  Can I stab love in the back yet?

  
  You can try, but i'd advise against it.

  Could take years.
  
  I felt really strongly for someone for about 3 years before I fell out of love. I met someone else though.
  
  I guess the best way to fall out of love is just to fall in love with someone else. Still, however, the feelings can remain for a really long time. But they're not priority, of course.

  Does that mean that once you evaluate whether or not your truly love someone, then the love is instantly rendered void?
  
  That doesn't make sense. The way you feel about them hasn't changed, and the past feelings you've had toward them also haven't changed.
  
  That's like saying, "You can't ask, 'do I love you?' because you're just supposed to love me without knowing why."

  
  
  When a guy thinks about why he loves you it can turn out to be pretty flattering, I think.
  I'm an insecure person, but if a guy can analyze if he loves me, and after having done so, say that he does, then that's really amazing. It's normal to be afraid, but at the same time, I don't really like feeling ignorant, either. If he found he didn't love me, what are we even doing together?

  To me, it wasn't a thing about being afraid or insecure. It was about the why. It's always about the why.
  
  What are these feelings in me whenever I'm around you? Why is it that I giggle when you talk, even if it wasn't funny? Why is it that I get all excited when we meet up?
  
  What are these feelings? Is it love? Why yes! It is!

  An insecure person can still love, no?

  
  
  of course.
  it's just more likely to end for unintentional reasons.
  theres a multitude of reasons why theres a 50% divorce rate, and i'm sure thats one of them..
  
  hopefully they become better at managing their feelings and put more trust in their partner and themselves before problems arise.
  
  (this is a rather high level of insecurity, 'normal' insecurity among people isn't a problem and is usually overcome)

  I'm glad someone else finds those types of 'sayings' idiotic and irrational.
  
  The best way I can answer this is to say that it varies from person to person because everyone views love differently. Even those who have extremely similar views will still have emotional reactions that differ. Not to mention, there's no set definition on love, save for the 'official' definition that you can look up in a dictionary. Some people will cling to a person out of fear, not wanting to spend their life alone. In a sense, they'll stay in love because they'll constantly convince themselves that they're still in love. For most, you get the general wanting to spend a life together, have a family, etc.
  
  With the clingy people, hell, they might stay 'in love' forever. To those who find partners that they end up seeing a future with, they might stay 'in love' forever. There are others who are fueled by lust, and they become so infatuated that they feel like they're 'in love', or they end up forming a strong, temporary attachment that they get bored of after a while.

  
  
  I have to agree with everything you said Dev~
