Q. How can I make him/her love me?
A. At Teen Advice we get this question a lot and the answer is really quite simple – you can’t make somebody love you. There is nothing you can do or say to make a person who isn’t already smitten suddenly do an about face and fall for you. There is nothing you can change about yourself, no clothing you can buy, no team you can join, no club you can get in to, and no hairstyle you can try that will make a person who isn’t in to you already suddenly notice you and fall in love.
