The love that God commands isn't an emotion. It is an act of the will in which you choose to do what is good for that person regardless of how you feel about him. Acting in love toward a person sometimes has an effect on how you feel about him. If you regularly do good for someone you dislike you might begin to like him.

That is all fine for people to people. No argument.

Do you think reciprocity is a part of love? Must love be shared or is it real even if it only goes one way?

Also, please see answer 10 and reply as to how that works with God.

You and her must have been the life of the party. Not much of a party.
