Do you think you can choose who you love?? for example if theres this hot guy very sucessful, great on paper and,your family loves him do you think you could make yourself fall in love with him over time even if the feelings aren't there? or for example of the opposite if your truely in love with someone no question about it but, you don't like the things he does and, your family dislikes him would you be able to fall out of love with him and move on over time?? My belief is if the feelings aren't there you can't force them to appear, and if you truely love someone you can never fully get over them and be happy with someone else. Cause if that was the case Love wouldn't be rare. I think a lot of people feel love for a number of people but have never really felt true love. whats your input on the subject.

That would be impossible. It is not possible to force ourselves to love other. Love has to come naturally. If love is to be forced, then it only means that that particualr love is preudo, duplicate. Such love is useless. It is not love at all. It is, on the other hand, either infatuation or pure lust.

Hello, Louprincesss112. In my opinion, real love is something that comes with time. After you have known a person for a long time and befriended that person, then real love might come in. You cannot force it, by telling yourself that you want to love somebody. You cannot stop it either. It happens, it is unavoidable. There is no way you can change the facts, when love hits you there is no running nor turning back. I really do not believe that you can stop loving somebody by your own will. Respectfully, Munhozmib.
