"I Can't Make You Love Hannah If You Don't" is episode #1.4 of the television series Hannah Montana.

[edit] Plot

Miley has a crush on Josh, a ninth grader, but is reluctant to ask him out; Lilly eventually persuades her to talk to him, boosting her confidence by reminding her that she is Hannah Montana, but when Miley goes to talk to him she looks foolish and makes a hasty exit. Later, Josh calls her house; after talking to him, Miley excitedly announces to her father that they are going on a date, but her dad tells her she can't go. When Josh comes over to the house later, he gets off to a poor start with Miley's dad; Miley intervenes but is horrified when Josh mentions that he hates Hannah Montana. Miley tries to get him to like Hannah, because she feels like she can't go out with a guy who only likes "half" of her (although he doesn't know she's Hannah), but has no luck. He then shows up and says that he's decided to give Hannah a chance—he's going to take Miley to a Hannah Montana concert. Miley is alarmed but decides to go through with it by trying to secretly alternate between being Miley in the audience and Hannah on stage, which means frequently running back and forth and changing in and out of her Hannah costume, while making excuses about going to get food and drinks to explain her absences to Josh. Josh still finds that he doesn't like Hannah very much, though; he says he's more into hip-hop (so, as Hannah, she tries rapping on stage and looks foolish) and later says that Hannah should body surf in the crowd (which she does, fearfully). While body-surfing, she learns from Lilly that Josh has left the concert; Miley ruined the date by hardly spending any time with Josh. She realizes that she shouldn't have tried to make Josh like both Hannah and Miley.

In a sub-plot, Jackson meets a girl that really wants to go out with him. Cooper becomes angry when he finds out that the girl is his younger sister, Olivia. Cooper thinks she is an angel who needs to be protected and would never agree to go out with Jackson. Later, Olivia goes to Jackson's house to start a party, but Cooper comes over and she hides outside. Jackson convinces Cooper to leave by pretending he has a cough, but wants Olivia to leave too because now Cooper thinks he backed off. Olivia leans in to give Jackson a goodnight kiss, but Cooper walks back into the house to get the DVDs he left there and sees them. He gets really angry and tells Olivia to leave and get in the car. Cooper is really disappointed with Jackson, but finds out what his sister is really like when he turns to leave and sees Olivia kissing the pizza delivery boy. Olivia finally ends up getting busted by her older brother Cooper.
