Rules of Attraction: Love

What's the difference between love and attraction? Is attraction a lesser form of love? Is it a certain type of love? Has it got nothing to do with love? Each of these questions then breeds further questions: can a relationship be sustained with attraction alone? What are the limits of attraction? What are the limits of love?

Me personally, I don't believe in love per se. I don't believe that love is eternal. I don't believe that there is one person out there who everyone is destined to find. I don't believe in true love, that is, I don't believe love is felt exactly the same by all people, rather it is a word assigned to a feeling which most people can generally relate to.

Linguistically, love is an annoying word. I can say I love playing guitar and there are no implications, but as soon as I say I love someone then all sorts of things are expected to follow. The all too common "if you really loved me, then..." is a good example. Love, in the context of human relationships, is this ideal that we're supposed to work towards, but in any other context, it's just a word used to describe a feeling. And that's how I think it should stay in all contexts - a word used to describe a feeling, nothing else. There is no ideal of love. There is no ideal of anything.
