Still bullshit though right? What if that doesn't get the result you're wanting? Then what?
Have you considered the concept of loving anyway? Sometimes you can just say nice things, or do things without being asked and that is enough to change the momentum. From what you posted, I think that's a more effective approach than demanding to get your needs met.
