If you have to make

someone fall in love with you…

I call that cheating.

    You can’t really make someone fall in love with you but you can give it pushes along I know. I wouldn’t call it cheating but it should happen naturally and not be forced. Also FYI If you are truly in love with your partner, there is no way you would be able to bring yourself too cheat on him. True story and I have never felt the need to cheat because he gives me all I need. I don’t look elsewhere, I’m loyal!

    You’re right. I’ve done it and the problem is that by the time they’re in love with you, you’re even more hooked. One day, they then realise that you’re not quite the person that they had been led to believe and you get dumped. You’re hurt, you look for a replacement. You feel the need to be perfect to be loved so you do it again. And again. Great point you made. Katie

      Exactly, Katie. It’s a tough pattern to break, too.

    We should certainly never have to make someone fall in love with us. Each and every one of us deserves to be loved truly. Nicely written <3

    I don’t know if it’s cheating, but it wouldn’t be worth the effort to me…
