I just want to differentiate between "true love" and "in love".
"In love" tends to be more superficial in nature. It results from such things as physical attraction, physical intimacy, recieving attention. It usually ends at the onset of marriage or soon after (where "true love" is assumed to replace it). Think of the phrase "the honeymoon is over".
"True love" transcends superficial facades. It's a connection of the heart and willingness to incorporate logic into the relationship. In fact, "true love" rarely clouds logic in the way that "in love" does.
I must say, the most dangerous thing I've ever been involved with in my life was being madly in love.
We have free will and control of our actions and decisions. Falling in love is not a choice, it is something destined.
It is out of our hands.
But we are still in control of our actions.

interesting post, never thought of it that way, but I must say that in the end of your post, you said, falling in love is not a choice, and while I agree with you on that one, we can control who we fall in love with. We have criterias created in our head on who an ideal partner maybe, and if a person fits all those criterias and we like them, then we in a way have chosen for ourselves who we fall for.
Just my 2 cents.
Why do people fall in love with people who are not their "type"? Because it is not our will. In the situation you refer to, that is one conditioning themselves to fall in love.
Is love blind? Some romantics would say. But in today's superficial world we love those that can do the most for us. Sexually, financially, or for an increase in status.
All for sin.
