Symposium by Plato
It might be an odd choice for this site, but give Plato a chance here. In this dialogue, which is more than occasionally hilarious, he tries to work out what love actually is. And, in so doing, he makes some of his best commentary on how to treat people.
For real Platonic Love, there’s a lot more to the story than the rejection of the primacy of physical love, and a lot about the development of people as full thinking, moral beings. That makes this short book one of my favorites
