How can you make someone love you?My friend asked me this question yesterday and I had no answer. I was dumb stuck. The only thing I said is that "...you cannot make someone love you." He was hurt but I believe that it is the truth. Nobody can make someone love him. But am I right? Is it possible?

It's true, you can't make anyone love you. You can hope that they have feelings for you, but to actually "make" someone love you, it's not possible. Love comes from God. Sorry, if your friend doesn't understand this. You have to have feelings for each other.

That's right. Sometimes it just wasn't meant to be... God has someone else out there for you somewhere.

That is what I said to him. Wait for someone else. You can try as much as you want but it is fruitless, if the girl actually does not feel anything for you. Thank you for the response.

Yes its true but u can make someone love u slowly and steadly. You must have lots of patience and you can attract him/her but your constant attention. You can always talk with them about you as a couple, what futre will bring if both of you are together. What would be the long and short term goals etc. Or u can do it by especailly rememebring all the good times of their life. Getting up and going to bed talk with them and so on and so forth. The magic will work one day.

Hi eddify, It really takes a lot of time and hard work to create that magic. When can I make it happen is the question. I am afraid I may never get the answer. I am too shy to woo people around and make them fall in love with me. In any case,I do not think someone can be made to fall in love. It comes naturally and cannot be forced.

Yes, that can definitely be done. There is no problem in that. These things create the initial attraction and then only love follows.

You cant force but u can make your presence felt by your actions? By saying sweet words, sending nice text messages, emails etc. I am also not in the idea od forcing someone but u can always do some nice small things to make someone attract

I can only answer from my own experience and that is that nobody could make me love them if I didn't already do so. I don't know anybody who has been forced into this. Love, is a state of being, that you realize. You can only be in love, not made to love. It just happens within your self when you meet somebody... or not.. - Derek

There are so many kinds of love in this world. It is nice to hear that you have a loving family. Enjoy and best of luck with your life.

Hi Derek, I agree. It is an inner feeling and someone cannot be made to feel love. Do you love someone?

You cannot make or force someone to love you. Love is a feeling, an emotion that is felt in the heart chakra. I also say that true love comes only once and at the first instance. After that it is just infatuation. Some people keep falling in and out of love at the drop of a hat.This type of love is not treu love. If you love someone truly then you will never leave that person in your entire lifetime.You can of course do your best in bringing a person close to you but you cannot make them fall in love with you.They have to feel love for you.You can take a horse to drink but cannot make it drink, as the saying goes.

Not often. I can see trying this and with the right person it might even work. I don't really think it is possible either. I think you can set all the wheels in motion but it is not normally something that happens. It takes the right smell, the right feeling, all of that to make it happen.

Hi Celtic, Maybe you are right. I am too ill experienced about all this to know for sure. That is why I asked you people and now, I am getting a mixed opinion. What a shame!

i think it's possible. but i dont like this way. love is a mutual feeling. to love someone who dont love u, is a painful thing. to be loved by someone whom u dont love, is a tired thing.

Hi yolanda, I felt that was a little too harsh. Loved by someone whom you do not love is not a tired thing. I thought that such people really enjoy that attention as long as it is within a limit. Thank you for responding. Have a nice day.

No one can make any one love someone, is a personal choice we love what we chose to love and that is that!

I don't know if you can actually make some one love you. However, you can tip the scales in your favor by how you act and what you say. All of us want to be loved and needed. Making some one feel that way will cause them to have good thoughts of you, which can turn into love. Basically treat them the way you would want to be treated. Care should be taken not to overdo it though, otherwise they could feel like they are being stalked and go in the opposite direction.

I guess that at my age it takes the profile a little longer to load... Thanks for your kind words, and rest assured, I'm not ready to get put out to pasture yet.

Is there something wrong with your profile? I had to refresh the page 4 times before I could get a look at your profile. I guess, my net was down. I just wanted to look at your age as I thought you were quite matured to have given such a great response. It seems I was right. Thank you for the response. I loved it.

Oh My... I cannot imagine what will happen to your profile when you will reach the 90's. It will take a whole day to just view your profile. No, I will take a screenshot of your profile and that will save all that time.

Hi Sagnik :) Oh, wouldn't it be nice if we really could make someone love us? But no, love is not that way. We each feel it for someone or we do not. It cannot be forced. However, I do believe love can be encouraged when we are kind and loving to others, we are more apt to attract love to us. Karen

I do believe it is possible to make someone like then love you. It's all about showing them what they want to see. My friends call it tuning.

You can do that with your pets but not with human beings. No matter how much you bend backwards to impress someone with your kindness or whatever that person may tolerate you but you will not be loved in return. I have experienced it.

I think it is possible to make someone love you. You just need the right situation. One basic principle, no matter what, no matter who, no matter when, any men has a chance to sweep any women off her feet. What you need is just the right broom.

Wish I had one. Or maybe I do but do not know about it. Can you recommend me some nice brooms? If it can sweep off my love's feet, that is fine, but otherwise I hope it can at least sweep off the floor.

I dont think in most cases you can. However, I do think that in some cases when one person knows maybe that the two are meant to be then it can be possible for the other to "win" the other.

I don't think you can. I was crazy about this guy and heart broken when he broke up with me. I kind of kept at him and he finally said to me, "Why would you want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you?" Hard to take, but it is so very true. On the other hand, that same guy came back into my life and saw a different me. I was raising a daughter by myself. I was more independent, less needy. We started seeing each other again and now we've been married 12 years. Did I make him love me? No. I changed myself to be a more attractive person (I don't mean physical beauty) in his eyes. I didn't do it intentionally though. You can't change others. You can only change yourself and others will react to that change.

That is really great, Pat. There is nothing better in this world than to be married with the person you love and be with him. I wish you all the very best in your life. Have a nice day and thank you for responding.

I have to agree with you. If someone doesn't love you, you sure can't make them. You can stand on your head for them and if they aren't feeling it it just isn't going to be there. Of course, there are different kinds of love and you can cause someone to love you in different ways but that is NOT the same as making someone love you. It is still something that is their decision to do and not something that you can force onto them if they don't what it to happen.

Hello IDO, It is nice to find out that you are also of the same opinion. It is a great feeling when you find someone agreeing with you. Thank you for responding.

i think it's possible for anyone to fall in love with anyone, but to make someone love a person by force? i dont think so...i think the will has to come from the person him/herself. you could do things to give him/her a "push", but then again, that's just it..it's still up to them if they'll fall in love or not. let's just hope for the best for your friend...anything's possible (but not probable).

Hi kquiming, That word is just perfect. 'Probable'. I also think it is not probable for him to get his girl. She loves someone else with all her heart and that other guy also loves her a lot. I guess, he will have to wait for someone else.

hi,it is possible,if plan correctly,honestly..if have a true love,you can gain their acceptence by doing all the activities which they like... Is is very much hapening in the society,now a days.what more others want for falling in love...they all i you have in you or i have try to have in you..leads to make others to love. Have a nice time.

I agree that you can‘t make other person to love you. Even if some feelings can be manipulated, when it comes to personal tastes, if you dislike eating cheese nobody can make you like it. It`s exactly the same when it comes to like one person. It`s sad but true.

Hi mad, You are quite right. It just cannot be forced on someone. It comes naturally and there is nothing one can do to change it. Thank you.
