| sassy | I think love is blind...but boy when the love goes, the blinders sure come off in a hurry! There were red flags flying all over the place with my last love, and when I was madly in love, I didn't see any of them. But as soon as he wore the love away, I saw it all! |
| B.K. | I don't think it's blind. I think we all see what we want to see and let go of the rest. When the sour grapes happen you have a choice of letting it all go and accepting the good of what was there. Going on or dwelling on what you think you never saw. Much better to let it slide and go forward than to keep beating yourself with the past |
| spaded | NO. If you are in love at some point and people use this euphemism to describe the relationship what they really mean is someone is stupid. I have a friend whom I love dearly, who has a husband she loves dearly. This man lies, cheats, and steals. He has been caught red handed by her and other people in her life many times. She has left twice and always takes him back...you know he is changing he is trying. All you have to do is listen to her and you know she knows better. She isn't blind to it she is just stupid in love. (to stupid to let go apparently). Happily in this case she is also stupid enough to be genuinely happy (go figure). So all I can say when she talks about them is yeah, uhh uh, I know what you mean, even thought what I really want to scream is I KNOW YOU ARE NOT REALLY THIS STUPID!!!...lol. |
| chris | Love isn't blind, but it needs contacts (color contacts at that). |
| Echolocation | If it is then it isn't love, it's infatuation. If you're blind, then sooner or later the blinders will come off and you'll see that what you were loving was never really there. Real love is seeing the whole person, flaws included, and loving them anyway. |
| scqueen | Love isn't blind, just people. |
| Chances | Love is blind, deaf, dumb, stupid and forgetful. And maybe that isn't such a bad thing. ; ) |
| Misti | Love is blind and lust is the seeing eye dog. If you don't have the patience for braille, trust your fingers and avoid the mess altogether. |
| Kirk | Nah. Pretty people tend to find pretty people and same for less attractive. It creates tension when there's a big gap is perceived attractiveness. |
| naturalbornkillerblonde | Love is blind or rather we try to retrofit because we may be lonley. Or sell ourselves short because we think we can't do better. Love is blind as long as we are blind to loving ourselves first. Does that make sense? |
| penelope | Perhaps most importantly, love turns our eyes from the possibility of hurt, of loss, of that person not loving us anymore, of love no longer being. And so it should, perhaps, for who would love otherwise? |
| CryingShame58 | Love is not blind. Love may appear that way because at times love is unconditional... |
