You can’t find love.
Can’t find it, can’t fall into it, can’t get it, and can’t lose it either.
You can only become It.
You can’t find love because you are Love. You are Love itself. You are the Love that you long for, you are the Love that you yearn to create and experience. You are it—absolutely, truly, without question or doubt.
Whenever you think that you can find love, you assume that there is some love that needs to be found. You assume that love is something that doesn’t already exist within you, in this moment, in each and every moment. This thought in and of itself prevents you from living the love that you are.
When you think that you need love and that there is some person who can give you the love you long for, you put a barrier between yourself and who you truly are. And there can be no true love between two objects – it is impossible. As long as you remain distant from the Love that you already have inside of you, your relationship will be limited by the boundaries and the resistance that you yourself create. This has to be the case because as an object, you must be limited by all concerns and idiosyncrasies.
Yet, you see, when you know yourself as the Love that you are, life in itself becomes an ecstasy! Whether you are with a lover or alone, with friends, with nature, you are always in love! You live love, you breathe love, because YOU ARE LOVE.
There is no need to seek outside of yourself for that which you already are. Simply become what you are. Know what you are. Experience the beauty, the perfection, and the love that you have inside of you right now. You are the perfection, the beauty, and the love of the entire universe. What does that leave out? Nothing. You are the love, eternal, unbounded, uncaused, and irrevocable.

When you know yourself as this Love, all fear, all trepidation, all hesitation dissolves.
As long as you consider yourself to be a person, limited in time and space, looking for someone to love you, you will be cutting yourself off from the Love that is eternally within you. So there is only one tip, only one trick, only one word of advice, and only one action step – discover and experience the Love that you already are, have always been, and always will be. As you discover this, the relationships will come, the romance will come, the love will come, all will come because you are the very thing that you seek. Become the Love that you long for—become it and let it infuse and penetrate every cell of your being. Know yourself absolutely and unconditionally. You are Love and that is all you ever need to know.

Open up to the infinite potential which lies within you, not as a male or female human being, but rather as a formless spirit entity. A better word for 'object', I would say, is physical manifestation. Seek inspiration from within, rather than without.

Attachments to others occur based on the belief that we are inherently incomplete and unwholesome without that 'missing piece'. This is a very misleading conviction. We convince ourselves to be imbalanced in nature, therefore facilitating the desire to seek completion from external sources, despite how time and time again we are faced with the realization that any external source is, after all, independent of us and thus unstable.

All souls are balanced and perfectly wholesome in nature, because at that level there is no distinction between you and I, internal or external; all is one. Tap into that awareness, for that is where the essence of eternity lies.

disagree... I personally have a very down-to-earth love. After a year or so, it gets that way. I think what you're talking about is infatuation haha

You are missing the entire point of this thread, which is advocating seeking an inspired state of being through alternative means, rather than engaging in romantic relationships.
