What Happened to Love?

A book by Bezalel Cohen

Love didn't change. The way to it broke.

About 2 hours of reading · a one-evening book

What Happened to Love? is an honest, funny and painful look at dating today: apps, endless options, constant comparison and the fear of missing out on something better.

Through my own story and the dates along the way, the book asks why it's harder than ever to choose just when we have more choice than ever. It's not another dating guide. It's a mirror, and a reminder that love itself hasn't disappeared, only the way to it.

From the book

The heart wasn’t built for infinite options. It was built for people.
What Happened to Love?
Most relationships don’t crash because of what we discovered. They crash because of what we invented.
What Happened to Love?
Dependence says: I can’t stand without you. Love says: I can stand on my own, but I want you beside me.
What Happened to Love?
Maybe nothing happened to love. Maybe we just forgot how to be inside it.
What Happened to Love?
When you live with the feeling that something better is always waiting, it’s very hard to fall in love with what’s already in front of you.
What Happened to Love?
Human beings turn into options, and options are easier to replace than people.
What Happened to Love?
Real fears don’t come and say: “Hello, I’m fear.” They come disguised as logic.
What Happened to Love?
Before it is not good for man to be alone, it’s very important that a man know how to be alone.
What Happened to Love?
Not to stop wanting love, but to stop demanding that it save you.
What Happened to Love?
Maybe there are people whose beauty isn’t the first thing you see, but the last thing you discover.
What Happened to Love?
You can get hurt without concluding you shouldn’t have loved.
What Happened to Love?
There are moments when the truth walks into the room before the lie even finishes speaking.
What Happened to Love?
Love doesn’t live only in the big moments. It doesn’t reside only in vacations, birthdays, or the pictures people post on Instagram.
What Happened to Love?
I loved that there was a person in the world who saw you as you really are and still chose to stay.
What Happened to Love?
Not everyone who keeps searching is still looking for love.
What Happened to Love?
Maybe there are things you can only meet when you stop chasing them.
What Happened to Love?
The other room always looks more tempting. But life isn’t really in the other room.
What Happened to Love?
Our hearts don’t know how to build selective walls. They don’t know how to block only pain and leave the door open for love.
What Happened to Love?
Maybe love is exactly that: agreeing to enter something without knowing how it’ll end.

Readers on What Happened to Love?

Review ofWhat Happened to Love?★★★★★
I thought this would be another book about dating apps. It wasn't. The apps are really just the starting point for a much bigger conversation about choice, commitment and why having more options doesn't necessarily make us happier.

על הספרמה קרה לאהבה?★★★★★
זה הספר הראשון שקראתי על עולם הדייטינג שהצליח להסביר לי משהו שהרגשתי כבר הרבה זמן אבל לא ידעתי לנסח. יש היום יותר אפשרויות מאי פעם, אבל איכשהו הבחירה עצמה הפכה קשה יותר. פתאום הרבה מהחוויות שלי באפליקציות התחברו.

על הספרמה קרה לאהבה?★★★★★
אהבתי במיוחד שהספר לא נופל למלכודת של ׳הגברים אשמים׳ או ׳הנשים אשמות׳. הוא מנסה להבין מה קורה לכולנו בתוך מערכת שהשתנתה. היו מקומות שהרגשתי שמישהו סוף סוף כתב את המחשבות שאני בעצמי חושבת אחרי דייט.

Review ofWhat Happened to Love?★★★★★
Funny, honest and surprisingly thoughtful. I especially enjoyed the way the author connects everyday dating experiences with bigger questions about human behavior. It made me laugh in some places and made me uncomfortable in others, which is probably why I kept thinking about it after finishing.

על הספרמה קרה לאהבה?★★★★★
הפרק על פרדוקס הבחירה תפס אותי במיוחד. תמיד חשבתי שיותר אפשרויות זה דבר טוב. אבל הספר גרם לי לחשוב על הפעם האחרונה שבה באמת בחרתי במישהו בלי להמשיך לבדוק אם אולי יש משהו טוב יותר מעבר לפינה. זאת מחשבה שלא עזבה אותי.
רועי ב.באר שבע, ישראל
על הספריםדתילוני + מה קרה לאהבה?★★★★★
קראתי את שני הספרים בהפרש של כמה חודשים, ורק אחר כך הבנתי כמה הם מתחברים. הראשון שואל מי אנחנו, והשני שואל את מי אנחנו בוחרים. בשניהם יש משהו מאוד אישי שהופך מהר מאוד לשאלה הרבה יותר גדולה. זאת כנראה הסיבה ששני הספרים נשארו איתי.
איתי מ.תל אביב, ישראל
