The feelings you as nonlimerent may have about another person may include sexual attraction, friendship, and affection, without the compulsive and intrusive fantasizing or the exclusivity. You may even be jealous, but the jealousy, if it occurs, is more like the jealousy you might experience if a co-worker were selected for an advancement. ‘Love’, in most of its meanings, involves concern for the other person’s welfare and feelings. Although limerents also have such concern, nonlimerent affection and fondness have no ‘objective’; they simply exist as feelings in which you are disposed toward actions to which the recipient might or might not respond.

et pourtant.
