What does it mean to have the person you so desperately want to fall in love with you, change so completely, that they cease doing what they love, and want "only solitude and you"?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 02:03:03 UTC

What can you surmise about a person who would want to "force" someone to love them rather than have love come about in the usual way?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 03:39:52 UTC

If a person loses all sense of self and becomes - as the love potion would have you believe - totally and completely devoted to another, can you honestly say that its recipient is the same person? Why or why not?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 03:41:44 UTC

If you needed to force the hand of love, is that really love in the first place?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 03:42:18 UTC

Consider for a moment, the idea that instead of two separate potions, the love concoction and the glove-cleaner/life-cleaner were in fact two ingredients of ONE cocktail. What would you make of the apothecary and his sales technique in this instance?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 03:45:14 UTC

Woud you buy the love potion? Why or why not?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 03:45:32 UTC

Imagine someone gave you the love potion, then by luck, you found the antidote (a medicine taken to counteract a particular poison). Explain how you would feel to have been tricked. What would you do next?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 03:48:29 UTC

What are the benefits of the love potion? What are the consequences?

mklein105 — 2024-02-15 03:48:47 UTC

2024-02-15 16:32:52 UTC

It is not really love if you feel like you have to make it happen you don't really love the person if you have to forse it to happen.

Noah

2024-02-15 18:32:08 UTC

In Love and can't control their love that they force you to be in love with them

Emily

2024-02-15 18:33:56 UTC

The benefits were that he got the woman he loved and even though he would be happy, he would only be happy for a short period of time. Soon, he would realize that her obsession was not as good as he thought.

Ciara Lee

2024-02-15 18:34:09 UTC

I don't think that love is actually love if you need to force it because they don't love you in the first place and the only reason you would give them the potion is if they don't love you.

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:34:13 UTC

They only want you instead of everything else in their life and will probably discard their own interests just to be with you

Cella

2024-02-15 18:34:22 UTC

That love becomes so strong that they can't control it. It won't be true love, but instead they would have to do things in order to make them love each other.

Emily

2024-02-15 18:34:41 UTC

Desperate

Charlotte

ss28399 — 2024-02-15 18:35:07 UTC

The person is very obsessed with you, not in love.

Aaron

2024-02-15 18:35:45 UTC

It means that the person that loves you is so madly in love with you it becomes an obsession.

Ciara Lee

2024-02-15 18:35:52 UTC

The advantages is that they would love you forever, but the disadvantage is that you would never have time to be alone and by yourself.

Noah

2024-02-15 18:35:52 UTC

They are very desperate for love

Kenneth

2024-02-15 18:35:56 UTC

Fake love.

Leo

2024-02-15 18:36:26 UTC

It means that it is fake love.

Ana

2024-02-15 18:36:29 UTC

Kind of exhausting to constantly have to be there for them

Charlotte

ss28399 — 2024-02-15 18:36:55 UTC

They would do anything to get what they want.

Leo

2024-02-15 18:37:05 UTC

That they are desperate

Kenneth

2024-02-15 18:37:09 UTC

They're desperate for love.

Ciara

2024-02-15 18:37:14 UTC

Her love for him would become out of control and it wouldn't be real love

Cella

2024-02-15 18:37:15 UTC

That person knows that they aren't good enough for that person, so they do something that makes them fall in love with them, so it wouldn't be real love.

Matt Miller

2024-02-15 18:37:21 UTC

They would follow you forever and would never chase anything, but you.

Emily

2024-02-15 18:37:29 UTC

I would not buy the love potion because even though some may be desperate for love, the love potion isn't giving love but obsession. I would rather have a person who truly loved me instead of them loving me from a potion they were forced to take.

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:37:34 UTC

Desperation

Ciara

2024-02-15 18:38:01 UTC

They really desperately want love.

Nico

2024-02-15 18:38:23 UTC

to me i think someone who only wants you is faking there love

Joey

2024-02-15 18:38:33 UTC

The person would have a strong obsession about you and it wouldn't be true love. You would only enjoy their obsession for a while and then find it annoying but wouldn't be able to change their mind.

