A combination of some of these. The common conceptions of love are social constructs designed to create structure and meaning for our primal chemical desire to have companionship

Where tf is the “a choice” button? Problem think love is that lovey dovey spark you feel with someone but it’s not. Love is you choosing that person.. through sickness, through poorness, through their mistakes and faults. Seeing their worst and still loving them your best. THATS love. Love is an action. You don’t just say or feel it, you have to show it or it’s not real. Don’t get on me with that “love isn’t a choice!” Because it is despite your sexuality. We don’t choose who we are sexually..

True Love is a choice. You choose to love someone and stay with them through all the hardships and pain. Attraction is a chemical reaction and a primal response, but love is choosing someone even when you don’t always like them.

So I guess social construct would be most accurate but it’s not even social, it’s primal in our blood as humans.

Social construct and primal can not be the same.
