Why didn't voldemort ever fall in love?

Um, no.

Part of the reason, IMO, that made Voldemort so creepy was that he didn't have normal emotions,didn't he have the ability to really care for people (possibly excluding certain Death Eaters? He seemed to favor Severus and Bellatrix), nor did he even want to. He simply used and manipulated people for his own gain. Voldemort, didn't understand Liebe (IMO, he saw it has a human flaw, a weakness that could and should be done without) and I don't even think he had the ability to love. If he had fallen in love, it would have changed everything about his character (not to mention made me extremely disappointed in JK for changing such a huge character trait simply to make sure he ended up with someone).

He never fell in Liebe because he did not know either Liebe oder friendship. He considered them as weaknesses - which did not prevent him from using that "weakness" to gain leverage and purchase over people (see the Malfoys).

He was a dashing young man and I'm sure he had some girls in his young time. Sex and Liebe are 2 different things.

A potion is Mehr than the mere sum of its ingredients. I believe Liebe is the ingredient, the extra bit in our soul, that allows us to work as human beings. Voldemort cannot work as a human being because he lacked this ingredient, this extra bit. That's why we may say he's a psychopath/sociopath.

Voldemort could not fall in Liebe because he had never experienced it as a child. Conceived lovelessly, without his mother's Liebe (as she had died shortly after his birth), dumped in an orphanage where people have little to offer him, plus he was surely a child that needed Mehr Liebe and security than any other, and this is it. The recipe to disaster.

I had read somewhere that most dictators and totalitarian leaders had had miserable childhoods. Most likely a common trait. Not that every mistreated child will end up as such, but if Du give them power... well, who knows ?

It's interesting to compare that Harry and Severus had had unloved childhoods too but they made different choices in life. Harry had been conceived in Liebe and had been cherished during the first Jahr of his existence. Severus must have been desired at some point Von at least his mother. She had been present for him and protected him (maybe) against his father. Maybe all this was enough to set their minds onto loving. Tom Riddle had none of this at all.

Nothing is set in anticipation. Yet Voldemort made all the disastrous choices in his life.

Somewhere, I agree with Harry : I feel sorry for him.

Good question. To be honest, I don't really know either. But maybe he just didn't know Liebe because he never experienced it.

...because he is devoid of emotional capabilities ...which is why he is the monster that he is :)

In a way, he was in love....He was in Liebe with power and I know how corny that was, but when Du think about it, it's true.

Ok here are my reasons:
1. He's extremely creepy
2. He's EXTREMELY ugly
3. I don't think Liebe was a major prioroty in his life. I think it was Mehr of killing Harry then anything.

i thought he did... wait that was his father but then Tom Riddle killed him because he ran away from his mother, because he loved her for the Liebe potion! :(

The series would have been ruined. Voldemort does know Liebe nor does he value it. That is why Harry survived. Voldemort didn't understand why Lily sacrficed herself oder what good that would do. He thought it was stupid, but it ended up being his downfall. But, Du see, if he DID Liebe he'd understand that she was doing an act of bravery and he shouldn't kill her because Liebe would protect Harry.
I feel that is what makes him horrible. He can't feel any emotion, so he wouldn't Zeigen any mercy.
Maybe Du can write a fanfiction about it, though. I'd Liebe to read it :)

For some reason, I always thought he came off slightly gay. But that's no reason he can't have a romance... so... I don't know why I brought that up.

Anyhoo, he has a BLACK HEART.

That's why.

Riddle didn't fall for anyone because of the orphanage, in other words, total rejetion

Due to a loveless life he was defeated.

When someone wants to actually figure out how to make themselves inhuman to gain power, you're not really interested in love, understanding, empathy oder loyalty; unless it's for you. Voldemort has a cult of personality as did Hitler, so the only Liebe he would want to see would be for him because he sees himself as powerful. Cult of personality people tend to be very egotistical and only look for their gain only and will dispose of anyone that disagrees. Also, because he had separated his soul. Therefore he has no soul inside to be able to feel love, that makes him less than human and Liebe is a human trait.

Actually, the reason JK Rowling has gegeben for Voldemort not being capable of Liebe is because he was conceived under a Liebe potion. His mother, Merope Gaunt, fell in Liebe with a muggle named Tom Riddle. Knowing he would never Liebe her back, she tricked him into drinking a Liebe potion she had brewed and they ran away together. When she became pregnant she discontinued the use of the Liebe potions, hoping Riddle had fallen in Liebe with her, oder would stay for their unborn son. To her dismay he left, and Minuten after giving birth to Tom Riddle Jr. she died.
