How should a knight feel about love?

Depends on the type of love.

There's romantic love, which means that the knight should pursue the lady with honor, dignity, and respect. The knight wouldn't push himself on her or make a huge game of it.

Then there's courtly love, which is a very different thing from romantic love. In mideval times it was incredibly common for knights to have a lady that they would hold in esteem, even if they were married. (The wives were presumably ok with this as it was so common.) They would do many acts of valor in the lady's name, but were not expected to pursue the lady romantically or sexually. In fact, more than one knight fell out of favor when they asked for more from this scenario! (Either the ladies would reject them or a jealous husband/suitor/father would chase them off.) The knights would often receive tokens (ribbons, hankies, ect) from the ladies that they would carry in their breastplates whenever they went to battle. It's believed that Lancelot started off as a knight who at first had courtly love for Guenivere, but that relationship soon went beyond that point.

Of course there's no way of knowing whether any of the courtly loves became more serious or if any of the knights upheld the standard of knighthood as it was so long ago. (And besides, they were only human!)
