Could you fake being in love?

Question

razelove · Accepted Answer

I'm morally opposed to it, so the objective would have to be righteous. I could though, you take all the things that you can't do naturally and blame it on an invented life. Thoroughly research the person you're trying to con, their friends, family, make things smooth, but mess up somewhere, like on your third date smear a baby ruth in your underwear and tearily admit you pooped a little because you came straight over after a 14 hour shift. Bonding, trust, all that good stuff. You can invent it if you time it right. It just isn't something that can be kept up.

So I would be bitter and grumpy from missing my family, I'd have to blame it on a parent recently dying or something. And that would get suspicious fast as conveniently I have no family around to meet, and my friends only show up once because you don't want your real circle there but theater actors. Yeah if you put your mind to it you CAN do anything, but it doesn't mean you should.

I love that picture! So cool!
I think you could fake charm and wit. To me, it's all about seeing how they react to your interests and the things that make you, you. Physical attraction I think is where it fails. You really need both but I'd say the most important is that emotional personality connection. To me, the biggest success is when you can wake up with morning breath and your hair all matted and your partner smiles and kisses you good morning. That's when. You know you have arrived. It's that moment when they like you for you. That could happen after a one night stand but to me, I think there is a moment when you know and feel that it's genuine. When you love that person for them and not for attaction is I think the kind of love that lasts and keeps you glued together

Nope.
I couldn’t even begin to fake the twinkle in my eye etc. (dead giveaway) lol and I’d existentially gag if I applied my “lovey dovey” stuff to someone I didn’t love.
And thirdly, there’d be too many specific natural mannerisms to study about myself, apply, and upkeep... It’d honestly be too draining to even fake the bare minimum. Sounds like a miserable full time job.

love is complicated, i dont think you can fake it, but i think its possible to not really know how you feel. You might think you're not in love because you have a warped picture of what that means in your head but you really are. Love is different for everyone but you can't fake the feels in your head.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I never have and I will be 66 in a few weeks, so it is unlikely to start at this point in my life.

kkirk4442 · Answer

Personally, I could not fake being in love. But there are many sociopaths and narcissists who can fake being in love, who know just how to find your vulnerabilities, and exploit them, manipulate you, and use you. That's one of the reasons it's best to be start a relationship with someone who you know, or with whom you have mutual friends, and to take your time to get to know someone before having sex with them, etc.

Lilas · Answer

No! I would be complitly uncomfortable doing that, it's like living in a lie. It's equally as bad for you and the other person, no one deserves to be lied to specially in this way.

vintagegirl90 · Answer

No, love is really strong feeling. It overwhelms you and your heart beats faster and slower. Also time moves slower, so I don’t think you can fake emotion like that. It’s one of the most raw and powerful feelings you can have in life.

Fake being in love, I think so mam so that the relationship lasts longer.
I mean sometimes it is possible that to protect a relationship, which they feel is important to them, people can fake love.
