I'm picky. I don't think of love as being a condition that controls people. At least not without their direct and positive cooperation.

So I would say, no, not only is love not blind, but people who are in love are not blind. At least not in any way which they are incapable of overcoming.

Oh. Were you going for the romantic notion that people can fall in love with others who are not what they think their "type" is? That kind of "love is blind"? Then yes. Or to maintain my overthinking reputation, I would say that it's at least occasionally true, that people who are looking for a certain kind of match, end up falling for someone else entirely. But I attribute that to the person having incorrectly analyzed what they want in a mate, more than any magic power of love as an infectious disease, or some other external source.

Well unless your young it is. Later in life it may be considered settling. If it is love...congratulations and don't let go!

Yeah, but its not a permanent condition. Given enough time those rose-colored glasses will come off.

Love is only as blind as the person.

Other than that, yes and no.
Love (romantic) is a bonding process (and its culmination) that takes place over months (longer depending on how you interfere with it and then try to compensate).

The process does not even begin if there is no minimum degree of physical attraction to kick start sexual desire.
Sexual desire being the manifestation of procreation urges.

Attraction is highly adaptable. It can be spurred by anger, rage, happiness, joy, ecstasy, lack of alternatives, and even association (fetishes, movie star crushes).

Anyone you feel any amount of sexual attraction to for whatever reason has the potential to engender romantic love.

The process starts naturally and grows/progresses organically unless you interfere with it for any number of reasons in any number of ways.

It would be more accurate to say something like "Love is not blind, but there are other senses, ideas, and concepts that the process of romantic love uses that the individual is not aware of, making 'vision' of less importance in the long term hierarchy in comparison to the short term view of the ego."
