Almost something, but almost everything.

People always try to convince us that "almost somethings" hurt more, how true is this? Why do we find it difficult to accept love when there is also reciprocity in non-serious relationships?

The “almost somethings” are full of idealization, you often fail to get past the falling in love stage. Then you don't have the opportunity to get to know that person in depth and realize that just as they have great virtues, they can also be full of defects.
