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.
Its ok to say 'I like you, but don't love you' ... that is being upfront and not pretending
How can you be both up front and pretending? Role play is OK if both parties are agreed on the parameters, but otherwise, pretending to love someone will ultimately hurt them and prove you to be a jerk. Let’s assume you aren’t, and therefore you won’t pull one over on anyone
