Love is risky yes. But you can't have what you want without love I'm afraid, you are speaking of things that only Love would imply and by saying no you are only running away from love and it will bring you sadness. You must take hold of that word and think it is only a word that speaks the obvious truth, but it is something bigger and much brighter, but if you start thinking what the result of it will be and that the destiny of your actions will lead, it will eventually lead that way. So that is why the famous saying is 'Love is blind'. You must treat it as you were blind every time you are involved, you learn from past mistakes and you grow stronger with each opportunity, denying this basic right to yourself just will make you one mean spirited person in the future. I am not a big user of the word 'love' I feel that it is such a small word with such an infinite description that each time I use it, that it loses some of its meaning, so I use it yes, but when and only when it is necessary... ie. hanging up the phone and saying .. 'I love you' every time, makes it inevitably meaningless, thus giving way to little pet names to endear each other and mumbo jumbo which just makes you want to bang your head against the wall repeatably (aye an extreme scenario).

None the less, you will find someone that will make you happy everyone does, however you will never find someone that will make you happy in everything throughout life. Do you want to have yourself a yes man as a boyfriend or someone that actually challenges your way of thinking? Do you want to sleep on the left or right side of the bed throughout your life or actually don't really care on where you sleep as long as you are with him/her? Do you become jealous? Do you argue about the dishes or food or money? Do you take tomorrow as it comes? Do you believe in trust? Does it really all matter?

Each and every relationship is different and that is the beauty about them, finding yourself falling in love with the person is again different, recreating that first kiss with them, never works either, but it doesn't stop you from trying does it.
