Depends on how you define love or in what context you are meaning. There are many kinds of love relationships including love of a parent, love of children, love of a spouse, love of family or love of people in general. You can teach people to be “loving” but you cannot teach/ask them to love a particular person. Loving and love are two different things. For example one could be loving toward a neighbour but it doesn't mean they love that neighbour in the sense of being in love with him/her.

I don't believe that someone can teach/ask somebody to love that person because love comes out naturally, it is not forced.You can actually "open the door" to him/her to love but whether he/she falls in love will not be your fault.What you can also do is love that certain person but it cannot assure you that he/she will love you back. He/she might develop a feeling for you and it's up to you work on it so that it'll be a "full blown love".Forcing/bugging a person to love you won't do any good, it might even lead the other person to hate you for being so persistent especially if he/she already made it clear what is the kind of relationship that he/she wanted.

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.

I agree with Anonymous. Love is manifested from within. No one can give you tips, suggestions, instructions or directions on how to love. You can definitely learn to love, but only from yourself through observation or just naturally. Children... they're not taught to love their siblings, mothers or fathers, they are taught/shown that these people can be love and are or should be given reasons why they can be loved.

I simply said to my boyfriend "i want you to love me, will you please love me?" and he said he fell in love with me because i asked and he wanted to give me what i wanted.... is this good or bad??

No......if the vibes and chemistry are not there......look elsewhere

No.Love is a feeling from your heart..you cannot be taught that. And you cant just love somebody upon command.

"That" person is also the person who will teach you to love him. He should do everything to win your heart. If it still doesn't work.. then there's NO ONE ELSE.
