Just being attracted to someone or having feelings for someone isn't enough to say that you love someone, love is an activity and a development of one's personality and how one lives one's life due to that love. Loving a romantic partner requires the act of commitment to that person and doing whatever you can do every single day to help that person grow with you. It requires knowing that person better than anyone else in the most intimate way, caring for that person more than you care for any other human being, responsibility towards that person in being the best person you can be, and respecting that person as a human being, for who they are, and as your significant other.
I agree to disagree. I dont want to debate it. Just wanted to give my two cents. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
