As a man, who has felt this love for a number of women. I did and do still love them. Why does that seem odd? We know who we love and who we don't. Sex is not the seal, but it can confirm a deep feeling you have for someone, and yes it can be unrealistic, but only in terms of the woman or circumstances that make it too hard to continue into a permanent relationship. Nicole you are lovable. There should be no confusion about that, ever, because love is an action toward and for someone.
