Trigger words: love
Indicator sentences: Okay, but if you go so far as to empathize with them, put yourself in their place, and do loving acts for someone, then in what sense is that not love?
Negotiation parts: Because there is no actual loving feeling behind it. For example, if a robot is programmed to say loving things to someone, exactly like a person would, does that robot feel love? No. The actions are separate from the cause from which the actions come from. Same with you choosing to do loving thing to a person. When you love someone you want to do them out of love. In your case, you would simply be going through the motions, because you want to love them. You see in in marriages in which love has dissapeared. You still care about your SO, you do things to make them happy, loving things, you feel empathy towards them, but the love is gone, and the connection is broken. Since you would be able to feel empathy towards anyone. and if you so choose, you could be doing loving things to anyone. But the love would not be there. A robot couldn't feel empathy, either. And that's the thing--once you have empathy for someone, feeling love is just a tiny step over. In fact it's so close by that I don't actually understand the distinction you're making. It's not romantic love, and it doesn't mean that you let eyeball-eating-guy babysit your children. It's more like, a genuine emotional feeling of wanting the best for someone.

Indicator sentences: You've mixed up the meanings of love.
Negotiation parts: It is slightly misleading because you can love a person in several ways and God in different ways. Falling "in love" with a person is not true love at all; this is when a person finds someone attractive amd genuinely feels high from all the chemical releases. This lasts for a short period of time but becauseof how great and ppwerful it makesa person feel it is what has grabb the meaning of "falling in love" because of all the romabce thatcomes alon with it via media portrayal etc. Loving a God is based on a God:sdoctrine and your conscious value of it,and loving a spouse post-earlylove is more choice because you are in your normal state of mind and actually evaluating the person. This is what the term means, and it is misleading but you definitely can "fall in love" as i'vs described, to someone you find attractive.
