Yes, it is called Philophobia. http://www.phobialist.com/reverse.html

yeah but on the other hand, not really true. We are all heterosis and this is seen by the fact that, there are some people who fear to say any word to their mate and those who don't even think a minute before doing it lol. some people may fear to fall in love because of certain reasons, it may be their religous rituals like that church fathers lol.
-
Of course someone can be afraid to fall in love. Usually it's because they have been hurt by someone they loved before and they dont want to go through that again. Love is inevitable though and sometimes you/he/she just need to trust your/his/her heart.
-
Oh, yes. Anyone who's been burned in a relationship will be a little more cautious every time. Trust is something that goes along with falling in love, and it makes you vulnerable to getting hurt.
-
Falling in love is what mother nature had in mind in the beginning. we would not exist, if someone, somewhere had not fallen in love with someone else. falling in love with the wrong person can hurt beyond belief. like the song says......love hurts. its true, but you cannot be afraid to give it a chance, at least once. who knows, you may get lucky and find mr/miss right the first time.......it could happen!
-
I know i'am. If your heart gets trampled on enough then you may live in constant fear of it.
-
Yes... I was very afraid of love because of a past relationship that ended and left me emotionally unstable. In some cases it’s not the fear of love but the fear of loss.
-
Oh yes, terrified! When you fall in love, you are no longer in complete control... can feel like taking a step off a cliff. Being in love is leaving yourself vulnerable - your heart exposed to... well, can anyone really hurt you as much as that one you love so much. Feels like entrusting that person with the power to destroy you. Control! It's dangerous... but I'll do it :-)

O yes, Once bitten - twice shy, but I don't think you have any control over it even though you are scared.
-
i think yes, and the opposite too, sometimes you can be afraid that a person might fall in love with you because you have power over them, and that can be equally as frightening i think.
-
I believe most people, when they say this, are afraid of the consequences associated with falling 'out' of love.
-
i've never been in love and yes i'm afraid. afraid that i might chose the worng person to fall in love with. or that my loved one will surely hurt me at some point in my life. i find it very difficult to trust someone enough to share my most precious feeling/emotion with them.
-
Yes, some could even be terified of ever trying again.
-
I think that real love is not the one that makes you lose complete control over yourself giving it to the other person.. where you loose your soul and mind making the other the owner of every feeling that you have.. Cuase when you do that you end up hurting youlsef and the other person... I think REAL LOVE.. is where two autonomus and diferent people share a life together..making the other the most important thing in their lives.. but still keeping its autonomy.. thats why i think people are afraid of falling in love... because they are afraid that they are not going to know how open the door should be and how far you let that person into your life... its a matter of respecting your space and the other persons space.... the problem is that love does not respect any of those rules.. you can't control who yo love and how you love them... you just do.. and that can destroy someone....But i believe that when you find THAT special person things will come their way really easy.. and there will be no need of thinking and controlling anything... it will be on control by itself...because REAL LOVE equals peace and tranquility...

For shure Im afraid to after being hurt so bad.
-
Maybe if they have been there before & by some reason got hurt by it. Meaning maybe they lost a love one to death. Or maybe they been betrayed in a pasted relationship. Or maybe in childhood they or someone in their family was abused, some way some how. Just my point of view tho. I will say this much. It can be a very lonely world out there, without your love one beside you. Be careful and chose wisely...."The Missouri Crack Shot"....M.C.S.
-
While I wholeheartedly agree that it can be fearful - If someone told me that was the reason they wanted to leave the r/ship I'd be a bit skeptical. It could also be used as an excuse to exit a r/ship you don't want to be in.
-
yes incase you dont get that love back.
-
Why?? How could you be afraid of falling in love..
-
Yes. Why would you put yourself at the mercy of another? It is safer for some people to never let themselves fall in the love in the first place.
-
I could understand why people would be afraid of it. For a long time I looked at people who were in love, or who loved each other, but kept seeing how for most of them, in the end, it never works out. Deceit, complete sorrow, being depressed, it looks to me like a drinking binge. You have fun for about six hours and the rest is an indeterminable time of pain. >_> To this day I still don't fancy it, and am always afraid of what will happen later, based on what I saw with so many other people. But my boyfriend always goes, yeah we'll probably break up some day, you'll take all my stuff and money for child support and I'll call you a bitch and you'll call me an asshole and we'll curse each other until our deaths, but for now how about just enjoying what is genuinely true? Is he right or not lol? Makes sense, but still. But, I can totally appreciate his messed up sense of humour, so maybe it's not all that bad. But I suppose once you feel that way, there's not much you can do about it-or rather, care to do anything against it. :/
