Answer 1

Pulse 2 times, take a small break, and then repeat it again

Try this. Going with animation opacity is a bad choice. transform: scale() will do the job.

.heart:before {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  font-family: 'icons';
  font-size: 21px;
  text-indent: 0;
  font-variant: normal;
  line-height: 21px;
}
.heart {
  position: relative;
  width: 500px;
  overflow: inherit;
  margin: 50px auto;
  list-style: none;
  -webkit-animation: animateHeart 2.5s infinite;
  animation: animateHeart 2.5s infinite;
}
.heart:before,
.heart:after {
  position: absolute;
  content: '';
  top: 0;
  left: 50%;
  width: 120px;
    height: 200px;
    background: red;
    border-radius: 100px 100px 0 0;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg) translateZ(0);
  transform: rotate(-45deg) translateZ(0);
  -webkit-transform-origin: 0 100%;
  transform-origin: 0 100%;
}
.heart:after {
  left: 26%;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(45deg) translateZ(0);
  transform: rotate(45deg) translateZ(0);
  -webkit-transform-origin: 100% 100%;
  transform-origin: 100% 100%;
}
@-webkit-keyframes animateHeart {
  0% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.8);
  }
  5% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.9);
  }
  10% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.8);
  }
  15% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(1);
  }
  50% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.8);
  }
  100% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.8);
  }
}
@keyframes animateHeart {
  0% {
    transform: scale(0.8);
  }
  5% {
    transform: scale(0.9);
  }
  10% {
    transform: scale(0.8);
  }
  15% {
    transform: scale(1);
  }
  50% {
    transform: scale(0.8);
  }
  100% {
    transform: scale(0.8);
  }
}
span {
  font-family: 'Cantora One', sans-serif;
  font-size: 64px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 165px;
