I wouldn't say I'm "in love" with any of them.

Of course just what it all means varies from person to person, but to me "in love" implies a sense of intimacy and reciprocal feeling, someone who makes me think Valentine's day isn't just another Halmark holiday, somebody I want to be with both physically and emotionally.

Love can be a one-way street, but you can only be "in love" with someone who's in love with you. Kinda like you can take someone out, but that doesn't mean you're "going out" with that person. Yeah, so that's my little analogy...love is like taking someone out.

well said mate, thats what i was thinking. I'm in love with driving and biking. But thats because my car/bike always treat me right, never ***** about this and that.
