I Love You Minion Gif Gif Ok maybe this is the saddest phobia ever €“ the fear of falling in love. Something many people dream of and hope for, can be unwanted and even feared by others.

Alternatively, a philophic could be afraid of the unknown if they have never fallen in love, or they could be afraid of the very feeling of being in love.
