It did, does, and always will exist. The trick is to let it find you. You don't find it.

I'm one of the few impatient people in this world. I just can't wait any longer.

well then you are out of luck because love is not like a light switch where you can turn it on.

You can't force love to happen, it grows like a tree.
Then you have to maintain the tree, prune it, water it, then you can enjoy it's shelter on stormy and blazing days.

I guess there's a lot to learn about love.

The anthropocentric notion of love exists, but it is the common name for a chemical based affinity.

All of those hormones, pheromones, dopamine, adrenalin, mental state, situation, and 'attractiveness' etc. combine to give a 'feeling'.

The exact same person you loved more than any other, may not give you the same 'feelings' later on when those biological chemical cocktails are not present.

The 'real love' occurs when all those 'feel good' conditions have disappeared, and your 'lover' isn't so attractive, isn't so amenable, isn't so nice to be with, and the lust is gone, but you still want to be near them, or with them.

But even then, it's the biological chemical cocktails giving us the feelings that we interpret as 'love', over the rational needs and wants of survival.

Possibly similar to the chemistry making babies attractive to loving parents, when they are a noisy expensive burden, and smell like spew and poo.

Love is irrational.
