I'm sure depending on what was on your mind, Evie, you are right. As is Tack. What I meant was that I've been through, and then baby-sat close friends through, the experience of "trying" to love someone solely because they were lonely and wanted a companion.
It's hard to be alone. It's terrifying, and worse you can't escape people's pity. But it's much better to spend your energy on something special than continue a relationship that was flawed to begin with or started out simply because you didn't want to be alone. That was all I meant.
Love IS work - friend love or romantic love both. But I think you'll agree with me that the ones that develop naturally don't require "trying" when it comes to feelings. You just DO.
