“It is hard for the human soul not to love, and it is necessary that our mind be drawn into some sort of affection. Love of the flesh is overcome by love of the spirit. Desire is quenched by desire.” –St Jerome
You must cultivate a deep desire for true love, in all its purity, to truly know another and to be known. Cultivate the desire not only to want what is best for the other, but to be that good that they need. These desires will quench the desire of the flesh.
