We learned in physics that "Energy can not be created nor destroyed, but can only change from one form to another". But I was always a chemistry person myself, and in chemistry, the same can not be said about love!
Can love be created? I don't know. I know it has a start, because you feel it growing inside you, with stimulants of course, but you do feel it growing. For one, I can always identify the moment where "love" started. In my humble opinion, I don't think you can force love, just like you can't force respect. You can pretend it, but you can't force start it.
Can love be destroyed? Definitely! Lying, physical or emotional abuse, anger, infidelity ..etc can all kill love. And i say "can" not "will", as I don't quite get the equation of how forgiveness works in that context, but I know forgiveness can win a battle against anything.
Can one change from one form to the other! Doubt it (ha2aoo)! Again my theory, is that it becomes dormant; silent, hidden, denied, until triggered. Triggers , I think, are different from one person to the other, and I'm sure there's a factor of time , a "another love" factor, the "bored and lonely"..etc. But then again, once a love has been triggered, it becomes awake, alive again whether your ready or not.
In a global cosmos way, that theory would , in a way, explain how love is created. I know that according to science and some religions, souls either attract or repel, even on first sight. So if X would meet Y, and their souls attract in some way, perhaps just introducing one trigger to tackle the emotions would lead to love in a very general sense of the word.
I don't know, that's my theory...got any theories of your own? Share them! Enlighten me!

Here is what my theory:
Forgiving, Forgetting accepting are so much related, He who can forget can forgive, and he who can forgive will accept.
There is no perfect match and no one can change into another one, there is where compromising come, and sometimes sacrifice.
I totally do agree that love can be destroyed, and as it takes 2 persons for it to grow, it takes the same number to destroy it.
Finally, I am not sure if there is certain rule for Love, It's laws are hidden and not revealed yet.
i agree with almost everything you said except the relationship between forgiving and forgetting. I don't believe the are related to be honest. One can forget without forgiving, or forgive without forgetting. And again you're right about love, there are no rules, just theories, and I for one like to philosophize about them :)
Emotions can not be measured. Our knowledge about it is just theories.
Actually, emotions are sort of chemical reactions; sight, smell, sound, touch and taste are all chemical reactions that transferred to the brain, and the brain responds. But, its too complicated to be considered that simple.
