Is Love Selfish?

While the concept of Love depicts it as unselfish, there are personal & selfish reasons used to determine who we Love. These selfish reasons have been socially defined as 'criteria' or 'desired qualities'. We might not even posses those criteria or desired qualities we want from the significant other, yet regard them as important. These remain the conditions we accept to Love the person. If you Love someone because she/he is religious, good-looking, wealthy...you will most likely fall out of Love when they stopped possessing those qualities. By the time you are old enough you Love anybody because YOU don't want to be alone.
The logic in Love was to find someone to selfishly compliment each other. I will conclude with three questions I asked a girl to teach her how selfish relationships were:

Question 1: Will you continue a relationship that makes you happy and satisfied?

Question 2: Will you continue a relationship that does not make you happy and satisfied even though the other person was?

Question 3: Will you continue a relationship that makes you happy and satisfied even though the other person wasn't?
