I don't know of any sites. One interesting thing to note is that 'courty love' in the Medieval ages, was actually considered to be love without hope of success. It was perfectly acceptable for someone to be in love with somebody that was already married to another person. The agony of the spirit was approved of .
That's probably not what you were interested in knowing, though . |

I would use Arthurian legends as a model - various elements still apply to today, with respect to love. (I'm not sure that's exactly what you meant though.)
