   I believe love is an unconscious choice. Sometimes the part of us we don't know about knows best.

   In first place it is not, but it also can be and will be at times. Hard to explain. First you meet someone and even though some people deny - but the first attraction is what we see from the outside. By nature we tend to feel attracted by what we see which leads us to the next step. When we are in love it just is the chemistry and other stuff that gets us there. But the "heaven" will soon be brought back on earth - and reality kicks in sooner or later. We will face habits and ticks of the other one that we are not too fond of. Here love turns into a choice. You have to choose if you can live with the habit or tick or not and make decisions accordingly to keep this love alive or not.

   I believe love is a choice..  that intense fondness you have toward another person  comes from  within..  you chose  to express it..  and as quickly as it comes.. it can leave.. and that too is a choice..  good question

   LOVE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE By BERNARD LEVINE
   
   Just one hug
   
   can touch someone's heart
   
   Just one smile
   
   can change someone's day
   
   Just one flower
   
   can show you care
   
   Just one kindness
   
   can light the way
   
   Just one compliment
   
   can bring happiness
   
   Just one prayer
   
   can create a miracle
   
   Your love can make a difference.

   No i don't! Love is something that happens when you do not even thing it could! I believe we cannot control it, even when we try we end up soffering....the other side of the medal is that we end up soffering when we get it! After the great beginning all problems arrive and we start soffering....c'est la vie!

   No, love is not a choice. It happens. If choice is made then that is not a love.

   Love is an existing undeniable energy. Is the sun a choice? No, because it just is.

   Absolutely.
   
   Although the word itself can refer to more than one meaning (an emotion or a choice), to remain loving a person must sometimes choose to behave in a way that helps their relationship instead of doing what only serves themselves. That's a loving choice, and without making these choices, love cannot endure.

    Yes it's a choice in my opinion. We choose our friends, our lovers, and our spouse. Everyone you have ever gotten involved with began with you saying (YES) when the opportunity came to exchange contact information, go out on a date, kiss, go out on addtional dates, have sex, trust and believe what they told you....etc
    I don't think it's possible to say (yes) 100 times and then claim that love "just happened" out of the blue! At the very least one has to admit they made a decision to give that person a "chance".
    Trust me if you said (NO) to every opportunity to exchange contact information, go out, kiss, have sex, or simply socialize period.... Odds are you are not going to fall in love! Every relationship began with you saying (YES) when you had a (choice) to say (NO).

    I believe love comes anytime, in any place, any moment in one's life. A person could feel it and i don't think it is a choice to love or don't love because it is a natural feeling one could not deny to feel it. Unless in any other circumstances you have the choice to make it come true, make it happen to be with the one you love or turn away.

    Everything we feel or decide are choices we make. If we have the ability and strength to give love then we can expect to feel love too. So, yes...to me all are choices...even the smallest ones!

    We choose to love or hate, forgive or hold grudges but sometimes we 'fall in love' and there is nothing we can do about it:) It is a gift of life, that make us to understand that there is more to life than conscious and rational decisions. Do not be afraid to loose your control to receive the gift of love, but never ever loose control over hate and spite:)

    When you get first hand experience of that thing that you refer to as love.  You will have no need to ask or question because you will know as well as understand.  The experience is like none other, but you aught be careful as well as responsible with sharing your gift of "love".

    NO. Love is not choice. Attraction and Love does not happen in concious mind. It happens in unconcious state of mind. You are automatically attracted to opposite sex if they are attractive according to your terms..
