When I think about the origin of love, I think it is all about sexual desire: in old times it was all about sexual desire; people protected their sexual partner. After a while, people evolved and started to call this feeling love. What do you think?

No. Sex and physical attraction alone can not make a good relationship. People need to have compatible personalities as well to get along. Otherwise it wont work.
I think people develop "compatible personalities" because of sexual desire. In order to get what they want (sex), they have to behave in appropriate way.
That sounds like they are faking their personality. I would hate to put on an act to get what I want. I wouldn't want to be with someone who I didn't have a lot in common with anyway and I certainly wont change for anyone.
The only thing you want from your partner is sexual pleasure, to get it you try to find what you have in common with your partner; and some cases you change but you do not release it--because you want that relationship... You thing that you "love" him/her and if s/he does something wrong, it is ok; you accept something because of "love", which you would not accept if you did not love him/her...
love==sexual desire???
It seems we want very different things from people.
If I just wanted sex I would get a hooker.
If I wanted an actual partner I would want sex but I would also want compatibility which means I would choose somebody who had similar interests, beliefs and personality traits to me. I would not be with them otherwise and I am very picky about anyone I would even consider as a partner.
You must not have many standards.
Having sex with everyone is not the same. You may not get the pleasure from sex with a hooker, which you would get from sex with your partner. If you look at people, you can find similarities with everyone-all you have to do it to discover them. All your brain want it the sexual pleasure, since it controls you, it persuades you that you have similarities and you start to look for the similarities. Human beings are evolved in that way... love==sexual desire??
It sounds like a freudian theory. That bugger liked to revolve everything around sex
From an ancient-times perspective, non-sexual love has existed since Plato. See: platonic-love definition. Evolution doesnt work either cause dinosaurs made rawr sounds. See: rawr definition.
However, what your argument may imply is that perhaps love is a derivative of sex, which is an interesting angle. Kind of like milk=sex and cheese=love. Cheese came from milk. Love came from sex. cheese is so rich, refined and valued... like love. Milk tastes good by itself... like sex with a hooker. But if you have milk with cheese in it, THAT... well that's just disgusting
Plato is not that old. May be in Plato's time sex is evolved is some way. "platonic-love" is like respect. "Love" for your partner is the sexual desire and may be that "platonic-love"--respect combined together.
milk=sex???????
Usually people argue that when you have milk with cheese in it-if you have sex with the person whom you love, then it is even better. Therefore your conclusion seems wrong to me. Milk with cheese in it, should be good
For some of this may be hard to digest, but it looks rational if you look at from the view of sociology and evolution. Thinking it in that way makes me kinda sad... but it is the reality.
For most people I guess it is probably true, for me no, but I guess there's something wrong with me from that point of view
buahahaha, you think people will change how they act to appease the other person in order to keep having sex, and this makes for a great long term relationship of "love." That's a laughable idea.
