Robert Greene in his Art of Seduction suggests you can get somebody else to fall in love with you via this scenario but I've applied it to myself and found it elicited strong emotions in me that I was able to transmit to other people. It also came apart just as Reik says it does once I read something that provoked envy that I rapidly attached to my object of infatuation and the infatuation shriveled up and blew away in about 48 hours, like the scene where the crust blows off "Pink" in The Wall after they shoot him up with anti-psychotic drugs.
Personally envy is the limiting factor of my reading program right now.
Are you talking about falling in love with someone because you transform envy into admiration for them?
Or is this about a strategy how to make them falling in love with you by making them feel strong emotions of admiration from them for you?
Whether it happens spontaneously or is engineered love is best when it is mutual.
Suppose there is somebody who has turned their back on their past and their own values. If you can be the person who is doing what they secretly want to do they first are going to feel a bit envious, hostile, and threatened. This can later metamorphize into feelings of love.
Assuming you've picked the right "victim" for you, you are also going to find the subject is something that appeals to you and engages you emotionally. Assuming that happens you are going to transmit strong feelings, for the other person every encounter you have might seem like a scene from a movie because of this and it has a powerful effect. (e.g. the ideal person to seduce has the characteristics to seduce you.)
I developed a great deal of influence over that person but when my infatuation popped I wound up using that influence to prosecute a domestic gripe which is about as anti-seductive as it gets and that person panicked and ran off.
The Robert Greene book has a good explanation of how to operationalize this.
