Have you ever gotten a person to love you by being insisting? (date, movies)

[BigCityDreamer]

If you try long enough and hard enough, can you get someone to love you?

Have you observed this to happen in real life, or does it only happen in movies?

If you try long enough and hard enough, you might be able to get someone to go on a date with you.

Love? No. And it's foolish to try.

Sometimes persistence does pay off. It's not my glass of Scotch, though, as far as doing it. I think it works for men better than it does for women.

Love or affection/time?? Time with someone may be able to be won, maybe even affection. But Love comes natural and easy. If it's there it's there, and sometimes it takes time for a person to realize or accept it's love, but I don't believe that it is something that can be "won" by persistance.

I think persistence pays when the object of your affection is unsure about you (which a lot of people fit in this category) or they're really down on their luck and want to settle.

I've spoken with a guy who was in an arranged marriage and he said love is overrated. He said if you life with someone and care for them long enough eventually you will learn to love them. My thing is if someone is so fugly that you can't sit across from them while eating it's not going to work.

There is and it's not a line that the average person can see clearly. Which is why people tend to over-err (imo) on the cautious side.

By the way, I'm convinced that people get with people they don't love quite often and they are unaware that they are doing this. It's in these instances that persistence could pay.

LOL! You beat me to it -- stalking is what came to my mind right off the bat

1% of the time, it's persistence.
99% of the time, it's stalking.

The difference is doing it with savoir faire. 99% of people out there do not have savoir faire.
