Quote #4

"You're not in love with me. You never wanted to marry me, did you?" (1.4.267)

Clara knows that Amory never really loved her. He just said he did because he wanted to be in love with someone. He's tired of being alone; but that's not the same thing as loving a specific person.

Quote #5

"I wonder if you know you love me." (2.1.212)

Rosalind isn't a shrinking violet. She plays all sorts of headgames with guys and constantly accuses them of being in love with her. The truth is that many of them are, so she ends up getting the upper hand on almost every occasion.

Quote #6

"Suppose—we fell in love." (2.1.261)

Amory falls in love with Rosalind the moment he first lays eyes on her. But rather than say it directly, he asks her to entertain the hypothetical scenario of them falling in love. It's a thin ploy and Rosalind knows it. Before you know it they're totally making out and saying they love one another.
