Love, in Buddhism, always begins with yourself, before the manifestation of the other person in your life.
The teaching of love in Buddhism is that when you go home to yourself, you recognize the suffering in you.
Then the understanding of your own suffering will help you to feel better, and to love, because you feel the completeness, the fulfillment in yourself. So you don't need another person to begin to love. You can begin with yourself
