No, Love can change, but never truly disappear. Lust on the other hand, is a flash in a pan.  |

There is a difference in "falling in love" (that magical, butterfly-in-the-stomach, first attractions) kind, and the tried & true, time-tested, all-the-kinks-worked-out, kind. Many people fall in and out of love several times before arriving at the REAL Mccoy. There were times in my life, with certain people, where I was so very sure that it was the real thing, but discovered later, that it wasn't at all. When it is real, you never stop loving that person even if both your lives take opposite directions. REAL love is not based on what WE "want" wish or try to make someone into being. It is quite simply getting to know them as they REALLY ARE, realistically, and accepting them and or loving them in spite of the little quarks, idiosyncracies, and not-so-desirable traits. We all run into trouble when WE, ourselves, are not in tune with WHO WE really are; and when we look at the other in an idealistic, rose-colored-glasses, what we WANT them to be, viewpoint. We set ourselves up for failure, when we PROJECT on to another, that which we WANT them to be, instead of realistically looking at them as they way they ARE.  |

from my experience, you can only fall out of love if you've never really gotten to know the other person. the more you get to know someone, the harder it is to fall out of love with them.  |

I think that if you fall out of love you were never truely in full blown love to begin with. You might have thought you were but just weren't. Love doesn't just go away over night. In time you will get past the one you love but they will never be out of your heart if you were truely in love with them.  |

if you can fall inlove you can fall out of love.. though falling out of love isnt an instant thing... it makes me think of a good marriage...the key is to put up with a person and be able to fall in and out of love and back in love with them(i hate to say it but in any long relationship there will be points where you are angry and can barely look at eachother but you get past it)  |

I think it's possible... I was totally in love with someone once (and still am to tell the truth) but I know it just wouldn't work and we are the best of friends now... I was in love with my one ex and I did truely fall out of love with her, I don't even have an interst in being friends with her and we were together for almost 5yrs... All loves are different, but I think its possible to really be in love with someone and fall out of love with them...  |

If you fall out of love with someone then you weren't truly in love with THEM to begin with, but in love with what you expected them to be. Love in a relationship is a balance between the feelings of love themselves, and the acceptance of flaws between what you want the person to be and what they actually are. Only when those flaws have been worked out or accepted can a relationship truly survive for a long period of time  |

There's a poem with a great emphasis on the phrase 'being-in-love'. I think there's a big difference between 'in love' and 'love' itself.  |
