Yes BUT it's unfair...no two people love the same.
Sometimes, one has not loved or been loved; so they have difficulty in knowing how to love another.
In 1 Cor. 13:4-13 best explains.
1 Corinthians 13:4-13:
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. 6 It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will all disappear. 9 Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little! 10 But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear.
11 It's like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now.
13 There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love.
Only God/Jesus knows how to love unselfishly, we as humans are given instructions (see above) but we are human and we goof up.
Grace to you and God Bless!

Yes, only if because we have a fairytle expectation when it comes to love. We all want to be swept off our feet, and to be cherished and loved. So we give what we're hoping to receive.
We tend to forget that there is no way to measure love, in the give and take of our relationships.
