Thanks to sensational programs like MTV's Catfish, we can now — as a society — sit back on our comfy couches and make fun of people who fall prey to online romance schemes. But when you are lied to, stolen from and emotionally ripped off by a stranger at a time in your life when you're most vulnerable, it's far from entertainment.

What do the best romantic love quotes we find for the men or women we love say about our relationships and the sweet ways they make us feel?

The beginning of true love, the falling in love part, gives us starry eyes and the feeling of butterflies in our stomachs.

Being in firmly and securely in love then also gives us someone who is our very best friend — someone to dance and dine with, someone to adventures with.

It makes us do things like this ...

And as it grows, love gives us a confidante — that special someone to share our deepest, darkest secrets and our highest hopes and wildest dreams with, and who sticks by our side even after hearing all about these things.

Love means always having someone around who understands us, even without having to tell them specifically what's going on in our hearts and minds at any particular moment. Love means having someone who always put you first, even if you yourself don't.

Love assures us that we will never be alone.

It's these reasons why we want to write sonnets and sing love songs, and why love makes us do things that other people might even think are a little bit crazy. If you've ever been in love, you'll totally understand.

It also inspires some of the best, most inspirational and romantic quotes ever uttered in the English language.
