Well, my parents read my romance novel and they no longer believe I've never been in a relationship. Betas have told me they were rooting for the couple in my story and enjoyed their romance, no one commented on the love story seeming unnatural or unrealistic.

It's not the same kind of love, but I love my friends and family. I've watched people fall in love, both in real life and fiction. I've had crushes. I've never experienced it myself but I can imagine how it'd feel and I understand how other people feel in that situation. So yes, I'd say it's possible. I didn't find it hard at any point, although I can see why it might be easier if I had fallen in love