Megan

2024-02-15 18:38:41 UTC

They are obsessed with you

Luke

2024-02-15 18:39:12 UTC

No. If someone is forced to love, it is not their choice, and therefore, does not love you.

Ciara

2024-02-15 18:39:23 UTC

I don't think they would be the same person because they would be blinded by their love for whoever gave them the potion.

Ana

2024-02-15 18:39:31 UTC

No they are not the same. You love somebody for their traits and their personality. You are basically just wiping that all up and making you their personality.

Olivia Park

2024-02-15 18:39:59 UTC

The benefits of a love potion would be that he would be able to love the woman that he wanted an be happy and be able to live with her but he could get overwhelmed and notice that giving her the potion was a bad idea.

They are a bad person

2024-02-15 18:40:18 UTC

Joey

2024-02-15 18:40:21 UTC

They are desperate and can't take "no" for an answer.

Ciara

2024-02-15 18:40:52 UTC

His sales technique wouldn't be good because they wouldn't have experienced the bad effects of the love potion. Also, someone who wanted to buy the love potion would never have thought of buying the life cleaner.

Noah

2024-02-15 18:40:53 UTC

You are not yourself you have to be concentrate about their personality

they are very desperate for love

2024-02-15 18:41:03 UTC

Megan

2024-02-15 18:41:30 UTC

I wouldn't buy the love potion because they will be obsessed with you forever even if you don't like them anymore.

Ana

2024-02-15 18:41:35 UTC

They are desperate and never take the time to think stuff through.

Joey

2024-02-15 18:41:36 UTC

They wouldn't truly be the same person because they gave up everything they loved to chase you

Evangelina

2024-02-15 18:41:40 UTC

I don't think the person would be the same. If the person was initially not attracted to the other, then living their whole life with an obsession with someone they don't love would change everything.

Ciara

2024-02-15 18:41:47 UTC

No, I wouldn't because after a while it would get annoying and it wouldn't be true love.

Cella

2024-02-15 18:41:51 UTC

No, because it won't mean that they actually love the person and they won't be their true selves. They'll be under a spell, and the love that they express won't be what they're actually thinking.

N-o-a-h

2024-02-15 18:42:05 UTC

Love would be not true and i don't think it is actually love

Emily

2024-02-15 18:42:38 UTC

No, they would look the same but their opinions about the person would change completely and it can lead to them having a different personality

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:42:41 UTC

No, if they just follow you wherever you go and give up their own interests, then their personality turns different into a desperate love machine.

Luke

2024-02-15 18:43:12 UTC

No. I want to be naturally loved and I would not want somebody following me every day of my life. I personally don't need it anyway. It would just limit the people who like me.

Olivia Park

2024-02-15 18:43:26 UTC

I would feel sad that someone tricked me into loving someone when they could have just asked. Would confront the person that gave me the potion and ask why he gave me a potion instead of just asking.

Matt Miller

2024-02-15 18:43:29 UTC

I would buy the potion, not that I need it, but I could just ask for money, and I could just leave the country and return with another potion.

Cella

2024-02-15 18:43:41 UTC

No, if it was true love, they wouldn't need the potion in order to make the other person love them. They'll be confident about their relationship and will know that they are a true couple.

Megan

2024-02-15 18:43:53 UTC

They are desperate for love

Nikolai

2024-02-15 18:43:56 UTC

It's not actually love, they are just obsessed with you. They don't really have feelings for you. Just making someone love you is not right, you need love to come naturally and you won't have to force it on other people.

Ben

2024-02-15 18:43:56 UTC

The love becomes an obsession.

Evangelina

2024-02-15 18:44:01 UTC

Definitely not. Love should come naturally, without being forced. Having someone who is forced to love you probably wouldn't be a great feeling. It's not true love if it isn't true

This is a good sales technique, because if anyone wants to buy the love potion, they will eventually buy the life cleaner. Carter

2024-02-15 18:44:07 UTC

Ana

2024-02-15 18:44:10 UTC

It depends how much I think it though. If it's a spur of the moment thing and I didn't think it through then maybe and I was really desperate.

Emily

2024-02-15 18:44:20 UTC

If I ever found out, I would be upset that they couldn't have worked hard to have made me love them. Instead, they gave me a love potion.

