I guess the better question would be, "Why don't you want to fall in love?" Granted, there are instances when it is not a good idea. If your coworker, for instance, is married, you don't want to fall in love. If there is too great of an age difference, or perhaps you are both passionate about your religion, and they differ. In those cases, I would try to avoid the person as much as possible. But, if you are talking about not falling in love, at all, you need to explore the fears behind this. You could potentially miss out on one of the most rewarding aspects of life.

Falling in love is a natural and beautiful part of building a loving and committed relationship. It's not necessary to stop yourself from falling in love. It is different from infatuation, which may occur for unhealthy reasons. To stop yourself from pursuing unhealthy infatuations, ask yourself what it is that you are yearning for and why do you associated the object of your affection this with - you may find there are better avenues to pursue what you yearn for.

I would create a little distance between the said person and you, keeping contact fairly friendly but not too emotional. Maybe even only messaging every second day or keep conversations fairly short like an hour at most.

Take time to figure out your own signs of attachment; maintain personal boundaries so you do not become intimately attached to someone. Look up to others and see those people you are attracted to as mentors and teammates. It takes time to temper yourself not to act on attraction, but you can do it!

unfortunately i don't think that's possible love isn't something you choose (if it was then everyone would choose) but it's just something that comes to people naturally, and it's something you just have to ride out sometimes

I think it's almost impossible to stop yourself from falling in love because falling in love is not a choice, it's something that just happens. If you're suffering because you love someone or because you always suffer when you're in love, one thing one could do is to examine why this happens rather than trying not to fall in love. Example: imagine that you have problems to show your feelings and that affects your relationships, your partners always get tired of you and they end up dumping you. In that case, it could be a good idea to work on that problem so one doesn't suffer when falls in love. But, in a nutshell, falling in love is something that cannot be stopped.

I am not sure you really can stop yourself from falling in love! For me i can't turn love off and i don't even try anymore because it is too draining for me to try!

Falling in love is a totally natural thing to happen. Many experiences cause us to feel this way and as an impact cause our future self more than it is worth thinking about. Always give yourself, and others a chance if at an appropriate time and security in your life. If you are strongly against these feelings try to find the root and cause of these feelings and reevaluate what made you feel this way specifically and how you can prevent it in the future.

Don't - allow yourself to love and to feel, if it's meant to be it will be. No matter what you do, life will continue. Why not love every minute, person and event that makes up it.
