true love is the goal that you want to develop with your current partner. you do it by caring about them and their interests, and getting them to care about yours.

the point is: don't just pretend to be interested. but try to honestly care. if you honestly love this person, you should be able to. pretending may help to get you started, but if you have to keep pretending, you may end up unhappy. better find something else to love about your partner.
