The answer

Love and emotional inclination are in the hands of Allah. However, some advice may contribute to resolving your situation, including: understanding the other's psychology, avoiding what they dislike and offering what they love; overlooking negatives and focusing on positives, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A believing man should not hate a believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another"; engaging in permissible recreational activities; using (Islamic incantation) due to the possibility of evil eye or magic; considering the many benefits of marriage, such as raising righteous offspring, and prioritizing them over inclination, as Allah Almighty says: "But perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good"; and increasing acts of obedience and supplication, because hearts are in the hands of Allah, as He Almighty says: "Had you spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together."
