This probably isn't going to be well-received, but I think it is something anyone considering such a thing should know (not that I suspect any of you are; I'm just being cautious).
When I was younger, 14-15 I believe, I cast a 'love spell'. I was hopelessly infatuated with an older boy who I really had no chance with, and the spell was done under extreme duress when I was feeling some very dark but extremely powerful things. It took several months, but the spell worked. With so much feeling behind it, how couldn't it? We were together for a year, but the longer we were together the crazier things got. Our fights could even devolve into him threatening to kill himself, screaming at me, etc. We broke up and he began stalking me. I eventually had to move out of the state to escape him. We don't speak, but last I heard he was with someone else.
Still, I had not learned my lesson and not too long after I escaped the fist man, I did it again. Sure enough, it worked. Again, we were together for a year and while the relationship didn't get quite as crazy as before it had serious repercussions. My feelings for him faded and it broke his heart. He did some very cruel things and started some bad rumors out of pain, but I wasn't as kind as I should have been myself. Years later, once he had married and even had a child, we began talking again. It seems we still had lingering feelings for one another and it seems he couldn't let go of the past (specifically the time we spent together) and neither could I to a lesser extent, but we fell out of contact as he was in the military. Just yesterday I found out he died on Tuesday, his family won't say how but I suspect it was due to suicide. I am not sure if it was related to the spell, but why would you take that chance?
The truth is, if you love someone, you won't do a spell on them to make them love you. There is no such thing as a love spell, at least on the part of the caster. The sort of feelings that are used to power such spells are extremely powerful but they fade, and that might be the most dangerous part of these spells. It might be possible to undo them but they may not work in time. Be careful.
EDIT: I am only referring to spells of this nature done on a particular person. I don't have any experience with spells that call your true love to you, simply make you more attractive, or strengthen an existing relationship but as of now I see nothing wrong with them.
