Here's a spell for love that you can do in a pinch. Get a pink candle and a chunk of any pink stone (rose quartz is ideal, but even a pink marble would do ... and may appeal to you more!) If you have rose insense, all the better, but just meditating on a picture of a rose while recalling the scent is fine. Gather your materials - light your candle and affirm - "I AM OPEN TO LOVE" "LOVE WILL COME TO ME" "BRING MY LOVE TO MY LIFE" (note - not a specific party). Hold the stone or object in your power hand (the one you write with) and see it glowing with pink light. See love entering the stone and your aura. Continue this until you feel you are done, at least 3 minutes. Carry the pink object in your pocket or purse to remind you of your objective. You should see results within a moon (approximatel 1 month).
If love is meant to be, it will be. I feel that casting a spell for love, even if it is non-specific,is just asking for trouble.
I agree with Barb, If the clockwork of the universe brings two together, then so be it. Concentrate on oneself to be more loveable, and if you feel you must use magick, direct that inward towards self-cleansing.
Asking for love to come into your life is no different than asking for any other blessing. I disagree that asking for love is asking for trouble. Bringing love into your life is a very positive thing. Only when you bind another's energy does that desire become negative.
