Being in love is an elaborate state of anticipation for the exchanging of certain kinds of gifts. The gifts can range from a glance to the offering of the entire self. But the gifts must be gifts: they cannot be claimed. One has no rights as a lover -- except the right to anticipate what the other wishes to give.
