Well, nobody else touched on this in this post. Free will and love. Free will is part of love. That's the crux of this thing we call "love." If someone is under coercion or control so to speak, being forced to love you, it's not really love, as it's one sided. So even if you were like, God, and could control everything in the world, and this girl's free will was altered to love you, even without her knowing, it wouldn't be real love, as she'd not be actually deciding to love you. In that case, her "love" for you would be little more than a robot or computer program's love for you.
And this is the unfortunate thing many people do not understand about love, the requirement of freewill for it to exist. It sucks, because it's the one problem in life you cannot solve completely by yourself. You can force any machine or other inanimate object to do whatever you want, we as mankind can even control the weather now. But, we cannot "make" people love us, due to the requirement for freewill in love, so while people can easily be controlled, and even controlled into acting loving toward a person, the truer the love, the higher the free will of the person.
Interesting to ponder.
Exactly, that's why the genie in Aladin couldn't grant a love wish.
