That's a very interesting quote, Ghungroo!
I think it means that usually people just care about themselves as long as they don't love anyone. But once you love someone you start to take their interests into account. You start doing things that'll please the person you care about.
I don't think it's talking about the love that we associate with boyfriend and girlfriend. I think it's talking about love in general. When you just love yourself then others don't matter but when you love others then their interests, likes, dislikes, and what makes them happy becomes important too.
I don't completely agree with this quote though. I think I may not love someone but I'll still think they are real and they have feelings and I will not want to hurt them in anyway if that gives me success or anything I want. I very much understand that others are real and so are their feelings and I'll never intentionally hurt them. And I don't think falling in love is necessary for that.
