Based on my personal experience, I stay away from the person that i might fall in love with, keep busy , try new things , read a lot. I remember the pain love causes and i try my best to ignore the idea.

I'm not sure why you don't want to love this person, but I'm going to answer as if you have a very valid reason (the other person isn't single or isn't romantically/sexually compatible, or has expressed a lack of romantic interest in you, or you're already in an exclusive relationship, etc.) It's hard, but try to spend as much time away from the person as possible; when around them, try not to socialize any more than necessary. Take note of all their flaws, and remind yourself of all the reasons a relationship between you two wouldn't work. And try to notice all the other attractive people around you. Find a really unattractive feature (could be physical or part of their personality) and fixate on that, until they don't seem as appealing anymore.

You can't- the oxytocin, dopamin and serotoninin in your brain simply won't allow it. Too bad. Love hurts, but it also heals.

That is a good question. Usually we fall in love when we find someone who fills a certain need that we have like emotional reassurance or appreciation or any such thing that makes you feel good. Now, what you can do is seek what you want from a another more reasonable source if you want to "fall out of love" with the person in question.

Learn to fall in love with yourself . Date yourself . Take yourself out to eat. Stroll around an art museum all by yourself. Fall in love with canvas. Gift yourself . :) You wouldn't want to love anyone else in that case . Peace.

Don't we all want to fall in love right? I'm like that too! Nothing in me wants to be single and I'm guessing you're like that too. The thing about it is, you have to know that when you are willing to put yourself all-in to a relationship and they don't reciprocate, that you deserve better. You aren't as helpless to love as you think you are. Its not like you ran your car into a ditch. Don't try to stop yourself from falling in love, just try to recognize better who are those people who deserve the love you have to offer them. If you want to fall in love, you want to be that awesome person they deserve and you owe it to yourself to find someone worthy of that! Don't' try to stop falling in love. Try to find someone worth falling in love with but be smarter about it all. Be ready to go all in but maybe hold out a little longer than you are currently comfortable with and recognize that you don't have to go all in so soon. Give them a chance to prove they deserve your love.

This is very complicated to do. If you want to stop from caring about someone, you need to find something about them that you hate with a passion. Another way you can stop yourself is to stop contacting this person. I tend not to like this option, but just in case the person you like is literally perfect, try this method.

You can't. You can't stop yourself from falling in love as it is part of nature. Not only falling in love with someone we like, falling in love is general. For me, I falls for the warm of my mother's hugs or the smell of good food from the kitchen. We as a human tend to fall in love over silly things sometimes. All you can do is control yourself. The word here is "control". For example, in the stage where puberty hits you with the level of hormone keeps going up..every girl or guy that look at you or talk to you, you will feel like you're in love. But, sadly it is just the devil hormone jobs. Its totally okay to be in love or to fall in love. Everything has its limit. You have to know whether the butterflies inside your stomach is the sign of nervous in love or just an imagination. Sometimes human keeps convincing themself that they are in love but, once they are into that stage..they'll give up. You have to know what makes you in love with someone. Be mature with your choices. Don't fall for someone that has large biceps or flirting out with you through texting. Love is more than that. Love is beyond than we ever imagine, as for me, love is all about accepting someone with her/his true-self. Maybe after broke up with your partner, you'll feel scared to fall in love again..but, don't be. Maybe that is just a testing phase, a phase to teach you how to be strong, independent and overcome sadness incase it happens again. Never stop yourself from falling in love, but cherish the moment you are not in love or in love. What matters the most, as long you love yourself way higher than anyone else..you won't feel hurt or scared to fall with someone. After all, we are the one who controls our body. Love yourself first if you find falling in love with someone is too hard for you. But, never stop falling in love. Love is wonderful and perfect. We as human make it look horrible with the flaws we did.
