I thank you for correcting me, but as I you too have not been reading/paying attention. It is said in the following chapters how he feels:
Ch.4: he says he isn't interested in falling in love & the many marriages proposals he rejected
Ch.36 : ex-GF mentioned; Marquis Dallia's daughter
Ch.41 a lady is mention to be infatuated with Alphonse.
And so forth, I based my response on how he is portrait with his aloof personality with every women he ever crossed paths. And after he confessed his love and his love was reciprocate.
Kinda interested in that ex girlfriend of Alphonse-
