...Why ask this about love in particular? Either we have free will with regard to everything, or we don't.

Ow, the false dichotomy! As far as I know, you can't choose your emotions. That doesn't make them predestined, though.

I was tempted to say that too, but I wasn't sure how confidently I could assert it and then I realized the main point was even bigger.

But yeah, I guess even if we do have free will, that doesn't mean we control our emotions.
