To a certain extend, I have to disagree to that. 
I would say if you love somebody, you would definitetly want a
return in love & affection of sorts. That will be the ultimate
fulfilment.
But if it's not reciprocated, we still love them anyway.
right?
That's why I said "Love can be given without being expected in
return", not "Love is
given and not expected in return." 
There is a possibility of love being given without being expected
in return, there is a possibility that what is given is still love
even if not recipocrated. Love not recipocrated is also a form of
love (though many young people tend to confuse infatuation with
love these days). Correct me if I am wrong, but are you trying to
say that love given but not recipocrated is no longer love? That
love has to be mutual to be love?
Which also brings to mind our recent discussion on a thread about
True Love. If True Love is truly selfless, why does it have to
expect anything in return?
