so what about the people who have no faith in anything, and that require definitive proof for everything?

Love does take faith. Those who have no faith in anything spend their life time bouncing from one thing to another and usually don't stay in long term relationships. They are searching for what some of us already know and embrace.

I don't agree love requires faith. I would say that love creates faith.
Some people won't let it create it in them, though, and they are always insecure. They may rely instead on the facts of a relationship.

Good point. I understand love to require faith. I am more skeptical than most, and feel I have faith. I'm not clear what "definitive proof for everything" would be. (it might be logically impossible)

You have to have some sort of faith in order to believe that a thing such as love does exist. If you have no faith then you are just contradicting the idea of love. So keep on believing and enjoy the time you have on this earth. Whether it is by yourself or with the person that is making your life that much better.

This is a typical example of how believers try to twist things;)
1) We, Atheists, DO have Faith in something, something called MANKIND. And we have Faith in Mankind because We know/can prove that Mankind is endowed with INTELLECT. And Intellect is what makes Mankind worth our Faith in it.
2) LOVE is a FEELING, and when we fall in love/love we DO TRUST OUR OWN FEELINGS, WHY? BECAUSE, belonging to ourselves, WE KNOW/CAN PROVE OUR FEELINGS ACTUALLY EXIST.
3) Trusting the 'object' of our love, is just a REFLEXION of our Trust in our own emotions.
4) Furthermore, the word FAITH is not synonymous of TRUST. And LOVE requires no FAITH, but TRUST instead;)
So, as you can see, your question makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

I don't believe those people exist.
Nor do I believe love requires faith. Trust, perhaps, but not faith.

Love doesn't require faith.
Sure, if you demand something in return for your love, it requires faith. But true love can easily be unrequited love which requires no faith because it demands nothing.
The Christian idea that you do things to get things warps the true ideas of love and charity.

I'm sure you are talking about atheists with the 'no faith in anything' talk, but I have plenty of faith. For instance, I believe you are an idiot.

Life requires FAITH...Love is just part of it. If we do not have Faith --we have nothing.

You have an interesting definition of "faith".
By your definition, I doubt any but the insane have no faith at all.
