A couple of options:
- a mundane ability always takes a penalty. - a mundane ability can only augment your resistance (even the default 14)
- a mundane ability can only be used to resist magic if it is a very direct opposition.

In the case of the love potion, I might be inclined to say that maybe you only resist the potion with a 14, and if you fail you temporarily gain the trait "Loves x" at the potion strength. You can resist that trait normally.

Note that mind controlling magic faces added resistance, and that I don't know off hand of any way of making a love potion other than somehow binding a spirit or something into it.