Kenneth

2024-02-15 18:44:22 UTC

No because they would change everything in their life just so they could be w/you.

Leo

2024-02-15 18:44:29 UTC

No, because they would completely shift their interests and hobbies for you.

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:44:41 UTC

No, because you don't feel like you've actually met them in their real attitude.

Joey

2024-02-15 18:44:54 UTC

I would feel very betrayed if I knew the person before. If I didn't know the person I would find them and decide if I liked them back. If not then I would stay cautious about what I drink in case they attempt to make me fall in love again.

no--ah

2024-02-15 18:44:55 UTC

i would not buy it because i would not to have a girl be obsessed with me and after me being selfish for what i did

Megan

2024-02-15 18:45:12 UTC

They are not the same person, they would be very different.

Ciara

2024-02-15 18:45:13 UTC

I would feel really sad and disappointing that they tricked me and I would try and figure out why they did it.

Charlotte

ss28399 — 2024-02-15 18:45:15 UTC

If you force a person to love you, it is not real love because they did not choose to love you. Love cannot be forced.

Ben

2024-02-15 18:45:21 UTC

they are extremely lonely, and are super cruel, not caring about what the person they are doing this to wants, or what will happen to them.

Luke

2024-02-15 18:45:28 UTC

Personally, I would lose all interest in the person, knowing they betrayed me and all my love for them was fake. I would find someone else to truthfully love and maybe buy the life cleaning potion and give it to the person who gave me the love potion.

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:45:43 UTC

I would because i can sell it to people for over 1000 dollars and buy more from the old man for 1 dollar, and make a lot of profit.

Megan

2024-02-15 18:45:45 UTC

No, because it is forced.

Olivia Park

2024-02-15 18:45:45 UTC

I would not by the potion because i don't wanna trick someone to loving as that is just cruel and greedy. Along with that love is meant to found not bought or fake.

Emily

2024-02-15 18:45:52 UTC

No, that is not love. Love should not have to be forced but instead it should come by their judgement of that person.

They have jealousy that they might find someone better than you

2024-02-15 18:46:04 UTC

Cella

2024-02-15 18:46:16 UTC

His sales technique would be bad because they won't have the bad effects of the potion. They wouldn't want the person to die, and also the potion is really cheap, so the old man wouldn't make a profit and the customers wouldn't come back for more cocktails.

Kenenth

2024-02-15 18:46:21 UTC

No, because this love is forced and is not true love. They do not truly love you.

Evangelina

2024-02-15 18:46:53 UTC

I wouldn't buy it. Real love doesn't need to be forced and I definitely don't ever want to force someone else to be in love when they aren't.

Joey

2024-02-15 18:47:08 UTC

It isn't love because love happens naturally and if you give someone a love potion they would just have a very strong obsession with you.

Matt Miller

2024-02-15 18:47:20 UTC

The person who bought the love potion would be a selfish person to force someone to love them.

Ben

2024-02-15 18:47:31 UTC

No, because the persons attributes and things that make them unique would be completely changed and overrun by the love for the dude.

noah

2024-02-15 18:47:31 UTC

he would no make any sales and if you wanted to buy it but then they die soon :(

Cella

2024-02-15 18:47:41 UTC

I wouldn't buy the love potion because if I knew I needed the love potion, I would know that the love I had wasn't true love. I wouldn't need to give that person a love potion in order for them to love me.

Olivia

2024-02-15 18:47:56 UTC

This is not really love if it is forced it would be fake love. Love is meant to be found not forced.

Charlotte

ss28399 — 2024-02-15 18:48:43 UTC

No, they would not be the same person because they give up themselves and devote everything to you. You become their whole personality, and all the traits that you loved about them are wiped and replaced with an obsession with you.

it is not love because if you buy a potion to make someone like you that is not love

2024-02-15 18:49:04 UTC

Megan

2024-02-15 18:49:11 UTC

The sales technique is good because people will buy the life cleaner after the love potion.

Ben

2024-02-15 18:49:14 UTC

No. The person does not have control of their actions, and is being forced to show "love" towards the other person.

