Are you facing the prospect of being alone on Valentine's Day? It's not too late to make someone fall in love with you. Science fiction's full of handy ways to make someone swoon into your arms, and here's a list.
Love potions are a common theme in fiction generally. You can brew up a draught that makes someone fall in love — usually there's some restriction like "You'll fall in love with the first face you see." (As in the classic Prince movie Graffiti Bridge.) Too bad these sorts of things frequently backfire, or have unintended consequences. Note: This list includes a bit of fantasy set in the present day, but doesn't really include any substances that cause pure lust.
