Why Do We Run Away From Love?
Why do we run away from love? It’s stupid, silly, childish. Why can’t we fall head over heels and live happily ever after like in the movies? Because this is real life. And we are scared.
We find someone we are attracted to. Someone we want to kiss. Someone we want to be with. But from day one we insist on “no strings attached.” Because we are cowards. We are afraid of commitment. We don’t want to take care of someone else when we can barley take care of ourselves. We make it our goal not to fall in love.
It starts off as an innocent hookup, but before we know it we are meeting the friends, lounging all afternoon, texting just to see how each other’s days are, and cuddling. We fall in love. There is no such thing as friends with benefits or sex friends—someone we can call up at any hour of the day just to have sex with. Because sooner or later, we get attached.
Why do you run away from love?

I have to say that i am not running away from love. I am truly in love with someone great. I shall commit to him.
Are you nuts? Many people who want no strings attached aren't afraid. They just don't want to go through the bullshit just to get some. Some are just in it for the physical pleasure, for the ability to just sleep around.
I'm not running from it. I ran from it a few years ago, but I was young. I'm 20 now, engaged and pregnant. :) Life can't get any better than this. <3.
More like I chase them away.
People go for "no strings attached" because they just want the physical aspect of a relationship, without the emotional baggage that comes along with it.
I don't run from love, even though my "first love" ended badly, and in total heartbreak. I'm currently in love with an incredible boy. I can understand people running from it, though. It is scary and you are totally out of control, but the benefits should outweigh that. It should be worth it :)
Speak for yourself!
Because its real, and not something as easy and clean cut as we see in the movies, thats why.
i just believe that the concept of a relationship is awesome but really being in one is too much to handle. lol i just had to hit my head against the wall after being in my last one
some people want fast and convenient sex while bypassing the effort of actual dating or a relationship. I hate when some people say that they hate games. it isn't a game, it is called courtship and wooing the girl or what is known as the chase in this era. I think I was born in the wrong decade because it seems like some guys these days want easy access without earning anything, but if some women are also willing for fast and convenient sex, then to each their own. not my thing though.
this website is very good, you can go and see it

I don't run away from love. I wade slowly in. :)
The more we run away from love the more lost we will feel. The more we bring in love the more welcome we will feel. The more we love love the more love loves us back.
as my f-buddy would say, "if you were my boyfriend, i would expect more from you"
Love, for the most part in this country, doesn't work.
Men and women are too different to get along effectively in a relationship.
It isn't a 'natural' thing, it's a cultural thing that can be changed to allow for better relationships. But we're not interested in strong family structure anymore in this country... We're more interested in hedonistic flings.. Which admittedly, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of that. But it's become excessive.
So 'running' from love is a pretty good idea in this country, because more often than not, we're doomed to a bad relationship full of manipulation and abuse. We have every reason in the world to want to avoid that.
@Blind_Paraplegic@xanga -woah... someones been hurt
And cue Moulin Rouge and/or Beatles soundtrack:
Love is a many..splendid thing, love LIFTS us up where we belong. ALL you NEED is love.
@oMeGaXmK2@xanga - Agreed.
OP:
I'm not afraid nor do I just want physical pleasure. I don't run away from love.
Exactly what i'm going through right now . Good post!
@tiiiiiiiffany@xanga - Haha. Who hasn't been hurt in this country?
I've probably actually avoided a ton of pain. My hurt is really minimal compared to so many others.
i run from love because im afraid the kind im offered isnt the kind i need..
i'm not running, just haven't found the right one
because i am afraid that he'll hurt me when i divulge my deepest thoughts with him i have met guys who are boyfriend material and boy.....
you can only count them with your fingers because yes. they're less than 10
@tiiiiiiiffany@xanga - lol'd
i'm an asshole, girls run because i'm a horrible person </3
