I agree with the "hero" concept. Other ponies have "loved" before. Spike just tries to impress Rarity. He doesn't act all "love ga-ga" every time he's around Rarity (watch the end of Sisterhooves Social.) All "little boy" characters have a crush, and all they want to do is impress the girl. So Spike does not want to "love" Rarity. Only impress her.

This is for those who say "Rarity is in love with Spike." People say "she used her personality to influence him, she loves him." She's done the same to other characters. (Watch the beginning of The Best Night Ever, when she gets those ponies to pull the carriage.) In my opinion, Rarity knows Spike has a crush on her, and she just respects that. I mean what else is she supposed to do? Not give a crap and just ignore him? Of course not.

There is no "love" between Spike and Rarity. End of line.
