I think it is both a feeling and a choice. You feel love for the one you are with and you chose to love the one you are with.

Its most def. a feeling. You dont have the ability to fall in love with someone of your choosing. If that was the case then we would never have broken hearts bc we could make the choice to not love that person. Open and shut case. =)

It's a stir from the inside of you, that would be a feeling, then it's your brain choosing to risk.

Is love a feeling or a choice? Both! Different kinds of love you might have for a person? It might be love or friendship For what reason have they been sent in to your life... A Reason,a Thought,or someone to Learn from,cause you might be missing a reason for which you need to see or feel!

Is love a feeling or a choice? Love is a series of electrical and chemical stimuli acting in a certain way to illicit a specific response.

I'm going to break this up a little. Attraction is an emotion. We have no more choice about feeling it than we do about feeling fear. Attraction is where love starts. I do not think you can will yourself to love someone.

Love is something you CHOOSE to feel. If you refuse to open your heart to it, can you even feel it? But, once you let love in...you have no choice but to follow your heart! Bottom line ~ it's a wonderful feeling!

Is love a feeling or a choice? It is a complete feeling made by a chemical shift in the body! Which explains the old saying "Love Hurts"!

Bottom line ~ it's a wonderful feeling! def one of the best things in life, and at the same time one of the worst. but it is always better (in my eyes) to have loved then to have never loved.

Not sure about that one, because I have never loved that hasn't ended badly.

Is love a feeling or a choice? Love is more than a feeling and a choice, it's a force of nature.. the purpose of our existence. Not limited to romantic love... love is all around if we stop and feel.
