Is it normal to be afraid to fall in love?

I'm afraid of falling in love, not because I'm a cold heartless person, but because I don't want to get hurt or hurt someone else. I mean true love would be great and all, but what if I fall in love with someone, and they don't feel the same? It would hurt me so much... Is that normal? And any ideas how to fix this?

    So really, you're afraid of a broken heart. Comes with the territory of falling in love im afraid. Falling in love is one of the best feelings you could ever experience, unlike nothing else.
    Unless you open yourself up to stuff you might die having never known and that's more depressing than a broken heart. You only get one life, make the most of it.

    Yes, it's normal to be afraid of it. People do get hurt from it all the time, but I think it's worth it!

    Yeah its normal. The first girl I fell for, left and we were trying to keep a long distance relationship going until it got way too tough on both of us. It hurt like I had never felt before. So yeah, I'm scared to fall in love again.

    the point is that the more your gonna think about this the more your gonna hurt people...because maybe someone rly want a chance with you but you dont let him get close to you...my opinion do what makes you happy...nothing is for a life time live a happy life as long as you can :)

    I'm the same way. I would really love it if my first girlfriend was my wife.

    Yeah, I'm afraid too. I seem to be falling in love but it seems like my heart is breaking at the same time.

      Goodness I know. Doesn't it hurt? I hate the feeling of loving someone you can't be with. It hurts so much.
