I think CptObvious has got it closest. When Neo turns to fight Agent Smith in the subway, Morpheus comments "He`s starting to believe." The Oracle discussion has to be looked at in total. "You`ve got the gift, but you seem to be waiting for something." My opinion, he`s waiting for a good enough reason to believe in himself, that he is The One. But, AT THE TIME he was talking to the Oracle, he was not The One.
I don`t buy the Trinity HAD to fall in love with him before he could be The One. He just had to believe, like everyone else did.
