If you stare at someone you hate long enough, will you eventually love them?

I doubt it. I'd probably hate them more unless the person began doing things I admire.
-
I'm not sure, but Matthew 5:38-48 will teach you how to treat your enemies.

If they happen to survive the procedure, perhaps.

I must first say I have never hated anyone, I can't. Not that I forgive and forget, that would be lying. I may forget but it is hard to forgive and that is inflicting punishment on myself. If for reasonable circumstances I don't like someone, I ignore the person, it has happened that they can walk right in front of me and I don't see them. I have forgiven many people, it feels good to forgive but at times and circumstances it is so difficult to do so. Regards.

I'm going to try that with someone I severely dislike. I'll let you know how it goes. If I don't try to gouge my own eyes out.
-
No, I might want to hit them though...i wouldn't follow through...
-
do you know, possibly you might !!
-
That can happen.That should happen. Love can be everlasting;not hate:)
-
I don't hate anyone, but it wouldn't change how I felt about someone I disliked.
-
wouldn't that be cool:) but i don't think so...
-
You'll eventually pop them on the nose most likely. It doesn't work that way.
-
No, probably not. I'll probably just kill them. Or make a very good attempt at it.
-
The longer I stare at a hated person, the more I want to do lovely, wonderful, painful things to them

Can't say that has ever happened for me. However, it did for a guy I dated in high school. He glared me down every single day when I passed him on the way to classes and he sat at my table at lunch because we had mutual friends and would make snide comments to me all the time. One day I had enough and told him to f**k off, he got up and stuck a huge wad of chewing gum in my hair. With the full weight of my backpack, I hooked him and busted his nose. The bell rang and he went off with his bloody nose. Next thing I know, jerk boy had turned me in and I got called out of class to go answer for my "crime". The administrator was a huggy kissy kind of guy and he told us how wrong it was to slug it out in the lunch room and then left us to talk it out like adults. The second he left, the guy asked me out on a date! Go figure. Yeah, I went. . .it turns out he had a huge crush on me and had a really funny way of getting my attention.

Y'know I reckon that just might be possible :)

I don't "hate" anyone or anything. But if I dislike someone, I avoid being in the same place at the same time. On the other hand, sometimes you dislike someone simply because of lousy communication..if you keep talking and trying to understand each other (using civil, polite and respectful words), sometimes you end up really liking that person, once all the "confusing stuff" gets sorted out! :)
-
they say it's a fine line between the two - and maybe you really DO love them anyway but are too pig-headed to admit it! I don't know if I'd eventually grow to love someone I hate, but I have grown to like someone I've deeply disliked in the past... so who knows, with enough chocolate and other goodies, I just might... ;)

No, you will raise the hostilities with your staring. The best thing to do with someone you don't like and want to try to learn to like, is get close to them, find out why others like them and give them a chance to show you their good side. Work alongside of them or invite them to dinner, but don't stare at them.
