I think the idea of love is one of those things scientists can't completely explain and all we have to go by is our own experiences. I don't feel any love for my first partner of 3.5 years. I felt nothing six months later when they wanted to get back with me either. That was 10 years ago now.
But that's your own experience. There are couples that stay together for all of their lives.
I mm quite pragmatic and wouldn't call myself romantic either. But even if sometimes you can't feel it, it doesn't mean others can't.
Who knows, maybe from a scientific pov, maybe love is a mechanism that helps people survive. Since they stay close to one person nd they help each other compared to being alone.
There is also an explanation of what happens in the brain chemistry during love.
But then again, love might be a spiritual thing instead of science.
