From my perspective fear stems from ignorance. We are afraid of our own death for a simple reason: we actually do not know what it means to us. (All our religious believes do not really help here, although there might have been some people that reached actual knowledge. But then, the ignorance and fear with it where gone.)
I would agree that acting on our fears may result with positive outcomes and that acting on love could result in negative. (I know quite a few ladies who would not like to do unto me what I would like to do unto them.) A dilemma? Not really. What counts are positive outcomes in our interactions with others. In this, learning about others (and other things) plays a critical role, eliminates ignorance (fear) and leads towards more harmonious interactions.
There is no polarity between fear and love.
