Looked on girl's love, expecting doubt initially (5)

I believe the answer is:

ogled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'looked' is the definition.
(ogling is a kind of looking)

'girl's love expecting doubt initially' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'og' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'love expecting doubt' is 'led'.
'og'+'led'='OGLED'

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
