No, love, isn't unseemly (getting ideas) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

notions

'ideas' is the definition.
(notion is a kind of idea)

'no love isn't unseemly' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'unseemly' indicates an anagram.
'o'+'isnt'='oisnt'
'oisnt' anagrammed gives 'tions'.
'no'+'tions'='NOTIONS'

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for notions that I've seen before include "Fanciful or capricious ideas" , "Thoughts" , "Whims, ideas or small personal articles" , "Vague ideas" , "Fanciful feelings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
