an examination of conscience... if you were in love with someone (or at least thought you were), and they didn't feel the same way about you for whatever reason, but you somehow acquired the ability to change that (i.e. you acquire the ability to change your appearance at will, you come across a number of wishes that can affect someones affections

forgive me im a hopeless romantic

[glitzygal86]

i believe that u cant have true love unless it comes both ways so how can one then fall in LOVE and not have mutual feelings from the other person? i wouldnt want to alter anything about me bc 1. i think its important to accept yourself as who you are and if u dont like something than fix it...by a means that would make u proud that u worked so hard not by something that gives u no sense of accomplishment. and 2. i think that their really is one person out there for everyone, u know a soulmate kinda deal and by altering urself u could be altering ur chance of meeting ur soulmate and knowing that that is the one bc the soulmate was destined to fall in love with u not an altered u

so i can't be in love with someone that doesn't love me back? that can't be true...we'd all be way happier.
and it's nice to think that we should all be happy with ourselves and have a soulmate, but honestly, i know there has to have been one point in time when you've wanted to change yourself for someone.
much love.

i think that people like to fixate on things that they cant have and thus by fixating on it they convience themselves that they r in love. but i dont think true love can happen w/o the other person having the same feelings. bc in my opinion true love is the source of all happiness and if the person doesnt love u back how can that be a source of happiness?
and well yeah of course there has been times when ive wanted to change myself bc the other person didnt love me back...but w/ time i realized that they r the ones missing out not me and i will find someone who will accept me for me all faults included and not for anything else, thats what i think makes love so amazing that one can so easily look past the others faults.

not to start an lj battle (though that would be a good time in and of itself)...didn't you just contradict yourself?

...

if they didn't love you back...you're implying that you loved them and it wasn't reciprocated. but that can't be, you say love has to exist from both angles.
danielle shirley tried to convince me of this once and i didn't get it, i still don't. love can be mutual, but it can also be one-sided. that's why there's heartbreak and marriages that continue with affairs. it's rare to love someone that loves you back.
i think. but what do i know.
much love.

I think that you would have to deffinately know that you loved the other person. Remember love is very blind. If you really love someone I think that you would do anything for that person, like making yourself a better person. (ie. breaking a bad habit that may irritate your partner) But they must first love you and dislike only parts of you.
Another angle would consist of the fact that you cant make someone love you. No matter what you do, they wont love you. They might love the fake person you become, but you cant keep up a fake personality very long. Hope this helps. Love you.

no, but maybe

normally, the answer'd be no. you'd want the attention to be TRULY genuine and not artificial. most cases. some situations tho, are a little different. sometimes, you care for an individual so intensely that you'd do ANYTHING to be able to spend even just a few moments with them. where if they died, you'd follow them without hesitation and have no regrets. the one person that brings you heaven on right here on earth, just by seeing them smile. most of the time, your not even sure that they feel the same way about you, but it really doesn't matter. for this particular situation i might just take advantage of opportunity.
