Its only a good answer if you want to make love a vague, wishywashy word that fits any situation. If its to have any deep meaning then it can't just be based on a glance.

Put it this way; if you glanced at somebody and thought you had fallen in love instantly...would you then be devastated if you heard that they got hit by a truck and died 10 minutes later?

No. Because you didnt know them at all. And you wouldnt start saying that somebody you had fallen in love with had been killed either. Because you didnt love them, you were just attracted to them.

God Zippy, were you hunting for something to be sarcy about last night? You grab one sentence and run with it without glancing at the rest of what I said? Fair enough.

100% agree with this, but like I said before it completely depends on what your definition of love actually is and for me it is impossible to love someone without knowing them.

In fact it actually trivialises the word saying that you can love someone before you have even spoken to them imo.
