<human>: I've had several relationships in the past but none seem to last more than about six months or so. In each of them I've ended it, primarily because I don't feel the same level of emotional connection to her as she does to me. I've had girls (two) in the past who've told me that they're in love with me but I honestly can't seem to form a genuine attachment to another person. I'm currently seeing a girl who I share so much in common with; we like the same things, have the same hobbies, interests and ideals. She is beautiful and we have an incredible sex life. I greatly admire her and yet... I'm not in love with her. At least I don't think so- I feel like I've seen so many movies where two people are utterly and undeniably in love that maybe my idea of 'love' is distorted by them. Is it just that I'm putting too high a demand upon the connection between her and I?

I guess what I'm struggling with is whether to end this now (and continue my seemingly futile search for a meaningful relationship) or continue with it (and enjoy what is, ultimately, a fun relationship).

So, r/relationships, how do you define 'love' and how long did it take for you to find a meaningful connection with somebody, or at least come to the realization that that is what you had?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I feel like I can't form an emotional connection and I'm not sure if it is due to having too high an expectation on what 'love' is or I just haven't met the right person yet
