Love is a discovery made when we can let ourselves be just who we are at the moment with each other unseriously. Forming a group of like-minded Minds isolates us and reinforces the idea of separation, the illusion that one is *better* (insert delusion of choice) than the other.
A delusion invested in by a group is anti-love. it's formed out of insecurity, breeds more insecurity, acts out of insecurity as it goes on to think in terms of us vs them.
coming together happens when there's natural inclusion of all while honoring the nature of each relationship.
Love makes no boundaries. anything that isolates and becomes an identification is not love. it's just identity looking to perpetuate/retain itself using anything that appears to share similar beliefs, very simply put.
If one seeks to be understood and collaborates only with those who validate that expectation, it is likely that one wants only to be understood without bending and therefore without bringing any understanding and openness.
Love transcends trivial things such as views-thoughts etc and love has nothing to do with finding similarity or sameness. Ego-identity has everything to do with finding similarity and sameness in various shapes or forms for its own sake.
As one sees reality without a need to dilute it, much of the journey is often made alone as the pursuit of madness rooted in insecurity and fear is realized to be more damaging as opposed to the general idea of its usefulness. 
Love can only come about in the absence of seeking.
But the journey is and must be made alone (a.k.a. without clinging to anything-Mind) anyway.
