Real love doesn’t say that I am ‘in’ love with you. I never understood why people said that. This implies the possibility of one day being ‘out’ of

love. Heart love is simply, I love you. That’s it. No escape clauses necessary. The phrase falling in love suits this illusion quite well, because they are indeed falling into an emotional trap or hole, whereas with real love, you are rising to it.

I’ve often wondered if it is a misunderstanding of what they are saying. Saying ‘I’m in love with you’ sounds silly to me
I’m in love, that’s a statement the makes sense.
I love you. - pretty straight forward.
I’m in love with you- this is telling someone that they love you and you love them. You’re speaking for both sides.

@nonsensiclesnail True. I never looked at it that way, but that is another good point. Glad to see someone else who hasn't fallen into mindless and habitual uses of phrases that don't make sense.

@SW-User it is unintentionally possessive on the wrong context. Or it could be used as a way to express agreement on the idea of where they stand.
Love is a risky notion. people claim love when they mean so so so many other things.
