Is Love a choice or a feeling?

It's both, I think, though not necessarily for everybody. Some people feel love for someone who's not right, for whatever reason, and choose not to act on it. Others act.

Once you are with someone it's a choice every day, whether to overlook the knuckle-cracking or run away screaming.

Love is a choice. Affection and physical attraction are feelings, but although they can be strong, it's when those feelings wear off that we find out whether or not we really love someone. That's when we have to make a conscious choice.

Such questions always need definition of terms. We use 'love' when it's not, really. You can want desperately to be in someone's presence, you can want to be in their bed, you can crave their good opinion, you can feel jealous when they smile at their dog. That's infatuation, and it's probably not a choice. It's hormone driven.

When you love someone, you want what's best for them, which may or may not include you. That's a choice.

I believe it is a choice. I believe you dont have to like somebody to love them. For example a homeless person who stinks of pee and who is on drugs or someone who personally attacks you for something they dont understand about you. You choose to be the better person and forgive them without getting an apology. That to me is love. Respect. I can love you but I dont have to like you all the time, nor your choices.

I do not think you choose to love, it happens. Though those in arranged marriages sometimes will come to love one another, still, I do not think it is a choice but something that happens over time.

Its a bacterial infection transfered through contact. It hits hard for a time, makes you miserable then fades away. Some people catch it often and some build an immunity if lucky.

To me it's a feeling. When I've felt love, my whole body feels it.

Love is a choice. Your feelings are indicators of your proximity to the love you choose. You're much closer to being and acting in love when you're positive and happy, than when you're negative and cranky.

i dont think you can choose who you fall in love with, however, you CAN choose on which feelings you act on.

Wish it was a choice...but doesn't seem controllable...😒

I’d call it a feeling. What you do with it is your choice.

Definitely a feeling. A choice is something you can say 'no' to.😬

It's a feeling the object of all life is to just procreate and nothing else

I don't feel like this question reflects a real choice.

It's an action, the things we do when we care for someone.

Both. First I felt it, then I chose it.

Thank you for BA.

It's definitely not a choice. I don't choose who I fall in love with. But I choose who I date and who I let into my life (sometimes).
