Just as in the comedies, a person who is in love
with the idea of love sees prospective partners
through the lens of idealism.
The reaction is, "This must be the one.
They are so perfect - the match of my dreams."

So what happened? That person with the cute smile
was not much more than a mirror for the hopes and dreams
of the one in love with love.
