People constantly forget that even though the human psyche operates on a much more advanced science than the rest of the body, that it is just that, science. The human brain is host to an intelligence that we can only dissociate from AI because we had it first, albeit on a much more technologically advanced level.
Human ideals and "spiritual growth" stem only from personal experience. Someone who has constantly been trampled under the foot of disappointment in the dating world, who has experienced the scourge of over-inflated egos and personal agendas, will find the conclusion that love exists to be illogical, irrational, and immediately rule it out becaue it is contradictory to their previously conceived experience.
There is no up without down, there is no left without right, no positive without negative, and there is not action without reaction. Human logic is a cause and effect mechanism -- because I have seen nothing but disappointment, I have lost hope in finding love or that it even exists. Because I was constantly showered in adoration, I will defend that "all love requires is hope" until my dying breath.
Also, age has nothing to do with it. Like I said, it all has to do with previously gained experience, because all judgement and logical conclusion stems from that experience. I, myself, am 22, and I am young. However, I do know and have known what love is, not because I have truly experienced it, but because I have a social disorder that isolated me and allowed me to view our instinctive social structure as a whole, and therefore see the deplorable examples of what it most certainly is not. Because of this, I learned the differences between right and wrong, cautious and reckless, and learned to value the more important things in life much earlier than most.
I am young, but I can love if I am presented with the opportunity, and I am hoping I will be soon. I am capable of love because I acknowledge it, but deny that it is in any way spiritual. I know exaclty what it is on a biological level, and I recognize my human affinity to it. I recognize that it was a gift we were given, but that we make no decisions with our souls, only with our brains.
You cannot judge a book by its cover, and you cannot say that someone is incapable of a certain process of thought because of their age.