Jake Webb

2024-02-15 18:49:16 UTC

I would not by the potion even for a super model because I want to be able to go place without someone super worried about me. I would also not want to ruin a person life by giving to them.

Harper

2024-02-15 18:49:21 UTC

It means that they only care about you and nothing else, that their sole interest in life is you and nothing else. That they don't want anything or anyone interrupting time that they could be having with you; solitude and you. It's like stalking but on a whole other level, and in this case the person who is being stalked or obsessed with insinuated or wanted it in the first place.

Evangelina

2024-02-15 18:49:22 UTC

I would be upset that a big part of my life was wasted. It would be really unfair and I would definitely cut that person out of my life. I would be sad that I missed out a lot of my life on someone I didn't love.

Cella

2024-02-15 18:49:25 UTC

I wouldn't be happy because I thought that I loved the person for real, and not just because of a love potion. I would feel hurt, and I won't talk to the person again.

Matt Miler

2024-02-15 18:49:36 UTC

Yes, because they would want someone to desire for them as they desire for the recipient.

Joey

2024-02-15 18:49:39 UTC

I wouldn't buy the love potion because over time they would become very annoying. True love is when someone gets to know you over time instead of making them love you.

Luke

2024-02-15 18:50:04 UTC

I think the only benefit is getting someone to love you. If you have no chance and really desperate, this would be perfect for you. Imagine you used this in middle school, and you were stuck with the person for the rest of their life. This would get tiring and you would probably go back to the old man and buy the life cleaning potion. There re no good benefits and it almost always ends up with the person dying.

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:50:05 UTC

I wouldn't do it because I have a better way to make money, and it's cruel

Megan

2024-02-15 18:50:05 UTC

I would be very mad at the person ad never talk to them again.

Olivia Park

2024-02-15 18:50:37 UTC

They would not be the same person as their personality makes up who they are. They would get too caught up into loving someone that they would lose themselves in the process.

Leo

2024-02-15 18:50:45 UTC

No, that is not love. Feeding someone a potion that forces them to love you is more fake than true love.

Harper

2024-02-15 18:50:48 UTC

I can surmise that person like a toddler, they can't take no for an answer and they will try to get what they want even if it causes them to do unnecessary and bad things. I can also surmise that this person isn't patient at all, as they can't wait for love to come their way and think this exact person is the one for them even though she doesn't like him back. I can also conclude this person is controlling and manipulative.

Megan

2024-02-15 18:51:15 UTC

The benefits are the person really falls in love with you

Noah

2024-02-15 18:51:32 UTC

if i was tricked i would be mad because then after she would get sick of me and kill me and i dont want to die i still i have time to live :__(

Matt Miller

2024-02-15 18:51:32 UTC

Yes, because it is a love potion forces love, it isn't perfect love, but it is still love.

Kenneth

2024-02-15 18:51:41 UTC

bad sales because no one would want to kill their loved one.

Cella

2024-02-15 18:51:44 UTC

The benefits of the love potion is that the person will seem like they really love you, and you won't have to worry about them cheating on you or not loving you anymore. However, the love that they express won't be true love, and you'll also be stuck with the guilt forever. The person will also be so obsessed with you that you'll be sick and tired of them. Also, if you don't love them anymore, there's probably no antidote.

Evangelina

2024-02-15 18:51:44 UTC

Although in the moment the feeling is good, the consequences would be greater. The person would be desperate in the beginning, and desperate in the end. Desperate for love, then desperate to get out of love.

Joey

2024-02-15 18:52:01 UTC

Some benefits would be that the person you have loved for a long time would love you back like you wanted them to, but over time they would become annoying and you would want them out of your life but because of the potion they would keep trying to get to you.

roxy

2024-02-15 18:52:05 UTC

Personally, I would not buy the love potion. Even though it is 1 dollar in 30 years, you probably would not want someone to be obsessed with you every single day of your life

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:52:07 UTC

I would call the police, take him/her to court, find the old man, and put him in jail along with the person that gave me the potion.

roxy

2024-02-15 18:52:38 UTC

it means love that is not actually real

Olivia Park

2024-02-15 18:52:56 UTC

They just want someone to love them even if it takes force. They could not be in the right mindset as this is such a mean thing to do to someone.

