If love is blind, does that mean we are all bisexual?

If a person truly has no control over who they love, what’s to stop a person from falling in love with just anyone, regardless of what they think their sexuality may be?
Can you ever really know your sexuality for certain?

I suppose. In a way. No one chooses who their attracted to so I supposed that could exclude and include individuals.
Love isn’t blind to me. Bring on the vanity!
I love my sister. I wouldn’t fuck her.
I think it means that you are likely to see what would be considered gross/annoying with a average person on the street as not a big deal or even cute when a person you love does it.
JP has given the correct answer. Thread over!
Love is blind.
Love doesn’t always mean romantic love either.
You will love who you love, people have been trained to find certain aspects ugly and that’s the reason why we believe it to be ‘ugly’.
Technically, the term you’re looking for is probably Pansexuality.
I love some good guy friends of mine, but I don’t want to have sex with them. There are also tons of women I don’t love that I do want to have sex with.
Since there are different kinds of love, no.
Since sexual attraction is not love, no.
Since lust is not love, no.
Since desire is not love, no.
The saying Love is Blind does NOT mean we have no control over who we love, it means we don’t see the faults of the person we love.
One of the tags on this one should have been cultural illiteracy.
Love isn’t blind. Even gay and bisexual people are shallow to an extent.
No control of our rational mind still means that the unconscious mind is doing this to us. So ask your unconscious mind. It is not blind. It could be hetero, bisexual or gay. Maybe this depends on this tiny little nucleus in our brains

but so far this is only a hypothesis.
Generally I do think if sexuality wasn’t so black and white in this society more people would identify as bisexual
Apparently we’re automagically taking this down the road toward love between sexual partners. Love isn’t restricted to that.
Love is blind sometimes. Otherwise, some really odd looking people would never marry.
@Darwin True enough. All I’m thinkin is that even if I was blind I would like the scent, the feel, and the sound of a woman. LOL.
@Darwin Maybe sometimes love has super vision and can see past outward appearances to the true beautiful soul within.
NO, because we can still FEEL body parts, talk with our partners, etc. Sight is not the only sense that goes along with love
@Violet The question wasn’t really about physical sight. It was about looking past gender, social differences, looks, temperament, education…to the person inside.
I knew what you meant, I was just putting a different spin on your question with my answer.
