If you do fall in love after death, then, yes, according to this Christian poster and CS Lewis- you will be accepted.

"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened." CS Lewis

However, according to Chrstian doctrine it is very unlikely - most conservatives would say impossible-that you will (fall in love after death).
As CS Lewis also put it:

"Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others... but you are still distinct from it. You may even criticize it in yourself and wish you could stop it. But there may come a day when you can no longer. Then there will be no you left to criticize the mood or even to enjoy it, but just the grumble itself, going on forever like a machine. It is not a question of God "sending us" to hell. In each of us there is something growing, which will BE hell unless it is nipped in the bud"
C.S. Lewis

No one thinks it's the least bit arrogant that CS Lewis can supposedly speak FOR God?  [/quote]

Yeah, I noticed that -- but maybe those who like what he's saying don't notice that so much[/quote]

maybe so . . . [/quote]
