This question is equivalent to "do you believe in friendship?" and both are very, very retarded. Any kind of concept constructed by social rules (which some of them necessarily public) has as much existence as it can: as a concept.
Whether there is people who behave according to the public rules or not is different question.

If you're asking for "love" as some kind of spooky metaphysical entity like "soul" or "spirit", then the answer is obviously no.

every man has a soul mate, but this soul mate cannot be met in this life, and is a spiritual entity and not a physical one.
your soul mate is the same being as your guardian angel.
your soul mate is the fulfilment of your desire
to try to meet your soul mate in this life, or to try to make someone in this life your soul mate, always results in disaster proportionate to your desire to make this impossibility real.
for you sceptic and atheists, instead of looking at the soul mate as a spiritual being, you can look it as a psychological phenomenon symbolizing Eros or desire
though our soul mates are with us all our lives here, we cannot see them until we enter heaven, and cannot be separated from them other than by being condemned to bell
Dante realized the truth of the soul mate.Read Later Vita Nuova. He realizes that his Beatrice is not the physical woman that he saw, but that the physical woman was just a muse that presaged his spiritual/mental souli-mate
in this world we can't have our souli-mate, we can only have bodyi-mates. Marriage is the union of two bodies, and if you read Scripture carefully you will see that it always depicts marriage as the union of flesh, not of soul. The idea that marriage unites two souls is sentimental nonsense that has caused a lot of failed marriages and disappointments, as people have tried to make their earthly body-mates their souli-mate
that doesn't mean marriage isn't beautiful; the body is not evil and the union of our bodies is beautiful, but it is not an absolute and fulfilling beauty like the union of the souli-mate, which is why disaster always occurs when one expects ultimate fulfilment from this only partial union of two people

Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it. And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam. And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.

see how Adam recognizes Eve has the fulfilment of his flesh. a part of his flesh is missing, and Eve fulfills that missing part. At this point in time Adam's soul mate is God himself because he is in paradise and God is providing for his every desire (everyone's soulmate is actually God in the final analysis)
Adam being put to sleep symbolizes his dreams and desires, so that Eve was given the shape of his soul's desire; however, Eve only has the image of his desire, she is not the fulfilment of it.

I should quote the next line

Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.

he also speaks of those in heaven having no marriages and being like the angels

100% medical grade ideology.
Homosexuality itself being a perpetual existing identity in clear opposition to heterosexuality is as contemporary as you can get.

I'd give you that there may be a chance of quasi-heterosexual practices of insemination (as comparable to Vedic duty) existing throughout the existence of the human race, but even that's a stretch.

Yeah, I believe in that happy place called "love". Sometimes it makes you feel like shit when stuff doesn't go the way you like.
Can be manifested in many ways,
Caring, feeling happy, or couple love (wich is the most common I suppose).
Of course that, by default you must love yourself in order to love someone else. Dunno, love it's so simple to feel and so complex to describe.

Not really the same thing, but the first time I was on a boat as a kid -- maybe about 10-years-old -- I was sitting across this real qt, her on her bench and me on mine, and, as the waves become more erratic, my stomach began to feel uneasy. So after a few minutes of this my seasickness reaches its climatic level of queasiness, perfectly aligning with the moment me and this qt locked eyes, and as soon as she smiled I turned to my left and vomited my In 'N Out burger all over the fishing boat.

I think I hid in the cabin after that, later overhearing one of the employees saying "damn, someone had onions!" referring to the ectoplasmic soup my stomach had spewed.

Sorry, just had to share that with someone.

>Is love a purely social construct though?
Love manifests itself through practice just as friendship does, that's why we can talk about it in the first place. "Love" is not private.

>Does it not naturally occur in humans in the state of nature?
Hardly. Can we say that monkeys "love" their partners from their point fo view?, or that dogs can love?
Animal behaviour is nothing but instinct, under this light we would define "love" just as other anons: strong sexual atraction.
But the social conditions which determinate atraction in humans are far more complex, which I don't think we can dismise.

So therefore, you can carry out vast amounts of the most infinitely depraved homosexual activity and remain irrevocably straight with help from God and the family through which you fulfill your Vedic duty. Human Nature being infinitely fallen it should come as no surprise if some time in the future he planned for mankind, the Freemasons Lodge and the Knights of Columbus have a rainbow party, as long as they get licence from the Lord on Sunday. In terms of actual gay acts being performed, it's no different from the Temple of Priapus. Thus the homosexual acts have nothing to do with homosexual identity, which is what I have been trying to tell you.

>Hardly. Can we say that monkeys "love" their partners from their point fo view?, or that dogs can love?

you're placing an unnatural boundary between humans and other animals. if humans can love it would be natural to assume that other animals can, though maybe to a "lesser degree", and there is a great deal of evidence to support this assumption. apes, elephants, dogs, and other animals all cry for the loss of those they spend time with, and there is a visible change in behaviour after the fact.
