Well, that's knowing someone in the biblical sense. However, I don't think that's long enough for love to develop, so it falls under 'infatuation and obsession'.
I mean, you can fall for someone easily, you just need time to confirm if you want to spend your life with them.

I think that you do need to know someone to really love them for good, but I think love at first sight is a bit misleading. Its not necessarily their looks that get you. Sometimes its something they do when you first meet them. That doesn't mean that they're meant for you but it might. (Like someone sees you're having a bad day when other kids pick on you and intentionally compliments you on whatever they were picking on, or something)
But my more generally philosophy on love is that you have to be friends first and foremost. It'll hurt more if it doesn't work out, but if you're friends you'll have things to do together long after the romance wears off.
And my boy says love is 1 part tenderness and 2 parts silliness.

Also, Kender is pouting because she was trying to tease you and Luc with her question, and you didn't go for it.
