really depends on how one defines *love* and what kind of a context they are talking about.....
Are you referring to respect, trust, admiration and support or merely butterfly, goofiness love at first sight crap? as the two are very different......
I feel that Lust is overrated, it is nice at first but once it wears off you had better hope there is some true love or at least respect left to help you through the rest of your time.....true love and respect are IMHO not overrated but I have a feeling they are nothing like what you or the media tends to fool people into believing is *love*
