We yearn for love because these bodies make us think we are separate
from each other. This physical experience tells us, by this appearance
of separation, that we are lacking something which we must have to be
complete. Since our perception is from our center, outward, we
erroneously believe we need another to complete us, our other half.
The search inevitably comes back around to ourselves, for the relationship one has with himself, is a measure of one's capacity to love another. No one can love you more than you loves yourself and you must love yourself in order to share love, for how can you share what you do not possess yourself?
Some of us search entire lifetimes for a special person who understands us, who sees us, accepting us for who they see and loving us unconditionally. Some of us spend entire lifetimes with a special person who is aligned with us, sees similarly and have a value structure which reflects our own. 
Then there are the rest of us, right in the middle. You try and think you've found it, only to find out months, sometimes years later, the person has been hiding who they really are and you, because you wanted it to be true so badly, or maybe the two of you had lots of interests in common and it was fun, but over time small resentments set in or you simply drift apart, as the things you value differently pull you in different directions.

It can hurt if we become attached and our identity gets wrapped up in being with a particular person who isn't a match for us. However, in time we take the chance again, because we crave that feeling of loving someone or something so completely. The feeling of being the focus of someone's attention whom you respect and love is one of the most delicious feelings a human being can experience.
Why? LOVE is what we are - WE are the LOVE we seek! Do yourself a favor and LOVE yourself first!
