but started to hang out with that female, and I could feel myself falling in love with her. This may sound wrong, but I couldn't let it happen. My best friend at the time was liking her the same way. It really hurt our friendship, even to this day.
It was just so fun to be with her. Never a boring moment. Great attraction. We were just great friends & I began falling for her. I tried to fight it.
It ended with me going against myself & telling her I didn't care for her & etc. pretty much lying!
Sure I have fallen in love. But when you "fall" in love you've gotta stand up again. I'd rather stand- run- or jump- or fly in love that fall. Choice should be the greater factor to love than feelings.
I'm in love with my girlfriend right now, but it still scares me stupid! We've been together for about 3 years, and I still haven't gotten over the fear yet. I think I'm afraid of her love because it's so deep and amazing and I guess I don't quite know how to respond or even think that I deserve it most of the time, but she continues to love me like crazy! I'm one heck of a lucky man! :)

I'm in a relationship and I LOVE my girlfriend to death. But when I think about having a long-term relationship I think I might miss out on all those experiences of going clubbing while single and being able to just hook up with chicks and not have to think about having that relationship.
It's not that we don't love you, just that we're wary of having anything long-term because we think we might be missing out on something better.
No, not all guys are scared to fall in love. Some may be scared of a commitment. Some guys wear their heart on their sleeve. Some are in between.
I can tell you that before I fell in love for the first time, I was freaking nervous. Of what, I don't know. Probably because I felt like I was putting myself in a vulnerable position, I didn't know what to expect, and I was younger than I am now with a whole lot less understanding (and I'm still learning, so, lol). And It's different than having a crush or lust. I've had a hundred crushes but have been lucky enough to have fallen love a few times.
But "falling in love" I believe takes two people to share emotions and feelings, not just one person. Falling in love creates a bond between two people that the energy can be felt just by staring into each others eyes and things like that. It's even deeper than that though, because the two people involved may not fall in love at the very same time or they fall out of love at different times. But that's what makes falling in love such a roller-coaster ride.
Love is a lot more complicated than most people realize. It is a combination of feelings, actions, thoughts, decisions and spirit level intimacy. Most people have too many protective mechanisms to allow the deepest level of intimacy between their spirit and someone else's, because that means there is nothing left to protect you, except God. However, along with that greatest of risks, comes the greatest potential for reward, so it is a trade off, but it does happen and it is worthwhile.
