How to act in Love

Hi Y’all!

Recently I’ve been avoiding auditioning for roles that require me to be in love with or attracted to someone onstage for one simple reason: I can’t act like I’m in love. I don’t have any experiences to draw from (ace) and when it comes copying others it feels and looks forced and almost painful. Any advice for how I can frame this issue so I can work around it? (Ex, comparing it to a different emotion and using that as a base, etc).
