TS> Love is something palpable.  It can be withered away.
DF> Weigh out an ounce of love, and I'll believe you.
    
TS> I can, figuratively.  It won't be an aviordupois ounce, but the
TS> measure will be just as valud.
   
   If you really believe that love is "lost" once it's given away, then
you must accept the person you should try to get to "love" you is she
who has not "loved" yet.  She who has "loved" the most is useless to
your definition of love.
     
   I doubt that.  Love is a resource renewed daily.  One can give away
all the love you "have" -- and still find more love to give.
     
DF> I have close friends, both sexes, that I love.
TS> I think that you have confused love with close friendship.
    
   The only difference I've ever felt was in degree, not in kind.
