And it would be easy for an android to fake emotions. In humans, sociopaths and psychopaths are literally incapable of some emotions. They don't feel love/believe it exists, they feel no regret, remorse or empathy. But they're capable of faking these emotions. You've probably met a few sociopaths in your life who you believed were regular people. So androids can be capable of this too. You can't programme something to "feel", but you can programme something to fake these feelings by expressing them verbally or thought body language.
Would you have a relationship with an android?
