“I Love You” & “I’ m In Love With You” Is there a difference?
I don’t remember where I picked this thing up. But It just strikes my mind again today…Is there a different?

Being a person who learnt English as second language, I don’t see a different between the two in the beginning. To me, it was just different phrase to express your love to someone.
Come to think of it the second time, it can mean different thing depends on how you use it. “I love you” can be used in romantic way but you can also love other people just not in romantic way. For instance, you can love your friends but you’re not “in” love with them. You can say “I love you” to anything, your wife, your uncle, your mum or your pet but you will not say “I’ m in love with you”.

“In love with you” is more intense and only shows romantic feelings. So when someone says they are in love with you. It’s a whole deeper meaning… not something that would be used on a more casual basis.

The word love is tossed around so much that when it’s said to you personally, or you say it to someone you need to mean it. I love pizza, I love that dress etc. See…it’s just too easy to say you love something.
