The question

Is it appropriate to ask God to make someone like you back?

The answer

"Let it be according to Your will." This should always be our attitude in prayer whenever we ask God for anything. Sometimes God does not respond to our demand because we ask amiss, for we do not know what is beneficiary for ourselves. So do not ask God for a specific request but to have His will done for your best interest. The Holy Bible teaches us to "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Mt 6:33).
