Determined man is not able to love. Determined man always lives purposefully. He can make money, career, but he can’t love, because love has no purpose. It is not an object of consumption. We can’t save it, we can’t buy it, and we can’t use it to enhance our ego. Love has neither purpose nor meaning; it exists by itself. The calculating, always logical, reasoning in terms of goals person can’t love, because he or she is always in the future, but never here and now. Love is always here, there is no future. That's why love is so close to meditation and death. They are all matter only in the present.
However, some people are just scared of love. It makes them depressed, they scared to lose their mind, and they scared to lose their freedom or maybe they just scared of changes.
At the end of the day what is love? We can assure ourselves that we love someone unconditionally, eternally, but it would not be true. Nothing is unconditional; nothing lasts forever.
Strange … as older I become as more pessimistic I am about love.

Когда ее совсем не ждешь...
эти строчки из очень красивой песни Л. Утесова очень точно передают то, что мне хотелось бы тебе сказать :)
But please don't confuse choice with rationality, this is not my opinion: There are also irrational choices: If sentiments are like a river, well the rivers know which is the best way to get to the sea. Surprisingly enough, sometimes they can choose to dig into the mountain.
People can get scared power of the river, but how can we blame them? the speed of the water, the unknown consequence of a waterfall.
You can choose to starve the river by closing its source, and you will choose to slowly dry.
Or you can choose to build artificial lakes, and waterfalls that you can contemplate. And dams, to control and use its power to build something else.
Or you might just choose to leave it like it is and trust the river: rivers are indeed excellent artists.
