Is it okay to pretend to love someone if you're up front about it?

and just to clear things a little bit, no I have no pretense with anyone and have no designs in that direction. I did make another comment in the post here which might explain the question.

I can understand being in a relationship that is based on considerations other than romantic love; and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as everyone is being honest about it, and their intentions, and all involved are okay with it. And, I can understand enjoying being with someone, treating them with consideration and kindness and giving them your attention/time etc. but not being "in love" with them. But, I don't understand the need to pretend to love that person. If the person needs you to feel love for them, then they need to be with someone else if you cannot give them that. And, if it doesn't matter to that person, as long as you are good to them, why the need to feign love?

Why bother?

If the other is okay with it, why not?

up-front meaning saying, "I know I act like I love you, but I really don't"...?

right.

@hankster reminds me of "The Girlfriend Experience"...
