Define love. Love is the same word I use to describe chocolate and my computer.
Let's go with "a combination of passion, intimacy, and commitment - with a good helping of respect." I'm simplifying here but you also want to be, on an important level, equals with your significant other. That's why you call your romantic interests "partners" afterall.
I hope you can't say that for chocolate and your computer.
