RE: Why Does Love Fade With Time?

You're right. Love is built on effective communication and understanding.
What some people call love at first sight is actually attraction at first sight and infatuation.

Yes. A majority of what we have out there is simply infatuation and not real love. And..yes you're right, love at first sight is nothing but attraction.
Is there a difference, though, between Love and attraction? Isn't it contradictory to say "you feel deeply attracted to someone", without actually loving the person. It's an either-or situation.
You don't know you love someone necessarily because you saw them for the first time and you love their appearance or charisma.
You only know you love someone when you've communicated with the person long enough to know who they really are and if you can tolerate them.
That's why I said earlier love is built on effective communication and understanding.
So there is a difference!
