The problem with the English language is that there is only one word for "love," and that word has been bastardized too much in modern society.
When using the word "love" it is never clear whether it is meant as romantic/sexual love (Eros), brotherly love (Philia), or unconditional love (Agape). Furthermore, some languages have many different words for the term depending on the context it is used, so in cultures using those languages I seriously doubt a discussion such as this would ever even take place because being "in love" with someone would be described by a totally different word than just "loving" someone.
