Watch the clip ... when Alex asks him if he still stands by a comment he made 2 years ago that he didn't think he'd ever truly been in love, Zayn very politely agreed with the sentiment.

Zayn explained, "Because my understanding of love is always developing. At that moment in time, I might have thought it was love, but as I got older, I realized maybe it wasn't. Maybe it was lust. Maybe it was this ... maybe it was that ... I don't feel like it was love."
