like the last person said, you probably depend too much on people for emotional support. I used to feel the same way. You should try to build up self-esteem and confidence. Believe in yourself. This can help you be less dependant. I know it's easier said than done, but i beleive that is the only way you can stop yourself feeling this way.
were you abused? or were you overly protected as a child? it sounds like you have difficulty knowing who to trust and who not to, and somehow closeness always turns into love. but they're not the same, and on some level you know that because you see that it doesn't work out. i think this is something you might want to talk to a therapist about.

You are just in love with the idea of being in love.
"You are just in love with the idea of being in love."

Bingo. And this is kinda dangerous, because you'll be in love with people for the wrong reasons - and if you date them you'll probably realize a few months down the road that they aren't right for you.

The only thing you can really do is just remind yourself where those feelings are coming from, and try to not let them take control.

Of all the things I've learned and studied, love is the most difficult. The most intelligent advice was what one person mentioned above. Reflect on you and your history; you may see ways it has affected you now. Believe me, I know. I was abused, grew up confused and continued the circle for a long time.

It is hard to know who to trust and who not to. They say truth is freedom and freedom is what we all want and need to grow, go and do and be! That’s why you are so eager to trust almost anyone. You are in a hurry to free yourself, but in essence trap yourself further, thus slowing the process down even more.
It is great to want to be loved and love someone. Keep that up. But this is probably too much.
You probably have serious self esteem issues. Alot of things to deal with. Perhaps you are seeking something you dont get from yourself.

This could end up hurting you tremendously(and probably has) and gives people the power to control you.
Middle school drama anyone? Usless.
it's hard to say, but look inside yourself and try to respect yourself. a friend of mine's friend is bipolar and he has done crazy stuff for love. he fell in love with a 976 operator and fell in love with another bipolar girl who just wanted friendship and tried to od. not saying you'll go this far, but you know why don't you try to step back when you feel this strong and check out if they feel about you, the real deal will happed but it won't be what you think, but it will be real.
You not in love you dependent (im like it aswell sometimes) you just think people are more than what they actually are to you...friends.
maybe this happens because your wee wee is tiny or your vagina is the grand canyon?

you don't have a nice body. if you're too fat then they wont like to bang you.
i dunno. you're on your own.
You need to trust time to resolve all issues. This one especially, because you can't expect to fall in love in one night! This is called a One Night Stands and the relationship only lasts for a short amount of time. Go slow, and as I said before trust time to resolve all issues.
Yea it's normally. Don't worry. One day you'll find that one u fall for will fall for you too! This kinda thing takes time, Don't rush love!!!
Dude, i have somewhat the same problem.
We depend on ppl too much, and when tht connection develops, you should just step down a bit, maybe avoid them for a while, and then hang out again.