Nikolai

2024-02-15 18:53:09 UTC

No, absolutely not. Love needs to come naturally than forcing it.

roxy

2024-02-15 18:53:13 UTC

they are very desperate for love

Jimmy

2024-02-15 18:53:19 UTC

i would not buy the love potion because they will be in love with me forever.

Isaac

2024-02-15 18:53:21 UTC

The benefits are that people will love you regardless to who you are, the bad things is that they will love you too much.

Aaron

2024-02-15 18:53:25 UTC

I think it should be sold individually because why would you love someone and try and kill them at the same time? People buy the life cleaner after they realize what a curse it is to have someone who loves you that much.

Kenneth

2024-02-15 18:53:31 UTC

Even if I were desperate, I wouldn't because it's not ethical and they would be so obsessed with you that it would be annoying.

Harper

2024-02-15 18:53:49 UTC

No, not if the person being given the love potion didn't want to love or date that person in the first place, then that is a different person all together, because now they are obsessed with them and want nothing else but them, and before they wanted nothing to do with them,

Evangelina

2024-02-15 18:54:01 UTC

The person is desperate, lonely, and blinded by love.

Ana

2024-02-15 18:54:12 UTC

If the person giving the potion didn't think it through he/she would still be in love. Unless, they really thought it through, but still did it that wouldn't be true love. The person receiving the potion would be forced to love so they would definitely not be in love.

cody

2024-02-15 18:54:17 UTC

The benefits are that they will love you forever and the consequences are that they don't really like you because you are using a potion to love them

Kenneth

2024-02-15 18:54:55 UTC

i would be mad. i wouldnt want to be forced to love someone. i would get mad and beat them up.

Olivia Park

2024-02-15 18:55:00 UTC

They are so in love with you which makes them not care about anything else. They would do anything for you and die for you if they could.

roxy

2024-02-15 18:55:10 UTC

no. love should not be forced, everything happens for a reason. Therefore, it should happen by itself.

Charlotte

ss28399 — 2024-02-15 18:55:18 UTC

I don't think I would ever buy the love potion because I don't have and won't have anyone to use it on. If I was ever in love, I would prefer for the love to be natural and not forced.

Matt Miller

2024-02-15 18:55:56 UTC

This is a good sales technique, many companies use this same technique. It doesn't show these dangerous effects, but makes people keep coming back to the store.

kenneth

2024-02-15 18:56:34 UTC

no benefits. they would stop everything just for you and would be completely obsessed with you

Luke

2024-02-15 18:57:14 UTC

This is a bad sales technique because in the beginning, nobody wants to kill their crush. They believe that having them love them their entire life will be good and fun, and when they realize its terrible, they will have to drop 5000 bucks on another potion. The man should keep on selling the way he is doing it right now. He tricks people into thinking they are getting a good deal, when in reality, they're going to end up spending 5000 times more money.

Noah

2024-02-15 18:57:16 UTC

Some benefits would be it would make your crush love you but some consequences would be that you get tired of them and you would want the life cleaner and they sadly pass away so i dont think this is a good solution to love. I would suggest they love you for who you are

Matt Miller

2024-02-15 18:57:30 UTC

No, because I dont need the potion

Ana

2024-02-15 18:57:56 UTC

if they were combined, but for the same price of the two separate potions it would work basically the same. Still, morally this is wrong.

Leo

2024-02-15 18:58:51 UTC

This wouldn't be very good, because if there was a love potion mixed with something that can kill people, than what is the point of having the love potion when they will seize to exist anyways :skull:

Joey

2024-02-15 18:59:58 UTC

The technique is good for the company if they don't reveal the side effects of the love potion but if they did, no one would buy it because no one would want to kill someone they loved.

Harper

2024-02-15 19:00:17 UTC

No. love isn't supposed to be forced as love is supposed to come naturally. If love is forced, then there is a chance that one person will feel no attraction anymore because of how they were forced into loving that person. When love comes naturally, its reciprocated back and forth between partners, it isn't one sided.

Ana

2024-02-15 19:02:18 UTC

You would love each other for a short time. Then you would soon realize the effects and be miserable.

Matt

2024-02-15 19:14:34 UTC
