How do you make a girl love you?

Welcome to fluther. You can’t make someone love you. Love can only be given.

Too little information here.

Be kind to her, smile to her, improve yourself… in short try to make a good impression on her. But like @Adirondackwannabe said, love can only be given. Making a good impression only increases the chance that she will love you.

You can’t make anyone love you. Love is a weird thing. There are people that sound like a perfect match for you (or you for them) on paper, but unless there is chemistry and physical attraction, love won’t come.

Love almost never is of the “at first sight” variety. Most people that come to love someone, do so after getting to know them very well first, becoming friends with them and then maybe falling in romantic love with them, but it can’t be orchestrated or forced.

Your best bet is to be nice to this girl (not clingy or appearing to be desperate, because that is a huge turn off). Be funny in a kind, light-hearted way (don’t be sarcastic or cynical and don’t use crude humor). Keep up on current events and pop culture, so you can have a regular conversation with her, or anyone else. Never act like a know it all. Be interested in what she and other people have to say. Be kind to animals. Take an interest in activities that you actually enjoy (don’t force yourself to participate in sports or other activities that are of no interest to you, simply to impress her, that will go badly in the long run). Invite her to join you, casually, in activities that you are going to do anyway. Invite her along with her friends or other groups of people, so she doesn’t feel singled out. That way, you can get to know her, without the pressure of a one on one meeting. If you guys hit it off, then you can do stuff, without the rest of the crowd tagging along later, but only once you’ve gotten to know her and get an idea that she’s interested in you (in that way).

Good luck.

I like that line from @Adirondackwannabe. I’m going to steal it.

I can also tell you that if you “try to make someone love you” then you will in all probability drive that person away. (And she will do that partly out of respect for you, because it’s a pitiful thing to witness. Please don’t try.)

On the other hand… it never hurts to be “lovable” in the way that @Kardamom suggests, and then let her find that out about you (don’t broadcast the fact, or you’ll negate it). You can do that (seriously) by adopting the relevant parts of the Scout Oath (Promise) from the Boy Scouts. It won’t hurt, and it could help.

If she’s willing to participate in the exercise you could try this.

The best way, likely the only way, is not to try. Simply be yourself when you’re around her and treat her with kindness and respect. Cupid will or won’t take it from there.

Do everything, anything, that you feel like doing and see what happens. Don’t stalk her, do behave politely, be yourself… Whatever that means. Poetry, serenades and making her laugh might help.
But, ask yourself this: what do you mean by ‘love’? Do you respect her utterly, hold her in such high regard that in fact you would willingly let her be loved by and love another and want her to be happy? If it would please you to see her having a lovely life, then perhaps you are in love with her; maybe she’ll notice and reciprocate. Or maybe not.
Good luck.

Listen to her, really listen. And care about what she is saying to you. Try to see the world through her eyes and share who and what your are with her.

Sincerity that you love her. If she is perceptive, she will know it.
