I think you speak too lightly of love. How can he truly love someone he doesn't know. If anything he is in love with the "idea" of her.
I define love as "the act of devoting all that you are into the mental and spiritual growth of another".
That in itself takes time to form within yourself not to mention that it's not possible if the person you "love" does not share the same feelings. If they don't share the same feelings then they're not letting you in, you can't effect someone who isn't letting you in. They say people fall in love, I would put it as people see the possibility of love and then start to form it together. True love, like anything worth while, takes time and effort and a deep sharing between two people.
