Is there a way to force yourself to feel love towards someone?
TL;DR : I can't feel anything, how can I love someone again?
Back when I was 14, there was this girl I met and I ended up falling in love with her. At the same age, I got depression, which wasn't treated and seems to have rendered me unable to feel love again. I am currently 17. I recently met a girl, we got along very well, I liked her and she liked me, and we ended up dating. She has everything I could ask for in someone, and I really like her... But I don't love her, I don't feel the butterflies in my stomach when I see her, I don't get excited when I get a text message... There's this "test" that is comprised of 36 questions about your personal life that, supposedly, can make you fall in love with even a stranger. Well, it worked for her, and she's crazy over me... I just can't feel anything. Is there a way to feel love again?

Love isn't something that someone can just "make", unfortunately. Love is something that comes on its own, without invitation. You could go see a psychiatrist about this and they may be able to give you a more professional answer, but as is, I think you shouldn't force yourself to give out emotions you don't feel are there. I don't mean be heartless, but at the same time, don't feel like you owe it to anybody to feel something that you say you can't.
