    Personally speaking it's impossible for me to say what I would do in any given future situation but I can say what I think is the most likely in my own opinion.
    Our emotions rule us and dictate pretty much every aspect of our lives. Everything we do, every second of the day, everyday of our lives is completely and totally for one purpose, the pursuit of happiness, or what we perceive it to be.
    Being adamant about a decision is a choice, falling in love is not. I'm sure everyone can relate to making a decision about a future event only to be reversed when the future event became a present event. I'm sure everyone has thought "I'd never do that" and then one day down the road they do.
    Love is the strongest emotion there is, it's not easy to dismiss it because of choice. People kill and die for love, it's pretty potent stuff. I suppose people kill and die for every emotion technically, but killing and dying for hatred is not a real worthy cause, also I think many times hatred is a choice based on ignorance and misconceptions. But, given the right frame of mind, love is a rightful and justified reason.
    I'd have to say I'd most likely fall victim to my emotions, I may not want a relationship right now for whatever reason, but when I was to fall in love what I would want would most likely change. And based on my past experiences and what I know of others, I'd guess that my thinking would change and I'd decide to go with love. If it's real and true then nothing can come close to topping it, including whatever reason the adamant choice was to not want a relationship. One day ya might look back on that and regret not taking a chance, regret is a killer, it sucks.

    I'd give the matter some thought, and if I felt that I was ready, I'd try to date the person. Do not pass up the chance to be with someone you care for, because you may not get another!

    I'm sort of in this situation right now. The difference is, I'm not really "in love" at the moment. I'm probably going to end up giving this guy a chance.

    But if you fall in love with somebody then the only thing you want to do is be with them as much as you can and you want them to return your feelings. So if you love them then you do want a relationship with them because you want to be in their company.

    When I am adamant about something that seems unreasonable or contradictory, I explore the reason why I am so adamant. Perhaps, it's apprehension or fear because of a previous experience. If so, I remind myself that just because one relationship ended with hurt, it doesn't mean that the next one will. I also think that it's important to understand my role in a disasterous affair. After all, it takes two to tango.

    I guess I would think about whether I truly wanted or didn't want a relationship, and how I would feel if I weren't around the person I was in love with, and weigh the options. Which is worse, not being with the person (at this point I speculate that the other person wants a relationship...) I was in love with, or being "constrained" by a relationship itself?
    One is going to be more important than the other, so deciding which one is the tough part.

    Or, talk to the person and see how they feel. Maybe they don't want to be bound by a relationship title, and would like to still be casual, while still enjoying each other's company.

    You can still love someone and not be in a relationship with them. If you're sure you don't want a relationship, don't be in one. You'd eventually resent the person you fell in love with if you forced yourself to be in one.

    Don't expect they're still going to be available when you decide you're ready for a relationship.

    We can't choose who we fall in love with, nor have 100% control by what might flow from love, if it comes to us.
    I waited over 40 years and never dreamt or believed I would ever experience love, but it happened and its the most wonderful thing I know.

    I wouldn't have to think about it, I would never be in that situation think of it this way - would you bite of your nose to spite your face? If no then why would you let your mind control your heart?

    You're reading about a girl who lives in the same situation as what you're asking. I made a promise to myself that I won't have a relationship with anyone for the time being. That was until recently, when I fell in love with another boy. We still hadn't gone into a relationship, but we are friends. What I would do is go with the flow. I mean, we can't stay isolated without a partner forever.
