Love is love. It's a strong feeling that someone has for another. If I had to define it, I'd say the opposite of hate, but that's not totally correct. However, if you look at it that way love is love. You can't be in hate with someone...therefore in love would be impossible too.
However, with the connotation, I believe what others have mentioned. Being 'in love' is reserved for a romantic relationship. However, 'in love' is the same as infatuation imo. In that case, 'in love' is a temporary state that truns into just love. Love is a multi-faceted feeling and can't be easily defined. The love I feel for my family and is not the same type of love that I feel for jj. And the love I feel for my friends is different and in different extremes. I care for some of my friends, but love other friends. Love is a tricky thing. However, saying you are 'in love' with something indicates that it is a new love, an infatuation, a new experience or relationship.
Overall, it is nonsense, but in the english language it is used to differentiate stages of love.
