Hi PV,

2 cents:

IMO,

Love do not craves and do not clings. Do not has ownership.

Because many people were raised without love means that love has to be learned and practiced as it is the case of the Dhamma.

Love has to begun with ourselves. To respect us, to take care of us, to know about us and to response to us.

Like not taking intoxicants, not drinking, not cheating, not killing life.

Wanting more and more is not love... is craving... the source of suffering.

Anxiety about being all time together, no giving room enough to each other, fearing abandonment isn't love, but clinging... source of suffering.

Love understands the other, takes care about his needs and feelings, respects the other and is responsible about the other.

But beyond this, Gotama Buddha left teachings about loving each other when having a boyfriend or girlfriend, a wife or husband.

I can't remember right now the sutta, PV, but for sure somebody will give you the quote or later on I will look for it.
