If I was traveling along with Dorothy and her crew to visit Oz, I would ask him for real love. I think it's one of the most important things in your life to have someone who you love and who loves you back. It's something different than love from your family or friends. Love can be one of the nicest feelings but only if you're with the right person which is hard to find so i would ask Oz for help. He could find me somebody who would love me with all my imperfections and who would care only about me and would know how to appreciate me. Maybe Oz couldn't help me because you can't force love but maybe sometimes magic can help somehow but still it wouldn't be really fair.
