Most people believe that love is blind is true in some cases but not all cases. For example if a guy sees a gril he likes he will let her know how he feel about her. As they get to know each other they may fall in love if they feel they can cope with each other.Coping here stands for character and other special qualities they see in each other. So love is not blind he liked her, he studied her, because of the good qualities he saw in her he loved her. Assuming he liked her but she has no character he will not love her so if love is blind why not love her the way she is. Most of us here loved someone before why did you break up if love is blind you would have continued to love blindly until death do you part.please this just how feel if you disagree is ok by me just let me know what you think.

The short answer is Love dies and the exact cause of death has to do with the types of personalities involved in the crime but both usually are a party to its death.

I think infatuation is blind and love is more near sighted.

When we are infatuated with someone we tend only to see their good qualities because it’s all we want to see. We don’t notice the things about them that might otherwise make us bolt until the smoke clears and we take a good hard look at them. I think this is the main reason people date for a while only to break up shortly down the road.

Love on the other hand only comes with time and in-depth knowledge of one another. I don’t even believe it’s possible to fall in love with someone while you are in the infatuated with them, because you are still too busy being gaga over the things that initially attracted you to them to really learn who they are. When you do fall in love it is because you know the person well enough to accept them for their faults as well as their good points.

I say we often become near sighted in love, because love only exists in the moment...so we cling to the moment and shut out the future. We all grow and change and a couple in love can only hope that it will be together and not apart. Yes, love takes work and communication, but there are still no guarantees. We often put off dealing with the future of our relationship until it is upon us because we fear facing it. Oftentimes by then it is too late.

That's my opinion for what it's worth.

so if love is blind why not love her the way she is.



You can't 'love' her the "way she is" if you can't "see" her the way she is.

So love IS blind.

To add to that, very few people live authentically or truthfully. They put on masks and pretend to be something they are not and they will hide what they feel are their flaws.

If you are not honest about who you are, then how can you be loved for who you are?

Love is not blind as we are visual creatures. Maybe in some instances it is, but mostly no it is not.

I met a man and he showed many of his flaws and told me about the flaws I could not seen yet. Well, I was falling for him, but No love is not blind. I left him alone. What you see is what you get, so look very closely.laugh

Blind love can lead to accepting things that eventually make you unhappy about each other.

Frankly, I think that Love is blind, deaf and really dumb. That could explain why so many of us loved and/ or married the wrong people. laugh

if you think that love is blind why don't you continue to love blindly forever since you blindly marry him or her. Why did you divorce your love? After loving him or her blindly lol.

What if love doesn't exist and everything that everyone is chasing is simply the figment of an overactive imagination? Clearly we are a people of overactive imaginations, no?

We have stories to explain away everything, from Jesus to Santa...It isn't outside the realm of possibility that perhaps love is also simply made up.

love is not blind, people are blind to love, some people once they have the relationship that thats it, they dont need to do anything else. but love is definately something that takes two people wanting it and sharing it with each other
