The problem here is with English. The Greeks had it straight: There was Agape, the sort of love you feel towards your best friend for life; there was Filia, the obligitory sort of love you feel towards your family; There was Amor, the passionate love you felt towards your lover, etc. etc.
Look at it that way. If your girl said that she loved Mesican food, you would neither be threatened by that, nor assume that she loved all sorts of food.
