The verb choice is between can vs could... someone make me fall in love again?
In your question, the verb, can, asks the person to whom you're speaking to determine the probability of you falling in love again. But, if you ask this person: "Could someone make me fall in love again?" then you are asking the person to whom you're speaking to assess the possibility of you falling in love again.
Probability and possibility aren't synonyms. They are closer to being opposites.
Probability has a duty to be true, and it's measurable. Something is from 0% to 100% true. Possibility never has a duty to be true, and oftentimes, we never learn its outcome.
