Yes.

Definitely not Love.
Definitely not love. She does not appear to have guilt or empathy at all, although some HPDs can. I don't think you should visit.

I agree that the verse is a great description of the nature of love. However, you cannot just jump into love... it takes time and luck to reach that place at the same time as the object of your affection. To give those things without getting them in return isn't love.
You have to journey to that place in order to reap the rewards. It isn't an immediate thing, and don't feel guilty about "screening" women a very long time before you give your heart away. I have discovered through some pain of my own that people treat you how you let them. Obviously, this doesn't pertain to child abuse or rape and other things outside your control. But, if you do everything to make someone else happy at the expense of your own needs and wants, you are not doing them or yourself any favors. You are simply telling them without words that "I only deserve a fraction of the love, devotion, and kindness that you deserve."
You're worth more. Don't let anyone treat you as if you aren't.
