i don't understand this advice. i think it's a stupid idea. why would you fake something? i don't think that's natural at all. acting in love with someone doesn't necessarily get you a ticket to 'love' in return. i put forth a LOT of efforts in my past relationships with little in return and i cared a lot. which i think shows love, or desperation :P
