Sure, but in her OP, she said "in love." That's different.

Well, it might be, if the implication is "I used to love you romantically, but now I love you like a friend".

However, I think people also overrate those terms, and use them as quick cop outs ("I love you but I'm not 'in love' with you"). Yes, it's important to be "in love" and for most people that feeling deepens. However, you have to be careful because being "in love" can also be a blinding and temporary thing. There's a reason why, historically, they equate being "in love" to being "sick" (e.g. "lovesick"). You "fall in love"; in general, when you fall, there's a sudden hard stop, LOL. It's easy to mistake being "in lust" or being "infatuated" for being "in love". JMO.

I would call it infatuation. It's not real love but is often the forerunner to the real thing.

I've been "in lust" before, and I've been infatuated before, but once I was actually "in love," I knew the difference.

Which is why I say "no" to being "in love" with more than one person.

In lust or infatuated with more than one? Absolutely.

JMO2.

You know when you say "Foreign films" it sounds like you're saying "porn films" well I was talking to a friend months back and I said something about foreign films and he thought I said porn films. ROFL He still teases me about that. "No I don't watch porn films, you idiot I said foreign films."
