Sorry but my answer is no. Romantic love is a chemical response to our hormonal fluctuations, and although it may be the best thing to happen at certain stages in our lives, by no means do humans find it as satisfying as other activities such as:
1. Achieving goals
2. Winning
3. Getting Awards
4. Getting through adversity
5. Being successful in something important to you.
6. Watching someone you love being successful in something important to them (vicarious pleasure and satisfaction)
What is vicarious?-shared in or experienced by imagined participation in another's experience {a vicarious thrill}

NO!!! Falling in love can be transitory and may not last, Loving is the most satisfying thing that you can do. Loving someone with your whole heart and soul, unconditionally and with full knowledge of their faults and foibles. That's the most satisfying thing that you can do with your life. Whether it's with your partner or your children or a variety of other people loving is the best way to spend your life.

I think making the one you love happy and satisfied is the most satisfying thing a person can do.

No. The most satisfying thing I can do is to do something which is worthwhile, like maybe learn a new talent or perform a kind act or maybe teach someone understand something better.

No, because falling in love is so temporary. Being in love is more permanent, because it's a choice. Falling in love kind of happens to you, while being in love is a day-to-day commitment to not walk away...like when you have an argument you just can't resolve, the bills are piling up, the kids are driving you crazy, etc.

Being AWARE of, RESPECTING, and SAVORING the true VALUE of AUTHENTIC love . . . . I feel those are (some) aspects of the " most satisfying thing one can do " (experience).
.
Once a person has " fallen in love " . . . how is that love being shared and embraced after the " fall " ? To me that is of more precious value.

No. The most satisfying thing you can do is to be happy whether you fall in love, be in love, no love. When things satisfy you, you are happy. Happines is the ultimate goal of man.

Of course it is. Love is so beautiful.
Love is red roses growing on a snowy field
Love is the musty scent of a mid summer afternoon
Love is the cool shady oasis in the middle of a scorching desert
Love is everything.
Love makes the world go round.

Yes, absolutely. A bit selfish but the best medecine of all. When we fall in love our imune system gets strong right away, androphine increase, etc... and you feel exhilarated. Problem resolve easily, a cold goes away in 1 day... It's the best!

Yes, but only if you fall in love with yourself, and do so with all your heart.
