    Love can definately be learned. Most emotional feelings can be attained by practicing the motions for awhile. For instance, when I got my first girlfriend I had yet to reach the point in my progression where I actually liked girls. But, she was nice I approved of her personality as a person so I agreed to it, since she wanted it. I then put myself to the task of acting like I thought I should act if I was someone's boyfriend. It took a month or two, but after treating her so nicely for that much time, I couldn't help but love her. I really felt the way I'd been behaving.

    Similarly, children sometimes need to be taught to love one another. It comes so naturally to them when they are younger, but as they are older and when they have not grown up in a good environment they may become hostile. But with the guidance of a figure in authority they can learn to begin to express love rather than hostility. And even if you say they loved each other before, it's definately a lot stronger now. (This situation is what is happening with my nieces and nephew being trained by my grandmother, after their parents divorce.)

    As for asking somebody to love that person, you can ask all you want, but unless you are in a posistion to control them in some way, it's completely up to them if they do. But once again, if you're having problems loving someone who you want to love, one of the best methods is to fake it til you make it.
