How to make yourself love?

How to make yourself love someone else?
Well, I have a bunch of cliches for you- that happen to be true.
One- you can’t love another until you love yourself. Cheesy, I know. But, in my experience, it’s true. Until you know what you want, what your own self-worth is and that you deserve it, you really can’t love another…deeply.
Two- I never knew a love as deep as the love for my son. I love my husband, I love my friends and I love my family. None of those compare to the love I have for my baby.

So, looking past the cliches my tips would be to:
value yourself, know what you want from love (or a loved partner) and…have a kid? Well, maybe the last one is a jump but it works :)

Love is not an emotion – it is a choice to put the needs of another before your own. How do you do that? One choice at a time.

@bobbinhood said it best. I also like a quote from “Dan in Real Life” (paraphrased) – “Love isn’t an emotion – it’s an ability.”

The most practical answer is – practice makes perfect.

You can’t really make yourself love. If someone is just a friend, and nothing more than that, you can’t force the relationship to be anything more than that. It just doesn’t work. You can get yourself convinced that you like this person so much that it has to be love, but you’ll always know in your gut that it isn’t meant to be.

Well, you start by sticking your hand down your pants, then — oh, wait, that’s how you make love to yourself.

You already do. There is something, someone who had made you feel a feeling unlike any other. Looking in your childs eye, Saying I do to my beautiful wife were times that I feel that rapture of love and being loved.

Before then it was very hard for me to understand what that feeling was, that everyone talked about, sang about, wrote poems about. Because in the world in which I grew up, there were no fairy tales, no hugs, no I love you’s. tuck ins, etc.

Love was only explained to me when my wife gave it to me UNCONDITIONALLY.

I think you have to love yourself first. You can only love yourself when you are happy with who you are. This seems true. People have to love you back and love you for who you are as well.
