You can't choose not to love someone because your head says so.
You can love someone then choose whether to act on this feeling. And that's about it.
Love is a matter of taste. And to tell your heart who to love is as effective as telling your tongue what it likes to eat. Rationally speaking I should like the taste of sprouts but I don't, they're the foul taste of an entire cabbage condensed into one less nutritious miniature form, not to mention they ruin a Christmas dinner.
Now as soon as people talk about being rational in love they're doing the same as I am with my sprouts. I don't actually feel any love for the sprout, I simply eat it anyway because I think it's for a greater good.
